Aah. He's usually on C4 and so is F1. This could get good.

Chief

Just seen the trailer - set to record, looks a right laugh.
Eh, I bet that shifts like.
Does Terrahawk(?) ride a de-restricted e-bike for a speed comparison?
It's David Couldthard - Guy doesn't need an S1000RR - Honda CB90 will be fine!
Rachel
did anyone notice his Team JMC hat?
Also, Easter Monday, Wall of Death LIVE.
massive wall of death, 80-odd mph, Guy Martin, live on telly.
maybe the most epic thing ever. maybe.
stick with it until you see the wall they've built...... 😯
Bloody hell!
That's not a wall, that's a vertical road!
Gi's a go Mister 😛
What the...!?
Holy moly now that's a wall !!
Can't wait to watch.
Flippin Eck Chief, he aint is he? 😯
Amazing, can't wait!!!!
Chuffing bloody Nora! 😯
Mr Martin is surely posessed of a pair of these:

Crikey.
I bet i could drive a forklift better than him, though. So there's always that.
I'm going and standing on the top of it while he does it too! MEGA
Slalom..... really?
Bike wins acceleration
Car wins braking
Car is shit at slalom due to aero
Guy says by eck a few times
Both pretend to race a lap of silverstone. One wins by a cock hair..
One programme too far/soon Guy me ol cocker
Why's the car on wets?
Aye lost credibility with that one in the dry.. Good craic between them so far though!
Oh dear.
'this is how they change gear'
'this is how fit the drivers are'
'blahblahblah'
C'mon, looks like they had a right laugh! Great programme

One out of five is pretty poor even by STW standards.
God dam it, which one did I get right?
There is something wrong with any man who didn't enjoy that program.
Maybe I turned it over to Jo Brand walking around the countryside too soon.
Voiceoverman was boring me and car vs bike has been done to death. Then there's team Guy turns up in a van blah and I felt like I watched it a few times before. Sounds like I should have stuck with it

it was just a bit dumbed down, and felt a bit like an infomercial.
maybe they had to re-think things and do something a bit more simple after Guy spanged himself.
Coulthard has a massive amount of more natural ability than Martin, however Martin has a massive amount of more charisma.
OK'ish programme but did not expect anything more.
As said, bike V car been done to death.
Would like to see a £ per lap comparison to put it all in perspective, or Redbull V Tyco budget.
Having re-read my post, I can see grammatically I have quaffed too much Stella toneet.
Of course it was dumbed down. It has to appeal to everyone. If my wife can sit and watch it for an hour and enjoy it then I think they have succeeded as she has no interest in f1 or motorbikes. As much as I would love more technical information it would be boring for others. Just enjoy it for what it is.
I quite enjoyed it and it's better than the usual pap thats on TV.
What if you put *say* Rossi against *say* Hamilton? On/In their machines.
Rossi would kick him off 8)

Which one of them has crashed on a warm up lap? (Twice iirc) and which of them is a "professional racing driver" as a hobby?
Just watched - good fun.
Bit of nonsense really, but enjoyable.
The extra 4min film on the Channel 4 website is pretty good too.
"Articulate? - is that the word... Articulate?"
I recorded it so I FF'd through all the dumbed down BS and just watched the salient bits. It was all a bit obvious though.
I like Guy Martin but why does he have to say everything twice?
I combined watching this with porter and fish pie. Winner.
Total drivel but an hour of low demand entertainment. Tellybox, innit.
I thought there was about 15mins of interesting TV in it, but still watched all of it.
It was just a bit of fun. No baby robins were crushed (on camera anyway).
Rossi Vs Guy - would there be much in it? I don't doubt Rossi would probably be a bit quicker, but not enough to make up for the fact that the car's are 25% quicker than the bikes.
Would have been interesting to see a GP bike Vs F1 car though, I reckon it would have won the drag race with 30odd more horsepower, but I suspect Guy's brakes are nigh on the same as the GP bikes though.
Crazy watching the car go around the outside of the bike in the corners.
I think Guy was surprised at how laid-back DC was.
