Exactly how a good car show should be
I've enjoyed every episode of this show (so far), and I've watched 'em all (Seasons 1 - 8, plus the first 4 episodes of Season 9). Tim & Fuzz make a great duo - their passion and knowledge are unquestionable. Narrator Phil Cornwell
also deserves a mention - if only for his cracking Mick Jagger impersonations. The quality of work they put out (with the help of a collective of great craftsmen) is spot-on. Yes, there's much silliness (mainly from Tim) but it doesn't detract from from the show's main objective. If I have one complaint, it has to be why they haven't yet done a #3 Cortina. I mean - come on!?!
The Best!
This is without doubt the BEST car show on the telly box!
Fuzz is brilliant and Tim is useless!! and they are a match made in the garage. It's fun and mad but the stories of the cars owners brings some seriousness and emotions to the show. Oh, and the reveals..........Well Tim is such a good actor.........😂😂😂
In 3 weeks...
Good show for car lovers, the where, when, how and at times why of it all is nicely covered. Both lead figures seem to have sufficient knowledge of the subject matter, playing dumb to educate in adequate amounts. The camera time spent on the work at hand is reasonable.
The downsides - and in this they're not alone - is the contrived (timeline) drama. The fact that it's consistently 3 weeks raises suspicion... the back story does not always add up either. Some of the stories as to why the restoration is necessary are quite touching others seem contrived.
The banter is fine, the keeping it original versus making improvement discussion is done when it is applicable.

Easily the most family friendly car show to watch.
I love this show, i started with watching the episodes of the vehicles I liked, then it became my daily nightly binge. Season 6 episode 2 is such a great reminder of why they do this show and how the passion for cars brings people together. Watch and learn
Fun and likeable
I have now watched all the episodes and have enjoyed them all. The two hosts are great and both make the show a joy to watch. There's a genuine pleasure in seeing how pleased and surprised the car owners are at the reveal. Tim and Fuzz both care deeply about the cars and the reason why they are doing the restoration.
I hope they continue for many years to come!!!
