I just watched the first part of this 3-part series about Henry Cole's attempt to get a land sped record at Bonneville. First part was great so I looked on the EPG for episode 2. Couldn't find it, so I hit the internet and that tells me the series is only on Discovery+, which I don't have, only Freeview. Odd. So can anyone tell me if the the other two episodes are on Freeview, and if so when please?

TV is such a bloody mess nowadays.

Those are donkeys old programmes repeated occasionally on itv / Quest. Possible thrown in when a sports event finished early?

No idea. I don't have Sky, Netflix or the million other 'channels', just Freeview and Amazon Prime (though that's rarely used).

If a programme is new to me then it's new smile

Pretty daft just showing one episode of a 3-part series though irked

I have been involved with motorcycling for over 50 years but I wouldn’t cross the road to say hello to Henry Cole.

Sorry, not much help now, but I recorded & watched the programmes to their conclusion on freeview over Christmas. I can't honestly remember if there were 2 or 3 episodes . It may have been on ITV4 ? They have The Motorbike Show on at random times.

They eventually had all 3 parts on at xmas, I think on quest.
Tbh while a good watch ,old henry spoils it all a bit with his constant waffle like if you were reading a book wot he wrote.
Going 100 mph on a flat space with nothing to hit for miles in each direction and making out you are a daredevil gets tiresome.
Some deliveroo riders taking more risks weaving through the traffic with his pizza delivery.
