Richard Hammond's Workshop?

Ice Tea · 19 Oct 2021 at 09:36

Is it worth watching?

I hadn’t heard of this until now. Is this where he fixes all the cars he has crashed? (he’s wrecked quite a few now I think).

Great TV presenter but unable to reach the brakes due to his small size it would seem.

Classic car restoration business...

Really unsure about Richard Hammond's new shows...that 'trapped on an Island' one was awful and I had to switch it off within 10mins.

And after watching the trailer, unsure about this one either.

Clarkson's Farm and James May in Japan however - fantastic.

James Mays Foodtribe thing on YouTube is great entertainment as well.

Same. His engineering connections stuff is good but he's probably the weakest out of the three for standalone content.

Cars have adjustable seating positions to even cater for minions my friend, I don't know what cars you have been driving

But echo the others, as a standalone his stuff is ok at best..

James May has been posting on Instagram from Italy with a film crew so i don't know if he is doing another travel show.

James May in Italy would be so so good. But I guess they would have to put a unique spin on it.

His Japan show was excellent, personally think he is a great presenter..... notwithstanding his awful cooking show.

Yeah I gave up on that cooking show within two episodes. Really just didn’t work.

Maybe because Clarkson's Farm is a real farm? A lot of these car restoration garages seem to be made-for-TV productions, Goblin Works springs to mind they're as ephemeral as the show itself

Anyone remember that programme with him and Oz Clarke? It was hilarious for all the wrong reasons. You always knew that wasn't going to work you might as well put him in charge of the great british sewing bee lol.

I think its more Richard Hammond's style...when he was with Clarkson/May, it balanced but I find him a bit too contrived (even when its not meant to be/only a bit).

I'll stick with it for a couple of more episodes but it's a bit slow.

Maundie · 2 Nov 2021 at 17:54

Just binged all 3 episodes, quite liking it as it shows a lot more background than you get on Car SOS or Wheeler Dealers.

floatindolphin · 4 Nov 2021 at 09:08

The 1st episode was pretty bad, too forced. Is it worth sticking with?

Ice Tea · 5 Nov 2021 at 11:21

The second episode was better as he has a connection with cars through his family.

Think I must be the only one enjoying this!
