A bit less fawning and a bit more sense from the other side:

Sense from the Guardian and Transport 2000? I suppose if you're
some yoghurt knitting car hating hippie who lives in a treehouse then
perhaps it would seem like sense. To quote from the article you
mentioned: TG apparently "should be replaced by a programme promoting
sensible driving in sensible vehicles". Yeah , that'll really pull the
viewers in. I can just see people lining up to what some pasty faced
humourless "saftey campaigner" showing us how to drive at 29.99mph
down a high street followed by an exciting clip about pedestrian
crossing
ettiquette.

Perhaps we should ban all programs about anything exciting or fast
and live in a dull grey little world run by dreary little men who
wouldn't
know fun if it smacked them in the face. Like you perhaps.
