It was excellent, with some nicw shots of Old Warden'd lovelies.

Also, Scrapheap Challenge just before it was very good - build and fly an aeroplane in 20 hours. The US team built a replica of something pre WW1 which eventually got airborn - just. The French bult a Bleriot which did some lengthy hops. The Brits built a lightwieght biplane which flew circuits of the strip at a couple of hundred feet from its first flight. Magic!

And on Top Gear Tom Cassells showed how silly fast cars are by peeing all over one in his Cap. He beat it around the circuit despite flying a greater distance, clinbing and diving a few thousand feet, and threw in some aeros to boot. The supercar crawled around its 2-demensional world and was approaching the line when Tom zoomed down inverted and flashed past.

Car? Pah!
