A friend of mine was the cameraman on this. Anyone want me to slap him for them?

Glad it wasnt just me then, I thought it was rubbish! I normally watch Top Gear and its a shame when its over, but I was clock watching through the whole program - total dross

Who IS Tim Lovejoy ffs?

Fifth gear has never been brilliant, but has always served up what top gear didnt. Normal cars, runabouts, etc, but last night it just seemed ameturish. You have a couple of good presenters, VBH and Tiff, and the grey haired bloke is ok, if slightly dull, hes also on the Gadget show.

I know that top gear is far from ground breaking, but at least, well compared to Fifth gear, is entertaining. I'll stil watch it though

I agree, they should stop trying to copy Top Gear and do something original...

Again, totally agree, they are trying to be like top gear, and that isn't the way to go to get new audience.

Real let down last night. Car Vs Plane was awful (anyone note how Lydden seems to change corners (turn 1, to turn 4, turn 3, turn 1 again

). Complete waste of time.

Audio challange, tbh, i've met that big boofond guy, he done a TV interview on my other half at a car show about modified cars, got aired and everything, but he was a total bell end, couldn't understand at all why people done cars (even though hes in the middle of Silverstones 2nd largest event after the GP, Trax Show (modified cars, 1000's of them)). He was really arrogent like he knew it all, but he really doesn't know anything. Take that car, i mean, THAT kinda music at a Cream event......

Really gonna draw a crowd.....

However, that VW Golf, I WANT A GO.... How much fun did that look, being thrown all over the place, by a car driving itself. Well impressed, where can I buy one? They should make a rollercoaster/race track ride from that thing, load it up with people, off you go, weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I get a sense that you dont like car programmes?

Like cars.............guess thats why I hate Top Gear!
Previous series of Fifth Gear have been quite enjoyable. Shame that they are apparently getting on the same inane bandwagon as the Clarkson Show.......I mean Top Gear.
I appreciate people like Top Gear, but as Al Murray would say, "They are wrong"

I rarely, if ever, spend more than a couple of minutes watching 5th Gear nefore I get bored and start channel hopping - though Sky One's attempt, Vroom Vroom has at least been entertaining.
Not the most informative of serious motor shows, more like a cross between Top Gear and Brainiac - but entertaining fun nevertheless.
