...University of Florida, are scheduled to review the experimental-car contestants on something called "costs to the consumer." The bemused car owner finds Paisley and Nattress hard at work on the line evaluating a front-wheel-drive, hydrogen-powered, hydraulic-assisted entry from the University of Wisconsin's Stout campus. Even with some donated parts, the exotic power plant modestly housed in a blue Dodge Omni body cost $25,000 in cash. Student Steve Mann insists that the car would be "as cheap as or cheaper" than any current production model to massproduce. Mann is young and tousle-headed...

He leaned over, put an arm around the much smaller You, and offered some words of encouragement, along with a brotherly poke in the ribs. The lean coxswain looked up, and in silence, there was a clear understanding that this brotherhood was appreciated. The close-knit family was at hand to help one another...
...CAST IS uniformly superb and convincingly British. Redford looks like he arrived straight from a rugby match at Wembley Stadium, while Hunt, his face set in an eternal mischievous grin, could be in Eton taunting the protagonist of The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner. Stout and full-faced, Clemenson is the show's most consistently hysterics-inducing actor...
