First thought - surely that’s not Billy Bragg playing that slide guitar? After Googling - it’s not, it’s Greg Leisz. Second thought, as I watched - oh, he’s in it… and him - and blimey, him too…

I hope they all went to the pub afterwards.

All blokes musicians or something? I recognized only comedian Ross Noble.

Yeah, that’s a pretty good overview and he presented it in a very digestible way. He’s very good; in the post-Top Gear era, he gives me hope for car TV.

But yes, that’s why EVs are so fast…and so boring.
