Richard Hammond's Workshop

Really enjoying this, see Hammond trying to start a serious car restoration business with help of 2 locals who have their name & reputation to uphold & how difficult, expensive & how much red tape their is to stating up a business. Enjoying it so far. Recommended.

Great idea, great projects, all let down by filming it like it's "The Office", but unfortunately an unfunny version.

Obviously these programs are heavily scripted or at least contrived, that's how TV works, but this would have been far more enjoyable if it was natural. I can believe it if Clarkson's farm faces financial doom, but this show just looks like a tax write off, I just don't care that a multimillionaire can't make a profit fixing chipped paint on another multimillionaires Lambo.

Just show us fixing the cars up and anything fun that may come from it, or get another writer.

This whole endeavour was a TV show idea and not a garage. I hope the team of mechanics know they're on their own when the show ends.

I didn't know what to expect, hoped it would not be another "fake drama, look, its RH doing stupid things making a prat of himslef again" type show.

It is not that at all! He has teamed up with a couple of very down to earth and extremely talented people and put their careers and his own money on the line.

It's well filmed, well scripted, seems very genuine and thoroughly enjoyable to watch.

RH is doing the right thing by his team and starting a business in a very competitive arena. It's a fascinating insight.

Fair play to him and the guys, it's a great show and I really look forward to every episode.

I hope the business succeeds and the show continues.

It's interesting, the rates show appreciation but the first written reviews are negative.. Of course the way 'the internet' works is mainly negativity based. Always easier to burn something down.. But to counterbalance that I think this show deserves a lot more positivity. The father and son team are an excellent choice for Richard's endeavour and if you are into cars, restoring them and the (entertaining, not too serious) business side of that, this show is definitely worth your watch. To me it invokes a lot of sympathy which keeps me watching.

I only watched 20 minutes of the first episode and decide to have a cup of tea. I didn't bother watching the rest of it I then watched the next 2 in a row now that there starting to work on cars it is becoming more enjoyable. Hammond just does not have the same class of dry wit that Clarkson and May have but I like it with less over the top drama. Just waiting on the first £5000 windscreen drop that most car shows have.
