Shed & Buried: Classic Cars
Discussion
The S&B format of "buying" stuff, in this case a car each episode, from someone who has a load of them, spending some time and a few ££ then making a "profit"
Think a poor version of Brewer with cups of tea.
HC is more ridiculous than ever, Fuzz from SOS is so gushing about everything it's embarrassing, the programme saved as best as he can by Allen Millyard and to a lesser extent Skid.
"Profits" take no account of folk coming in to sign write stuff or chrome plate stuff and some of the descriptions are b
ks. ie a Hot Rod built on a Ford Pop chassis, the car is a 1955 but the seller says a 100E chassis. 100E Fords were unitary construction.
I watch it purely for the Millyard bits.

I’m still unsure whether Henry is a real person or a Charlie Higson character
Well, he's got a World Land Speed Record... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Cole_(presente...Red9zero said:
He has had a bit of a life that's for sure !
Blakes Kitchen which often features in the test rides / drives is worth a visit too.
I watched an episode of his World's Greatest Motorcycle Rides where he went back to Sarajevo where he had worked during the conflict and he was welling up. Blakes Kitchen which often features in the test rides / drives is worth a visit too.
But I watch whatever he puts together as it is generally easy to watch and has some sort of petrolhead aspect.
“Henry is a twit”, but he does seem to surround himself with likable people, who we probably wouldn’t get the opportunity to see otherwise.
The ‘Motorbike Show’ ‘Shed & Buried’ amongst other productions are produced by HCA, a production company owned by Henry Cole, which I guess he then sells to TV companies.
We know he’s a bit posh, while trying to be one of the lads, always churning out the same cliché phrases; that’s his style, even if it comes across as a bit fake.
“Henry is a twit” but the world is a better place, because of twits like him.

Henry is doing a theatre tour this year compered by Steve Parrish, "The Henry Cole Tour " . One of those ' an evening with ' life story type of things.
We went to the one in Southend on sea. Thoroughly enjoyed it, the wife did too. I didn't see any empty seats in the theatre.
Henry was happy to meet & greet etc after the show. He had conversations with everyone, not just a quick picture or signature. Despite having to drive back to Oxfordshire afterwards, he made it clear that he would stay until he had seen everyone who was waiting.
Not as over the top as his TV persona. Great stories of his early life. Seemed to genuinely appreciate the audience turning up.
ps. This year's 'The Motorbike Show' will be on the web rather than ITV4 as they have spent their budget on MotoGP highlights. 'TMS' should return to terrestrial TV next year.

He's so much better on Greatest Motorcycle Rides before he became a parody of himself.
Eton educated I believe and now he's misusing words and deliberately dropping Ts and Gs.
Then there's the slurping of the tea while he's still talking and the awful prat falls.
Miily, mate, right, Milly yeah, right, Milly, discombulate, Milly, as they say in the trade, Miily.
I could write his script.
With apologies to the idiot on here who told me I couldn't criticise an actress because she earned more than me. I'm sure HC earns more than me too.

I'd agree he was better before becoming a parody. Jeeves & Wooster I always liken them too with Skid, Milliyard or Fuzz bailing him out etc.Eton educated I believe and now he's misusing words and deliberately dropping Ts and Gs.

I'd agree with that.on S&B, Fuzz seems uncomfortable, I can no longer take him seriously on SOS. Skid Willison gets the odd dig in at HC which is good but Allen Millyard looks uncomfortable at times too. Millyard needs a TV series of his own, not just a youtube on.

Fuzz isn't a good fit on S&B. The others seem like genuine mates and Fuzz seems to be a bit of an outsider they had to find a job for. Allen is a genius, but I think he is still a bit nervous in front of the camera. he is the same on his own Youtube channel.on S&B, Fuzz seems uncomfortable, I can no longer take him seriously on SOS.

Can't disagree with that, virtually what I said.Skyedriver said:
