Ant Anstead: Born Mechanic

While I have respect for Ant as an engineer, and author/writer, this series almost falls into the same traps as many motoring programmes. Obviously staged in parts, it can be simplistic in that only certain car faults are shown and a lot of refurbishment work simply isn't shown. Then vehicles are sold at an upmarket auction which may not always be the best solution. The link to renovating a house for his parents (not ideally suited for them given their age?) is novel but again it is simplified. Ant comes across as a bit of a drama queen and impulsive. At least he treats his audience with some respect in terms of their assumed technical knowledge and doesn't constantly repeat the same issues. Nevertheless it could be significantly better, especially if they ditched the inevitable background music..
