Does anyone still watch it, out of interest?

Yep, i still watch it (not seen the first episode of the new serties yet, though do have it recoreded)

To be fair, i watch most programs Henry Cole does (Junk & Disorderly, Shed & Buried, Find it Fix it Flog/Drive it etc)

One of the only (if not the only) motorcycling show on TV these days

Yeah, as presnters go HC isn't the worst, and theres a chance you might learn somethng new and useful from Alan Millyard.

A whoe day with HC might prove tiresome but there's a lot worse out there an he mostlt 'gets' biking from the old buffers viewpoint.

I do, and I saw this theatre tour at Harpenden too which was pretty good; interesting and entertaining. Steve Parrish was with him, and most of the team made an appearance (including Jellybean).

I like Henry Cole when he does his other stuff, but for some reason I just can't get him on the bike show.

I watch it, but I won't say I'm enthusiastic about it. I don’t like Cole's presenting style or the constant 'coming up', 'after the break' and 'previously' style of production. Oh and the music annoys me. Why just because we ride motorcycles why do they assume we want to hear hard rock? However, beggars can’t be choosers and it’s all we have on mainstream TV.

Yeah, it’s something, better than eastenders.

He’s a wealthy fella but the finances are more honest than Wheeler Dealers for example, where the cost of a full-time professionally-equipped workshop doesn’t even factor into the “profit”.

That's where I quite like MCM and Samcrac. They often make a point of doing the work on ramps and axle stands.

As the boss of Mathewsons auction house on TV’s Bangers & Cash says, you don’t make a profit buying, renovating and selling classic vehicles. But Mike Brewer always did, supposedly. It’s a bit like the Antiques Roadtrip deal where they never factor in the auction house fees.

I’ve gotta stop watching all that stuff.

No HC is an utter bellend.
