So there was nothing to worry about after all! After the kerfuffle surrounding the end of the three presenting TG at the Beeb, I honestly thought that wherever they went nothing would be the same again in the motor show universe.
Well I am happy to report here that I was wrong, sorry let me write that again properly. I was WRONG! Yep it needed the capitals.
Amazon threw a lot of money at GT, probably 10 times the budget that TG enjoyed and today there must be some very happy execs in that organisation. The show is at once familiar and different, Richard Hammond's boyish charm (my wife is happy), James May's nerdy appeal and Jezza's sardonic take on everything - all is as it was, but there is also an excitement to GT that TG lacked, a production value that exceeds anything that has gone before as far as a magazine show is concerned.
I'm not going to go into any details, no spoilers here, but the whole show is spectacular, great cars, great music, great scenery and most importantly of all - great presenters. If you liked TG you are going to love GT!

I have just finished watching the first episode on BBC 1 and I am amazed to find that Planet Earth II appears to have bettered the original! The photography is perfect and Attenborough's narration, both content and delivery, is unparalleled.
This initial outing is titled "Islands" and whilst I don't want to dwell on the individual segments, the Racer Snakes vs baby Iguanas is probably the most terrifying piece of natural history film I have ever witnessed, not for the fainthearted or squeamish!
The "making of segment at the end of the documentary proper was particularly enjoyable and informative.
This is what the BBC does best and long may it last.

I thought I'd seen them all, Sixties comedy westerns that is!
This movie is a real gem. It has the quality of actors and the enjoyment of the of "The Sting" (with which you can compare it with), without the complication demanded of the Seventies.
To watch this film for the first time in 2002 was a real eye-opener, how did I manage to miss it!
With excellent actors (Henry Fonda, Joanne Wooodward, Jason Robards, Burgess Meredith and more) I found myself immersed in thoroughly enjoyable hokum.
The scenes involving Paul Ford (Colonel Hall of "Bilko" fame) are especially gratifying.
Sunday afternoon family viewing of the very highest quality, with a twist in the end to boot!
