i like to give fith gear a chance, being the underdog an all taht. but what hell is wrong with them? tonite they scrapped a 205 no doubt because it was "old" and the owner was a loaded magazine reading, topman wearing curse word. looking closer it was a roland garos 205 with seemingly good bodywork. I'm no fan of pug's but I'm aware that roland garos' is a more desirable 205 and fairly rare in its own right. why on earth do they do this? i kinda get the impression they sit in a board room and think of a list of "things to say and do so it makes us look cool". not only that! last week a bloke in a pink shirt, lisp and bald head and thick rimmed glasses - telling us what is cool and whats not. according to GQ curse word - porsche 911's are definately not cool. ok your wrong GQ T, they are they are cool and they're hella cars. citreon DS is most certainly not cool apparently, as its old. yet a volvo 4x4 is the epitome of cool. and that sideways hair mobile phone salesman that is somehow a presenter, licks is ringpeice and agrees all the way! I'm starting to get annoyed with CH5. sorry for the rant

Cant even bring myself to watch it.
It's horrific.
VBH is not a good presenter, Tim Lovejoy was/is brilliant on Soccer AM, but on 5th Gear he is waaaay out of his depth and openly admits that he's not "into" cars. WTF I want the presenters of my car shows to love there job.
Tom Ford and Tiff Nedell the only saving grace, but not enough to make me want to watch.
BRING BACK PLATO....

Bit of a shambles, VBH/Tiff Needell/Plato are good but the episode I watched the other week was filmed at the Ace Cafe and it was erm, sh|t!

5th Gear will always be Mo Mowlem to Top Gear's Kate Winslet for me Good news on Hamster today though! So the better programme will return soon I hope! I haven't seen 5th Gear for ages, it doesn't appeal to me anymore.

I saw the first 10 minutes, and actually turned it over. I normally would digest almost anything with cars on TV, but this just kept on reminding me of a case of trying too hard to appeal to those who watch top gear. Why don't they just do a Max power type program and at least have something original.....

Seen it Even said to my g/f about the post on here before about the other cars they've destroyed. We were both horrified to see the 205 just cut apart.

I'm keeping it old skool with a mere 4 channels for my viewing pleasure, so I'm thankfully free of all this 5th Gear nonsense. It sounds as if it's as sh*te as ever though!

1. vbh rocks (just not what i wish she would rock on, f'nar) 2. tom ford is the daddy 3. tiff is next in line for daddy status and has mad skillz that TG would kill for jezz to have 4. they have a bloody BTCC champ test driving and presenting. 5. they are on when TG isn't about
How those facts don't add up to everyone born evar with some petrol in their veigns watching the show baffles me. As with anything in britain just blame the management.

1. vbh rocks (just not what i wish she would rock on, f'nar) As someone else said: VBH...Rik Mayall...Ever see them in the same place? He's suited to writing...not presenting. TG don't want JC to have skills...He never says he does and always admits he's a decidedly average driver. All Tiff does is goo 'WOOO! SIDEWAYS!' and er...that's about it. A BTCC champ that lacks basic communications skills and who appears to be the antithesis of an interesting and approachable person. Because they know they would get about five people watching. The same five people that write in to Points Of View each week about Top Gear saying that it's inappropriate for them to portray caravanners in such ill light. Because it's all wrapped up in an incredibly pretentious, badly-written, poorly-directed, terribly-filmed pile of shi te. *n

Dude owned a Juiced Jag Sovreign (I think),.. knows his beans.. should be doing some RR style interviewing with him.

There is just no chemistry or spark between VBH and the bloke she sits in the Ace Cafe with whose name I can't even be bothered to remember. They sit there like they are on a blind date that is not going well at all.

I usually watch it, although i admit it is a bit rubbish. Thought last night's was a ok. The bit about the police was quite interesting cos they actually caught two people who deserved it: - A yoof with a 3 series estate with no tax, test or insurance and then started getting arsey (talked about putting the windows through) when they told him the car was now theirs.
- An illigel immigrant who didn't have a full licence and was actually wanted by immigration so was arrested - he'd been working as a corgi approved gas fitter for 4 frickin years!!!
VBH looks like she's lost a bit of weight too, she was looking a bit of a chubber last series.
