Richard Hammond's Workshop

Great idea, great projects, all let down by filming it like it's "The Office", but unfortunately an unfunny version.

Obviously these programs are heavily scripted or at least contrived, that's how TV works, but this would have been far more enjoyable if it was natural. I can believe it if Clarkson's farm faces financial doom, but this show just looks like a tax write off, I just don't care that a multimillionaire can't make a profit fixing chipped paint on another multimillionaires Lambo.

Just show us fixing the cars up and anything fun that may come from it, or get another writer.

This whole endeavour was a TV show idea and not a garage. I hope the team of mechanics know they're on their own when the show ends.

I didn't know what to expect, hoped it would not be another "fake drama, look, its RH doing stupid things making a prat of himslef again" type show.

It is not that at all! He has teamed up with a couple of very down to earth and extremely talented people and put their careers and his own money on the line.

It's well filmed, well scripted, seems very genuine and thoroughly enjoyable to watch.

RH is doing the right thing by his team and starting a business in a very competitive arena. It's a fascinating insight.

Fair play to him and the guys, it's a great show and I really look forward to every episode.

I hope the business succeeds and the show continues.

Really enjoying this, see Hammond trying to start a serious car restoration business with help of 2 locals who have their name & reputation to uphold & how difficult, expensive & how much red tape their is to stating up a business. Enjoying it so far. Recommended.

I only watched 20 minutes of the first episode and decide to have a cup of tea. I didn't bother watching the rest of it I then watched the next 2 in a row now that there starting to work on cars it is becoming more enjoyable. Hammond just does not have the same class of dry wit that Clarkson and May have but I like it with less over the top drama. Just waiting on the first £5000 windscreen drop that most car shows have.

As a fan of Top Gear and The Grand Tour and a fan of Clarkson, May and Hammond I was looking forward to this.

If it was half as good as Clarkson's Farm I would be content and I suppose it is in many ways.

Hammond comes across as a really fun bloke, his playful infectious personality comes through and there are many smiles to be had.

But as the series has progressed (currently series 3 as I write this) it has started to become more false and overly scripted.

The situations and set ups are so obvious now it has come distracting and this has taken the enjoyment out of it for me.

I'm pretty sure if it wasn't Richard Hammond fronting this, it would be not be rating as high as it is on IMDB.
