Rozabikes Tim:
Just smiling as I read these Cole posts where we "mostly" share the same dislike of him for similar reasons. But we all watch his shows.....
Sesman:
Thank god I’m not a ‘motorcyclist’ or ‘biker’. I just do it for fun both home and abroad and have been doing so for 45 years. I don’t see the fun in suffering. But that’s just me.
K2-K6:
I feel Henry Cole does a very good job of both bringing these topic to mainstream programming, along with his presentation. Pitcing any program at all to tv scheduled viewing is not easy to accomplish as the only topic they deal with is drama (think about that for a while) everything is just suspense, leading to drama and then denouement, all within 1/2 hour slots neatly packaged between advertising delivery.
Notice how any vehicle in any program/film is used for this ploy of "will it start, won't it start" scenario and most likely to crash in flames in a feature film ? It's just what the dramatist in TV program understand. The vehicle is just drama fodder in their minds.
Without Henry, no one would even see Alan, Sam, Guy etc on any mainstream programming, each of them clever in their own knowledgeable way.
I dont read it as disparaging in any way toward his co presenters, they clearly have a good time with him and with some subtle jokes about his lack of specific knowledge along with short attention span delivered in friendly humour towards Henry.
A very welcome addition to tv programming in my view, instead of the general fodder offered over most channels.
Sesman:
Second that K2-K6.
