I think it should be more London centric and especially centred around Old st, Shoreditch, brick lane and the odd jaunt into the Surrey hills famous downhill 'Barry's out West'.
Now the BBC has gone low-rent and moved to the badlands it's time to remind everyone that London is where the TV talent is.
As a cyclist I found the first 2-3 episodes embarrassing to watch so gave up
Pretty much summed it up for me. Terrible, cringed.
The only redeeming feature was Anna who came across as passionate.
The pieces, the production- everything was amateurish but not endearing amateurish. Terrible dis-jointed flow too.
Anna's brothers on STW- Leggyblonde.
Tonight at 8? I'll give it 10mins then come on here and moan for 2 days 😆

You stuck it out for 3 hours of viewing before reaching your conclusion? Top marks for perseverance. 🙄
AFAIK the Adventure Show still only gets aired in Scotland? Their strathpuffer and world cup features are always excellent, they could edit those down a little for length but otherwise use them as-is.
I'm sure the Beeb will love ITV nicking their productions 😉AFAIK the Adventure Show still only gets aired in Scotland? Their strathpuffer and world cup features are always excellent, they could edit those down a little for length but otherwise use them as-is.

I think the problem with the programme was that it didn't really appeal to anyone. More hardcore cyclists felt it wasn't in-depth enough (weak interviews with Eddy and Obree for example), casual watchers felt it was a bit too much detail.
It's like going into Evans or Halfords really. Never quite enough of what you need if you're experienced and are looking for something specific, a bit too much and too confusing if all you want is a bike.

The BBC sell programs to foreign networks all the time 😉
I've subscribed to global cycling network on youtube.
Theres a lot to like about their approach - very roadcentric but I've learned a lot considering I've followed cycling most of my life
Hhhmmmm, hasn't noticed before now that this is made by the same company that do the BBC Moto GP coverage.That increases my confidence as that has raised it's game the past couple of seasons.
I was enjoying much of it by the end of last series, especially Rob Hayles' stuff. Looking forward to this now.
Still the same presenter, only difference so far is people in background have been replaced with cardboard cut outs
C'mon the Essex boys
They didnt listen did they, next, one mans view on a bike we care nothing about!
Missed it!
it is on now Hora ITV 4
Wow last feature was weak - nice intentions but possibly the dullest VoiceOver ever, feel like a plate of chips and double order of pie is needed to counteract the worthy message.
Missed again! (Phew?) 🙂
