Check out my video from the mid-naughties, intended as a pilot for a TV Show
#ThrowBackThursday to my first ever video car review from around 15 years ago.
Why are there no car reviews on TV?
Surely it’s time to once again roll up the sleeves, perch a foot on the bumper and actually REVIEW a car
The Rolls-Royce and Bentley of car review shows on TV are of course The Grand Tour and Top Gear. Except that they’re not. Not anymore.
2018 Mercedes G-Wagon TV Review
Done for the Autocrats TV Show in Dubai
The most recent episode I shot for The Autocrats featured a Mercedes G-Wagon, Enoc and Thanos! Can’t believe we crammed so much into 10 minutes. Well done to the production team.
My Top 3 & Worst 3 at Geneva
The 2019 Geneva Motor Show was a sensational avalanche of extraordinary new cars – here’s my best and worst
2019 London Classic Car Show
My highlights of the classic car extravaganza at the Excel Centre
One of the wonderful things about the show is the chance to meet your heroes: like this Rover SD1 3500 Vitesse, a Bullitt Mustang replica and the 2.8i Ford Capri in black I almost bought once.
Check out video coverage of the event and a full gallery of images!
Are Motor Shows Dead?
What happened to all the new car launches?
I’m staring at the online media page specifically for car journalists. I’m hitting the refresh button every few seconds hoping to see more news stories on the feed. I’m waiting for the deluge of concept car reveal images and new car launch press releases. Two days later I’m still waiting. Perhaps I should log off now?
Shooting for TV
Scorching heat, grueling hours and one fatality. What it takes to film for TV
TV may not have quite the cache it used to, but everyone would still like to be on the small screen if they could. But unlike say, YouTube videos, which can be knocked out on your phone and uploaded minutes later – a bit like my behind-the-scenes VLOG from yesterday below – filming for TV takes a ridiculous amount of effort and work.

I’ve been on the radio for over six years!
Surprised to realise that we’ve been on the radio for over six years
A couple of weeks ago, we did our last ever live radio show for James Piecowye on Dubai Eye 103.8FM for his CarTalk show and Nightline series of programmes.
We also participated in his last ever show in which he invited back many of his other guests, previous guests and former as well as current colleagues.

I’m on TV – presenting a car show!
Delighted to on The Autocrats Middle East TV show now airing on FOX MENA Network channels
Finally made it to mainstream television! I’m honoured to the lead presenter of a new car show on FOX MENA Network TV channels across the region.
It’s one of those filler shows so it gets aired between other shows and as such gets repeated airings. In fact each episode gets over 100 airings. Click next to watch them.
Top Gear Season 24 Episode 1 Review
Don’t say it, don’t say it, don’t say it… oh dear – I’m gonna say, aren’t I?
I just watched the first episode of new, new Top Gear (although that should probably be new, new, new, new, new… for me, since I’ve been watching it from way back when good old William Wollard presented it – who else remembers him?).
Anyway I’m feeling right smug, innit?
