Hornby: A Model World

This would have been a complete gem of a program, with details about a fascinating subject and hobby. However it simply isn't.... The key reason for this is because the scripting and the tone taken by the narrator are so condescending and patronising at times that the programme has become almost cringeworthy.

The Disney style music that runs throughout is supposed to add a sense of play and fun ... which it would do if it was not paired with such appalling scripting and narration tone.

The editing is also notably appalling, with throwaway comments that are left int hat make some staff members appear to be almost simpletons.... Which they are not, very clearly.

That said the program does highlight a lot of information about model making that would otherwise be totally unknown. And that's a very good thing.

The footage is superb and has been shot in order to give views that the publisher would otherwise not get.

I'd love to see this program done with a bit more serious intention form the writers and the narrator.
