Electrifying our History
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Well said K2-K6 I agree with your comments I would add the following.
Back in the late 1960's I remember watching Spanish TV when on holiday - it seemed to be game shows and drivel plus some nudity.
Now here in the UK we have lowered the bar so low we even make programmes out of people sat on a sofa watching TV.
Call me old fashioned but if its Drama what's wrong with having a script with plasusable actors plying their trade - acting.
I do not want to watch so called reality TV with Trout Pout women & pumped up Charles Atlas Men uttering drivel.
Most of the TV we watch in the winter evenings is stuff filmed 20 years ago - current TV seems to be catering for a population that has an attention span measured in nano seconds with the comprehension ability needing Amoeba sized brains.
Henry Cole towers above the norm imho even if he can be patronising & irritating to watch - at least bikers are getting a better press now. We can even cater for the foodies with Hairy Bikers. ;D ;D ;D

Yes, he's done a good job of getting airtime for bikes and other interesting stuff. Just think, before him we had OCC.
heli_madken:
I love the programme and watch it avidly, dont really mind Henry. The only thing I would say (and I know each to their own etc) is I dont get his fascination with British bikes of the 60's and 70's era.
He is 5 years younger than me and my recollection of youth and especially into the 80's British bikes were just completely uncool, personally would not have been seen dead on one. So I cant understand why he waxes lyrical about riding them in his youth at all as he would only have been a teenager in the early 80's.
Arch stanton:
Everything thing he does. Is completely scripted & staged.
I clearly remember one episode. Where Glen English rode a MV triple.
And Henry cole says. This MV is identical to the bike ridden by 13 times world champion Gianfranco Agostini!
It could only either Giacomo Agostini or his team mate Gianfranco Bonera.
Very poor. The bloke is a Buffoon.

No he’s not, yes he is, oh no he’s not. He’s behind you…..
