splinter Posted January 18, 2007 Report Posted January 18, 2007 i think there used to be a program on tv that was stockcars at arena essex and i think it was called bangers and smash does any1 know what happened to it? Hello Bangers and Smash was shown and produced by LiveTV. The company went into administration about 8 years ago oweing £7 million The program was really bad, with very bad directing/editing. Awful commentator and sound effects. On the plus side, it showed everything from F1's to Bangers. Sky relaunched LiveTV during 2005 showing 6 year old repeats of Bangers and Smash. Unlikely that it will be shown again. Oh how we miss LWT World of Sport. One of the only TV companies to show oval racing to a high standard on National TV

dangerous damo Posted January 29, 2007 Report Posted January 29, 2007 i remember the program on lwt as a kid called wheels i think. used to show speedway, truck racing and the national hot rod world final weekend. i was there in 1990 bout 15 yards from where the unfortunate accident happened in the salloons when a wheel flew in the crowd and the person died i think. was on daily mirror centre spread. it was then that the high catch fencing was introduced.
