About the only bloody channel we haven't got! 
I noticed that on Sky catch up I now can't get the History channel any more.

Great show! The King of Kings for their first car, a 1995 Escort RS Cosworth, stunning job. Of note is the additional 3rd wing was an original design but killed by the bean counters (Just like the original 3 door Sierra Cosworth that had 290 BHP from design and de-tuned to 204 BHP by the bean counters ).
The additional wing took the downforce from 69 lbs @ 100 mph to 94 lbs @ 100 mph! Well worth it in those corners
Oh, Ant was Bob on, sorry Edd

Yeah, a fair shout Paul though I suspect as the 3rd wing was an integral part of the design the front end would be designed with that in mind. Not that all of us would notice as we'd be upside down in a ball of flames having long surpassed our talent limit.
No the extra wing also increases the front down force by a small amount according to what Mike & Ant found out at the wind tunnel test.
I've actually just watched this first episode which I recorded on my TiVo. Really enjoyed it, pleased to see the amount of the workshop element was maintained. In fact I thought Ant enhanced the workshop part with his development of the 3rd wing, turbo rebuild & fixing oil leak. Ant's explanations of technical issues were very clear and the masterstroke of getting the designer of the Escort Cossie on the show topped it off for me.

Hi Andy Happy New YearMonday at 9pm on discovery
Enjoy Wheeler Dealers Mick and Ant did a lovely job on the Ford Escort Coswoth.
Looking forward to see what else they do next.
HNY to you too
I think they had to go European and a cult car (most requested WD car ever) due to the loss of Edd. Great start.
