    Ian comes across as a most unassuming chap - almost unaware of the fact that he's a bit of a design icon.
    Also, congrats Jonny - this is a perfect start to the rebranding of the channel. I thoroughly enjoyed that natter 😁

      @@kidShibuya jeez man, clearly that was a joke and was obviously a setup - Jonny brings in an ugly chair so that the designer can poo poo it and bring out the design icon chair... It had a bit of clunk to it I'll grant you, and clearly Callum is a better designer than he is an actor, but it was meant as a bit of homour. 🙄

      Exactly, it's over designed compared to their simpler but charming late 80s to early 2000's designs. It's not as bad as the latest Honda Civic though, that thing it's painfully over designed. (mandatory the Z8 is a timeless design masterpiece and I wish more BMWs were like it)

    Great interview, Ian is probably the most spot on designer that I can agree with. I didn’t realise so many of my favourite designs were his. At a very you age seeing the rs200 racing at Lydden hill is a very found memory.
    I can also relate to his view of the handling of fords, only lotus have given me a similar feeling. My ex’s fiesta was so “just right”. Even a focus estate diesel drove nice.
    I hope he gets back to mainstream cars one day so his art can been seen in the flesh by millions of people again.

    The Disco5 number plate is like an ox-bow lake of car design. It was originally offset, and the window was stepped, to make space for the spare wheel that used to be on the back. Then the Disco 3/4 did away with the spare wheel but left the graphical shapes in place, and now the 5 has it left over just as a vestigial reference to what was there before. They need to either make it stronger/more harmonious with what's immediately around it, or go totally straight and move on altogether.

    As a proud owner of a 1998 1.7L Ford Puma, i didn't know this man was involved in the desing. I love the car, it looks fantastic even in this days. The only flaw i will mention is the wheel desing (in the models from 1997 to 2000?) with the "boat propeller" type. Fortunately i found a cheap set of the 2000-2002 model, wich have a more conventinal desing.

    The 'new' Jaguar XF Hush advert of 2008 is what really made me sit up and pay attention. Cutting edge design that helped Jaguar stay afloat. There were nice cars about - but nothing like the XF. It took me a few years, but I got a 3.0 Portfolio Sport in Ultimate Black with the volan alloys. I loved that car - but an unfortunate pot hole put and end to my ownership. Have to say though - I've had two X260s since then - one the 3.0D XFS, now currently a 3.0 supercharged XFS. I love it. Thank you Ian, not only does the car look great, but it handles like it was on rails.

I was actually going to message you with the suggestion as the name would be right up channel 5's programming strategy - name first program second.

    My first car was a 1979 Triumph Spitfire I bought in 1990 while in high school, which got hit - in my driveway - by a drunk driver the same night I rolled it out of the garage to replace the clutch. I never got to drive it. When he said his first car was a wrecked Spitfire he bought to build...I had a bit of a moment. ❤️🚗

    BMWs now, unfortunately, look like bucktoothed hillbillies. Not a fan.

    Cracking video, thoroughly enjoyed that! Naughty Porter, expertly handled response 😂
    Another +1 for podcast version if you do more in this style. Would love to see more of these - more Designers (Julian T?) and other roles alike - perhaps some vehicle sign-off Chief's that have a story to tell?

    Fixated on the rear quarter of the roof line and door pillar on the rod. Sublime.

    Great interview, loved Ian's reaction to some of the questions that he clearly was not expecting. Didn't know that it's his brother working for Ford design now, some mega talent in that family.

      Do you happen to know anything about his brother? I was at art school in the late 1970's with a Scottish guy studying industrial design and who then went on to the prestigious car design course at the Royal College of Art. Unfortunately I can't remember his name, but do remember he was car mad and the rest of us wondered how he managed to afford a new MGB V8 as a student - just wondered if he could be Ian Callum's brother?

    I'm only half way through as I write this but I'm loving this interview. You obviously respect each other. The cut aways to all the cars is perfect, though I have to keep pausing the playback to have a proper look. Well done Jonny

    There I am, watching this show, and my car history is (for now) a Nissan Micra and a Dacia Sandero Stepway…
    I feel so dirty… and ashamed.
    I promise to all car perverts that my next car won't be as bad.

      Most of us don't have cars that we really want, for most it's whatever we can afford and whatever is available at the time. Don't be feeling dirty about it.

      @@terryatkinson899 Thanks for your reply, but I'm afraid I bought the Sandero brand new… I think I need to work on my taste, and trust myself to buy used cars.

      @@KubrickFR nothing wrong with the Dacia if it gets the job done. I have a boring kia pro ceed diesel and 2 worthless fiat cinquecentos which are great to drive and have more character than stuff costing thousands more and I can tinker away with them on a shoestring budget... happy days
