I enjoyed the cars but as for the rest of the program, I thought it was a bit of a farce (and hence fun to watch
). I found it incredibly difficult to find sympathy with anybody on the show - the residents or the guy who got his Lambo towed away (and that comes from someone who had something similar happen to me when I parked in the wrong place going to see Leicester at Stamford Bridge!).
I guess it's that old case of the 'old money' in London trying to teach the wealthy 'foreigners' good English manners. Whether they be Russian, Arabs, Chinese, Indians, Greeks (did I say Greeks!
) it never stops the old money trying it on does it? But look any of those 'foreigners' in the eye and ask them whether they give a monkeys what the old money thinks and I think you know the answer.
Can't knock C4 though - good bit of banter and fun to watch. I have seen a lot worse on telly and C4 didn't exactly form an opinion on the subject - rather leave you to do that all for yourself, which is the way it should be. I thought it could quite easily have come across as NIMBY bashing as well as bashing wealthy 'foreigners' depending on which way you saw it.
I would imagine the guy from Cumbria who worked in the kebab shop saw all parties (residents and petrolheads) as poncy rich bar stewards!
