I think that the over-riding aspect of this series is that it is designed for the mass-market, both in terms of the Hornby promotion and the producers aims.  
No doubt genuine enthusiasts of all the brands featured will find it uncomfortable viewing.

Yeah that is the same sentiment about car shows particularly ones where cars are repaired and sold by most mechanics.
Personally I simply accept things for what they are and don't worry about the what they could have/should have done. I have learned a thing or two from Wheeler Dealers and Flipping Bangers and their ilk. One type of show I find brain cell killing are these pure auction shows. Whenever I have watched them 90% of the cars are not sold for what the people claim they are worth. The only reason I would watch an episode is if it is about a car I am interested in for the history.

Even though trains are not a major interest of mine I like seeing how the company is working.
