The Secret Life Of The Motorway
 
Anybody catch this programme? Any good?

I've missed this first two due too Ms LSainsbury having her brain removed and wanting to watch Big 'effin Brother! Last episode tonight...

Just downloading the last episode on BBC IPlayer. Sounds interesting.

Saw the first episode... was surprisingly interesting and compelling.

I never realised that motorways initially had no speed limits on them, and it was only because of the number of crashes and accidents that the government imposed the 70mph speed limit we all endure today.

Just watched both episodes on "Catch Up TV On Demand" so didnt need to download it to iPlayer in the end, I found it quite interesting, set my V+ to record tonight's episode. Didn't realise I was the same age as the Motorway speed limit (41 years not 70 mph;))

I meant to watch that programme, I remember when Mark Thomas did a similar thing where he was finding places and roads that weren't on maps... wish that was online somewhere!

A sadly out of date limit now, cars have progressed just a bit in 41 years, limits sadly have not progressed with them.
