Watched the first half but but turned over to see University Challenge.

VBH is okay as eye-candy (but is no Suzi Perry!), but there was a distinct lack of zap given it is the first of a new series

.....I thought it might just be me, but apparently we are of one mind here. Absolute waste of electricity.........

I agree it was pretty poor

i used to like VBH but shes lost too much weight and looks a little gaunt now, mmnnn Suzi Perry

Only caught the last 20 minutes, that guy doing the DJing annoys the cr@p out of me.

Roll on Top Gear I say (& speedy recovery for the Hamster).

).

He was one of he better ones

Nothing wrong with VBH
But the guy that had to repeat everything she said in the dinner what is the point of him?
And the guy driving the robotic golf, I think the golf had more personality. I have series linked it on Sky +, but really can't wait for Top Gear.

Come on Hamster get your **** out of bed you lazy git!

Yeah what was that all about tonight. The show just didnt come together. It all seemed over scripted. A story about a digger squashing a car - WTF?? The plane racing the evo - WTF?? The radio control thing was cool - although you couldnt actually see any of the race action - and then she runs it over at the end - WTF??. It just didnt flow and I cant remember a thing about the cars other than the makes.

Car v plane on a track - I think TG covered that quite adequatley with Clarkson in a Lotus v Apache, wait that sounds a helluva lot more exciting
Tiff N'dell (who is good) didn't even sell the Evo very much just was happy to roll over and give in to a jumped up crop sprayer.

Crushing a car - if it was worth more than £300 or the guy didn't actually own it, now that might have been funny

Missed the first half but they had remote ctrl car racing? Didn't TG do that with real cars (In a quarry 5 Series v Carlton v Scorpio?)

I saw about 15 mins of it. All I thought was it was a very very poor attempt to copy the current format of Top Gear and missing by a good few miles.
