Idle Banter For non SV and non bike related chat (and the odd bit of humour - but if any post isn't suitable it'll get deleted real quick). There's also a "U" rating so please respect this. Newbies can also say "hello" here too. |

Until last night, I used to enjoy 5th Gear.... It was a little bit different to Top Gear, with more realistic aspirational cars, and Jason Plato was a pretty good presenter.
Last night I decided to delete the series link from Sky+ planner after 20 minutes, but I tortured myself to the end just in case things improved. I think the low point came at the time that Tim Lovejoy (who I'd never heard of until yesterday) announced 'a new feature called 'Wreck my Ride''. Feature? WTF? Feature my hairy white behind. Top Gear's poor, deluded, village idiot relation now I'm afraid. All right, so TG is often totally unbelievable and the cars aren't ones I will ever be able to afford... but at least it's entertaining. |

Have to agree with the majority.
They are trying to be something and trying too hard. One person that hasn't been mentioned and who I think done a real good job as a presenter - Jason Plato. What has happened to him. I felt he was good at driving the cars and giving an informative review. Tiff, as good as he is, is only good for sideways action. I will continue to watch it but will FF through the dull bits, if has been recorded. |

FG is so God-awful it's not even funny.
The only decent thing they've ever done was to race a 999 against a Lambo, and they even managed to make that quite pedestrian and dull. The presenters all look like they're on valium and sound like they've swallowed an autocue. I gave up watching last night after just a few minutes, couldn't take any more of VBH's cheesy grins and "look at me, I'm a girl who can drive cars fast, aren't I clever?" attitude. And who's the new guy? It looks like they've poached him straight from Jackanory or something. [/rant] Sorry... |

It's a poor imitation of TG...
and the presenters (bar Tiff and Vicks), are a complete waste of time... Although, even Tiff gets on my wick now, he's so up his own ar$e... Roll on TG
