I've been a loyal Scrappy fan for years but sadly can hardly watch the new series featuring "Dicks Diamonds". The only apropriate part of that name is the first. My main objection is Dicks constant rambling, particularly in the early parts of the show when he responds to the challengers with snide bragging comments such as, and I quote: "Be afraid, be very afraid". I mean get some class man, or at lest come up with something original. The second and most erksome objection I have is the fact that the challengers (mostly genuine and respectable tinkerers) have to put their machines through trials almost to the point of destruction and once they are virtualy spent "Dicks" so called "Diamonds" come on fresh from the side lines and take part in what seems by comparison a "token" event at the end which just seems un-fair and un-sportsman like.</p> I could’t agree more, however I feel the previous postings are far too kind.

Dicks Dimonds and the new format has ruined which was once the best show on TV. I spend my time watching the re-runs of the old show during the week. What will it take to atleast bring back the old format and get rid of Dicks Dimonds, PLEASE!!!!</p> I must agree with everyone on this.

Can't watch it. Too much inane talking - they need someone to give them a decent script. It used to have a touch of camp about it, but now it is just tedious and boringly blokey.</p> Rubbish now.
