What makes the UK version, is the three presenters and their mix of personalities, lively intelligence, sarcasm and experience. The Australian version was always going to sink or swim on the same basis. It was only a 5/10 for me and I did find the 'small' guy very loud and just not funny. Still I seem to recall that James May was a late addition to the UK cast. The test track is for go karts and will have to change as it is central to the success of every show. The other thing about the UK version is the stunning camera work and locations. Our guys tried hard on that front but have a long way to go. A couple more episodes will tell...
