Without question one of the best programmes in the cars/entertainment genre to have graced Bravo channel - and indeed one of the best programmes of any genre to have appeared on any channel. Excellent presenting by the under-rated Brendan Coogan and 'Sister of Murphys' Philippa Lett, all underpinned by a brilliant script by John Camm, a script which some have likened - in dramatic power, if not subject matter - to The Bridge on the River Kwai. In a sense the boy-racer phenomenon of the mid 1990s can be regarded with a certain Proustian *recherche de temps perdu*, but it certainly breathed fresh life into the hobby of modifying cars, sometimes with whale-fin spoilers, sometimes simply with a six-speaker Kenwood ICE system. Things could never be the same again.
