It was a great story and interesting to see that even in those times keeping up with change and adapting to new demands and technology is the only way to stay on top of the game.

The last director of the company seemed like a really nice guy too.

Ah well, first of the Aussies next week.

Interesting, the different reactions on this!  I'd have to leave any country where Jeremy Clarkson was PM - and have made a note not to watch his series which is screening here!  I guess we have a number of irreverent people in Australia - though sadly, fewer than before - and they mostly aren't so offputting, to me anyway.

Looking forward to Jack Thompson!

Jeremy Clarkson is fab, he's so irreverent and plain speaking it's a breath of fresh air in this PC watch what you say world....I think he should be PM, he's a far better alternative to that Brown person  ;D

Apart from being dismissive of everyone and anything he is predictable = immediately anti greenie saying it was the death of industrialisation when it was even more technology which finished his ancestor's business off.

People who offer an anti PC opinion are usually VERY PC in their own way

Even his response at the end of the BBC report is arrogant and puerile.  None of this endears him to me!
