That was nice, gentle entertainment. I always wonder if programmes like this give people a poor idea of what's really involved in restoring a car (time, effort and money wise).
For straight out entertainment I always liked Roadkill and Roadkill Garage. It's all about big American cars (mostly) but they have no pretensions on doing things right at all. They just do things that are fun with no fake drama. Usually involving old US muscle cars and trucks and ridiculously huge engines. Used to be on YouTube but unfortunately went paid view only. Some are still available online though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVs_xZ46...ex=14&t=0s I like how the capacity of one cylinder in a big block engine is more than our entire 750cc engines.
Another that is zero drama and just pure information is Stephan Papadakis on his channel. He is famous in the US modified car scene and really knows his stuff. He now builds really top end drift cars (over 1000HP). But his films are really to the point and interesting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJCB49QXoS8 In that film he strips down a 2JZ.
All very far removed from vintage stuff of course but entertaining none the less.
