Richard Hammond, bless him, tried hard. He tried hard to take a high-tech look at the world around us. Richard was tall enough.
Director Gavin Maxwell however, did not have the stature to reach even the mediocre.
High-speed cameras, close ups and slow motion work should be the silk purse of subjects. Gavin Maxwell turned this into a pigs-ear of ugly proportions. The pig should have been deaf.
Shame is too good for a director who trashes the time, care, patience and expense of the supporting creators of this programme.
There was one noise amid the general cacophony that actually hurt.
In a better world it would have been less audible.
