The Car Show on BBC Four

I watched a documentary on BBC Four last night called 'The Car Show' which was about how motor shows on TV evolved, such as 'Wheelbase' to 'Top Gear' and 'Driven' to 'Fifth Gear'. The documentary was interesting to a degree (nothing much else was on on) but my interest soon picked up when they showed old clips from 'Driven' with Penny Mallory and the other two comparing a Vauxhall Agila (eeuuww), Mercedes A Class and an Audi A2! The clips showed their comparison tests such as overtaking a lorry. Hmmm. Not surprisingly, our Audi A2 won the day.

Given the number of repeats on BBC Four, there will be probably be a chance to watch it again in the near future...
