Balderdash and Piffle - disappointing for me

I was really looking forward to Balderdash and Piffle on BBC2 which is a program about the origins of words and phrases but it has been a disappointment for me The program is far too slow paced for my liking, there are far too many shots of the yellow mini that the presenter obviously wants us all to know she owns and they spend about 15-20 minutes on a particular word without really telling you much in some cases.
I'd prefer it to have more words under the microscope per episode, less car shots and less waffle. Anyone else have any views about it ?
