Typical!  That's the same time as the England Rugby international!  Hopefully they'll repeat it some time.

Thanks for telling us about it, but it wasn't to my taste - I'm quite pleased to know that, so I won't waste my time watching any other offerings by that presenter.

Interesting to see what remains of Winfield Circuit.

Mrs FR and I started watching a programme presented by her a year or two ago about a Northern Lights cruise that we were going to go on. It was so awful that we turned it off after 10 minutes and I won't be trying this offering.

I watched the 1st part, fortunately that was when the Jim Clark, Lotus Cortina segment was on, switched off after that.

I watched 1 of her earlier programs, maybe episode 1 in series 1 as that covered the Lake District and, from a trailer, I saw that she "camped" in her motor home by where I used to live [Sykeside, I used to live in the Brotherswater Hotel for those who know the area]...but haven't watched any others

These programmes are generally produced for the ego of the presenters with very little depth to them - sort of fluffy time fillers.  At least they went to Winfield and it would have been interesting to have heard more about the short lived circuit but that would be too much to expect from this series.
