I was really, really, really hoping he'd end up with a front puncture. I wonder how many takes they had to do!
At least now we know where to find Alan Davies on a Monday if we need to.

I don't think that would be a bad idea, personally I think you have a very balanced approach to commuting with a camera. So many youtubers use it as a tool to point out that quality of driving is poor. You seem to point out that while driving quality can indeed be improved so can the manner in which many people approach cycling.
I have upmost respect for this approach as you could have been setting yourself up as a hate figure in the cycling community in proportions usually reserved for discussions about Lance Pharmstrong and Hemet debates.
I feel I am a better cyclist from watching some of your videos as they make me think expecially when in similar situations on the road, some are just plain scarey shoot as well.
Having a commuting section on the show, discussing equipment, how to pack clothes, how to remain safe, reviews of lights and rainproof clothing etc, discussing poor junctions etc could hold a lot of value specially for new commuters.
imho you would be ideal for this as your videos clearly show the challenges commuters face and equally your experiences would be useful to the viewers.

I watched it last night I wasted 30 minutes of my life, I know it is on a very tight budget but I'm sure some of us on here could put on a more interesting show than them.

All they need to do is model the programme around top gear, Get more reviews in, get a top spec bike in and show us how good it is, do it for a road bike, bmx, commuter, then something crazy.
Set some challenges, modd some bikes, make it fun. Find us the smoothes roads and nicest rides in Britton.
Not how to ride on a road, yawn, how to ride with a puncture yawn, and how to yawn on a bike, yawn.

Some hilarious television.
If you recorded last nights (Mon. 6/8/12) just look at the family sitting behind the sofa. I think the two old ladies might be the Cycling Granddad's other halves (only after the old men had been on did they appear behind the sofa. But that bored bloke just staring into space and, probably his son, looking half asleep.

This cycling show is trying to please every cyclist from every discipline and background, which is not possible. I think that having only 30 minutes, the only way they can be successful and useful is by actually focusing on a single discipline, like road cycling/racing, OR mtb, OR bmx, OR commuting... etc. 30 min a week is just not enough for an abstract and generalist show.

Interesting to hear The Cannibals thoughts on race radios, and their effect on the current races. I'm with him.

Here for rides.
I've just deleted the series link from my sky+ planner. Unless I hear it has improved immensely it won't be back.

What with all the cycling on TV/t'interbeeb I've only just caught up with the on demand version. The 2nd and 3rd editions are definitely better than the first one. I noticed that the last edition was 22 minutes. So excluding ads and trailers they don't have a lot of time to waste. Yet they're still managing to. At 22 minutes for a very broad and varied subject, they're always going to be far too superficial for the most of the likes of us. It doesn't help that they seem to be trying to make a virtue of this superficiality.
