I like him, and I admire the fact he's being paid to do his hobby.
I find him a bit too full on sometimes, I hope he doesn't become a parody of himself or over exposed. If the programme wasn't so much about him and the Vulcan, I would have watched it. One which revolved around the ground crew would have got me watching, there's only so much boyish air gulping exuberance I can tolerate alas.
Still, the majority of the rest are much, much worse! Maybe I'm too cynical.

The programmes he presents nowadays seem to be drifting away from his area of expertise. In a year or two I suspect we'll have "Our Guy at London fashion week" where our plucky and amiable host has a go at dressmaking and a bit of catwalk modelling..."bye ekk"
The Guy Martin walk...
....i think it was much more noticeable in the Latvia film as there were lots of shots of him walking along roads and tracks. I'd guess that gait is more down to his several serious m/c accidents with multiple broken bones than anything else.

I have mixed feelings about him.
Anyone who can get round the TT course at a competitive lap time deserves huge respect but the fact is that in comparison to the likes of John McGuinness, Ian Hutchinson et al, Guy Martin's an also-ran and a regular crasher. He should quit before he has a crash too far.
This film, available in its entirety on YT has a lot of footage of the pre-celeb GM and is in any case an excellent representation of the TT overall.
