    Just watched the Escort one on catch up and I must say, I thought it was pretty awful - anyone would think it was that family from 'sarf Lunnon that made the car successful and nothing to do with Ford - I suppose it wasn't as bad as the channel 5 fiasco though.

    I'll look forward to the Land Rover one with interest though and then the Stag...............

    Cheers

      Too much bull and not enough restoration for my liking. I hope the Stag one is better

          Unfortunately these shows will always be edited to appeal to 'a wider audience', which means entertainment comes before education. However having said that, I enjoyed the Escort show.

          Also having helped make an episode of the BBCs Inside Story, I know that editing can decide everything! Also what is filmed in front of your very eyes, can appear very different when you watch the program...
          Something that surprised me afterwards, was how many strangers came up to me in the supermarket etc and asked if it was me they saw on that program.

                    Its great car, very underrated, comfortable with a great engine noise. Not as unreliable as they are made out to be? Or maybe that just wishful thinking.... Or rose tinted glasses from the drive it day today

                      Well I reckon part 2, with the Land Rover, was much better than the first one.

                      Let's hope next week's is even better - finger's crossed.

                      Cheers

                        I've just watched episodes 1 (Mk1 Escort) & 2 (S1 Landie) and they were entertaining. No great spannering bits, in fact one or two continuity gaps in that respect, but both episodes demonstrated a healthy community of supporters for each model. If the Stag episode maintains this aspect I'll be happy.

                          The outcome will be that one is very overrated and the other very underrated.

                            That would be great John, I hope you're right.

                            Still seems a slightly odd comparison though - I'll just have to wait to see how they do it.

                              The LR episode was better.

                              Now I've had a Stag and covered a few miles in it. I can compare it to the S1 4.2 E Type convertible I had for some time. I'd say reliability is on a par, just different things go wrong. The surprising conclusion might just concur with mine - one is better to drive and much more practical than the other.

                              But which one...??
