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. 🙄

So glad you changed the channel name, it was definitely holding back it's potential. Great way to start anew, Ian is a legend. Wish you all the sucess for the future.

It wasn't. His channel grew bigger than most other channels in the same time and the new name is overly long and clumsy.

Feeling quite pleased with myself for having both an Eames Chair 670 and an XF Sportbrake. It’s nice to have your taste backed up by a design legend!

He's spot on about BMW design these days. It's just too much. BMW are supposed to be understated,clean and sinister. Now they just look like monsters designed on acid.

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)

Wow! I have to be honest, I had never heard of Ian but watching this I discovered that he is responsible for most of the cars I’ve ever loved. What an incredible man!

I just want to mention the Rover 75. The more I look at it the better it gets. I honestly think it's one of the best looking cars ever launched. It may not have been the right styling theme for its era and it may have very quickly got the 'old man' image, but it's gorgeous.

Absolutely agree. I had. 2.0 V6 back in the day, lovely thing to drive. Didn’t do helmsmithery, far too undignified, but great for long distances, super civilised cabin, engine sounded great when I ragged it and the amount of people who said they loved my Jag 😂

What a privilege to be able to listen to Ian talk about his career and love for cars and design. Really was a pleasure to watch. Top quality interview Jonny 👍🏻

I've read many interviews with him over the years but this exceeded all of them! Chapeau!

Excellent conversation/interview. I love the present, it's great to see Ian getting surprised at various points so well done on you for making this interesting not just for us but for him as well.

What a great interview and hopefully even bigger sign of the things to come Jonny!

What an excellent new beginning to the channel Jonny. I could watch this format all day every day. Really looking forward to more!! Best wishes from Ireland.

Great interview, Ian has been my boss a few times, he is one of the best designers in the world........and i have been lucky to work for him, at Jag & TWR.

Excellent viewing during my lunch hour. What a genuinely nice chap Ian is, and very interesting too. Thanks Jonny.

What a start Jonny!! An amazing couple of videos with awesome questions and great, proper car nerd content. Also, Sniff’s cameo was really funny. Keep the great work on!!

Loved this chat, nerding out over car design with a living legend . Can’t wait for part 2..

Just watched this. Enjoyed that. Great interview Jonny. Looking forward to watching part 2

I could sit around listening to you two chat all day! Thanks!

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

Absolutely loved this, made me smile all the way through. Thanks for the effort Jonny.

Good work Jonny, interesting informative chat , nice to see real friendship in an interview, so different from some of the chats I have seen Ian Callum involved in...

Fascinating review. Love the fast paced questions and fluid nature of the conversation.

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.

I love that sound effect of the tyres skidding as you say 'Late Brake Show'.. haha.. perfect timing

Really relaxed interview which really brought a great insight into Ian’s thinking. Excellent!

Jonny ...outstanding chat and video with Ian pts1 and 2. Really enjoyed them. I hope your channel goes from strength to strength 👍

Love it. Ian's a living legend. Brilliant video Jonny 👍

Brilliant work Jonny....very high quality....love it

Jonny these videos are brilliant, really well done, could watch Mr Callum all day long

Really enjoyed this chat . Laid back and relaxed . Well done . I think you were right to go on your own . Looking forward to more like this

Brilliant opening episode chap. A really engaging, interesting interview. And what a sound friendly open chap he seems to be, Nice job.

An absolute joy to watch.

I had the pleasure of a conversation with Ian 8/9 years ago ...when we spoke about his occupation he just said he did some work for Jaguar, and I had no idea who he was until something twigged after our conversation and I looked him up. Such an incredibly nice person and very humble considering his absolute genius.

Chair snobbery from the off, love it lol !!

I'm so happy they called him back to work with the Vanquish V12 again, that car has an absolutely timeless beauty, you could release it today and nobody would thought it was a 2001 car by looking at it, I think it will look ahead of it's time forever.

Great interview Jonny. Loved every minute. It was relaxed, Ian was very candid about his design career and love of cars, you asked some interesting questions and there was great banter between the pair of you, which you can only really do if you’re mates. Brilliant start to the revamped channel. Right, now for part 2.

Jip, Johnny......spot on! Really nice show!

Great stuff, what a nice bloke. Agree with Ian about the XKR convertible, such a beautiful car

That XJC is lovely.... thanks for keeping it looking so good😊

I'm a little late to this new show, but Mr Callum Is such a nice chap, I'm really enjoying his views and your questions ..

Great show Johnny. Fascinating chap. I did think you were heading to the tip in Bourne at the start!

Great interview, Jonny. I was lucky enough to meet Ian very briefly a few years ago. He was a real gent and I was in proper fanboy mode. Told him about my appreciation for the Escort Cos and he shook my hand. Shame I didn't know he had a Sierra Cos as I would have hounded him for another 5 minutes to sign the one in my garage 😊

Jonny, congrats from Australia on the “evolution “ of you, your “spiritual you” and one of the best KZread car channels, always enjoyed your passion for motoring, innovation and communication... onward and upward

If this is the standard then bring it on !! Awesome interview with great chemistry. Nice one fella.

"still a dream car for so many people" thank you for adding that Jonny. I was a little worried about watching this, worried that Ian would criticise those of us who wish to have Astons. I can still dream.

Absolutely brilliant!...thank you Jonny!

Loving this new show format!

Great interview. Seems like a really passionate, down to earth car guy (although who knew he’d be such a seat snob with your choice of studio furniture!). Has designed some of the most beautiful cars and hopefully will continue to do so.

I love the prize giving ceremony! Would love to see this be a regular feature when you do interviews.

Great video, revisiting this one again, seem to recall that Ian got some inspiration from Andy Saunders Custom Bentley at the time, love that '32...

Beautiful flow in his interview with Ian, I admire that he would not sit in my crappy chair👍

Johnny looking forward o the next one - Fab !!!!!!!!!

I really loved this, could have listened to this for many hours longer than it was.

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.

Great interview! A true master of his craft! Actually both of these two are...

Great first episode Jonny, really enjoyable easy-going vibe throughout

Great interview, good to hear that it all started with proper car enthusiasm and personal projects that are still enjoyed to this day. PS. Estate cars, pretty much without exception, always look better than their saloon counterparts. That '57 Chevy should have been a Nomad.... ;-)

Brilliant video. Great guy with no airs and graces, really enjoyed this insight.

Great interview. Always loved the steering wheel in my old Orion, know I now why it was “just so” :)

Really impressive start to the new channel - Onwards and upwards

You are great jhonny,! So cool. Really enjoy your videos

What a lovely chap. He has done well that's for sure.

Absolutely brilliant, off to a great start on the “new channel “

Thanks Jonny, enjoyed that 👍

You've totally hit the spot here, a great interview.Enjoyed your almost confrontational questions, very refreshing. Very glad Mr Porter was included too. Thanks.

Designer of the db7 and vanquish, eternal respect!

Loved this interview. The 75 ZT-T estate is a handsome car and with the Mustang engine is a wonderful machine.

Ian Callum is my favourite ever car designer. So many iconic cars he's designed. The best one for me is the Jaguar CX-75 😍

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?

as a first guest on your 'new' YTC couldn't have done better Mr Callum is an iconic figure

Great start to the new brand, glad to see it hasn't changed you, Mr. Smith! The comments on the Bangle BMWs got me wondering again about something I think I might have imagined, might have not: was Bangle playing with numbers with his BMWs, namely with the styling of the headlights? The side view of the 7-Series left hand headlight is a clear 7. The view of the right headlight on the 5... is a kind of a squished 5. The 3 and the 1 you can kind of see from the front, lying on their sides... Maybe I'm imagining it, but I thought, if anyone was going to recognise what I think I recognised, it would be you (and Ian Callum, of course).

I doubt very much if Ian will read the comments but back in 1994 I did work experience with you, Bart and the gang at the TWR studio in Kidlington. It was a great learning experience. Thanks 🙏🏻

This was a fantastic interview. Thoroughly enjoyed!

Big congrats that is amazing start new channel . I learned to drive a Ford Sierra Cosworth in 2000, but I still understood what kind of car it was. Because at that time people didn't like Ford and Volvo very much, they preferred German cars.

The most talented car designer on the planet today ... Ian Callum's designs are always supremely elegent and just seem to stand the test of time so well, which is really the hallmark of good asthetic design.

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

Another great interview🙌🏼

Enjoyed that chat,good work Jonny

I love how he finds the value even in ordinary cars, after a long life of designing exclusive ones, and his rod is just perfect as it is now, all the right stuff done to it, and nothing more then that...

Rover 75! I was working at Cowley when the 75 came out and can remember the first Tourer coming off the line. Strange really as i owned and still do, one of the last Rover 400 tourer's. Have met Mr Callum, as we live close to each other, nice guy.

Very nice Jonny. It's obvious you get on together and thus you get more out of lan than most would. Although l'm not sure about the chairs! I would loved to have had the same chance encounter. I do have a habit of getting information out of people that wouldn't normally be forthcoming. Look forward to part deux !

Some brilliant questions/discussion points, my favorite of which has to be "last car you crashed?". Purely just for Ian's reactions haha

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?

This man also designed the wonderful Viggen body kit for the Saab 9³. And for that thanks you sir!.
