Kevin McCloud’s Classic Car Road Trips; Crystal Lake

“Kevin McCloud looked like the cat who had just won a lifetime’s supply of finest-quality clotted cream, and who could blame him. He was driving through the magnificent French Riviera. The sky was blue, the sun was beating down, the roof was off, and he was basking in the admiration of fellow drivers. ‘Exceptionelle!’ shouted one van man, which makes a change from the usual things that van men shout. The car in question was a convertible Citroen DS, which was once named as the most beautiful car of the 20th century. ‘It really feels as if you’re driving a piece of sculpture around,’ Kevin said. Kevin McCloud’s Classic Car Road Trips was a bit like Top Gear presented by Brian Sewell, the art critic.”

“Gory? Oh yes — gleefully, sometimes revoltingly so. Less slasher, more splatter, and in the old-fashioned props and prosthetics way. A moment in episode one when someone ends up with what amounts to a big bag of blood bursting over their face made this critic both groan and laugh in sheer revulsion.”
