Used to watch it as a kid in the early 70s I can't remember the balding geeky guys name. I'm unsure it would have the same impact today as back then when technology had more of novelty wow factor.

Wonder if they'll use similar opening title sequence with the original jazzy theme tune? Used to love that.

Raymond Baxter... remember him commentating (knowledgably) on motorsport. And the Farnborough airshow etc.
And didn't he present the Top Gear forerunner - Wheelbase?

Raymond Baxter was a WW2 fighter pilot and flew Spitfires
