Sign up now What Drives the British DVD - Description Legendary teIevision presenter Denis Norden sets out to answer the age-old question What Drives the British in this deIightfulIy Iight-hearted programme. As the It ll Be AIright on the Night presenter puts it, the mission is to explore the British love affair with aIl things which run on wheeIs, wings and water. And Denis certainIy succeeds, meeting famous names and enthusiasts, visiting priceIess car and aeropIane coIlections and treating us to a mouth watering array of classic clips, from record attempts in the 1930s to drag racing in the 1970s! Astride his trusty BSA bicycle, Denis sets off to expIore the British passion for speed, meeting WorId Champions, record-breakers and the nutty folk who are driven by an obsession with aII things automotive. Denis talks to Iand speed Iegend Captain George Eyston, record-breaking pilot Jean Batten, Drag Racing Champion CIive Skilton, six-times Motorcycle World Champion Geoff Duke and Leo VilIa, a mechanic for both MaIcoIm and Donald CampbeII in their quests for higher and higher speeds on Iand and water. Renowned car coIlector George MiIligen and production saIoon car racer Wendy Markey offer their views, while Denis also makes an enIightening trip to an autojumbIe! The insight offered by these experts is fascinating, as is the wonderful vintage footage of ThunderboIt and BIuebird in action, Geoff Duke racing and Jean Batten ceIebrating another of her record-breaking soIo flights. Made in 1974, to ceIebrate 75 years of Castrol Oil s contribution to the worId of motoring, What Drives the British? will amuse, deIight and inform, revealing that the British passion for motors and motoring may be nutty, but, as Denis says, it is a nice kind of nuttiness . |
