It seems the axe has missed.

 

It's back as half hour show, should be better as hopefully less time for the duff stuff.

I wonder if the prize of a second hand car will be continued....

 

 

Thursday 03 June 7:30pm - 8:00pm

Five

 

1/10

New series of the motoring magazine show presented by Vicki Butler-Henderson, Jonny Smith, Tiff Needell and Jason Plato. Lewis Hamilton gives his verdict on an amazing new supercar, while Tiff and Vicki test out some of the latest super-speedy hatches. Jason hits the Italian highways in a Ferrari 458 Italia, and Jonny takes a city car challenge.

 

and repeated if you've missed it;

Is that chubby blonde haired idiot still in it? I like Tiff, Vikki, and Jason. Fifth Gear is pretty good apart from that guy.

 

Nah. They got rid of Tom Ford and his escort.

 

I want a 458. Can we have a whip-round for me please?

My Sky+ box decided it no longer wanted to work, the only way to fix it was a full reset but sadly I forgot to add this to the planner :(

 

I am just interested in new material/cars, Top Gear is just repeated over and over.

If you had wanted you could have taken the hard drive out of your sky box, backed it up, formatted it and reinstalled or upgraded. Its quite easy to do.

 

Sorry for the off topic wandering.

 

VBH would be having it for sure, dirty little minx as i imagine her

Speaking of low budget car shows, has anyone been watching the new series of wheeler dealers on disc RT?

 

It's quality, they've upped their budget (though not by loads). They've bought some proper awesome classics (845 bmw, Sapphire cosworth, triumph stag, 1973 911) and then done them up to sell. I like it because it seems a bit more genuine, the lanky dude actaully gets his hands dirty and does all the work, I find it fascinating.

 

It makes me want to go out and buy some old shitter to waste money on :D

I'd have kept 5th Gear and ditched Top Gear tbh.

 

At least 5th gear have managed to sustain an interest in cars... which makes better viewing than watching three grown men flirt with each other for an hour.

 

:yeahthat:

 

I wonder will fifth gear get there hands on the LFA & do a good review of it instead of a computerised one. They might also explain to viewers why it costs so much instead of "so it isn't 6 times faster than a GTR but it costs 6 times more".

Thank god, fifth gear was boring, i know top gear arnt as serious as they used to be, but its fun and involves cars...fifth gear just do reviews of boring cars that you can easily find on the internet...not intresting at all!

 

When it comes to top gear i love to see the paces they put cars through.

 

 

Jeremy, Richard and James...biggest laugh ever, keep them and add a female...breaking them up would kill the new style top gear imo.

Dude so its a 1/2 hour show now...HAHA what fun could they show us in that time. This will just lead to fifth gear finishing for good. Hopefully:D

 

How about watching it first then posting? You never know, you might enjoy it.

Brief rundown for you.

 

Plato is in Italy driving the new Ferrari. Lovely car.

Then Tiffany Dell and VBH test some hot hatches on a track.

Then that young kid with the trendy facial hair bangs on about crashing an old Mini.

Finally, Mclaren get several minutes to sell you their new F1 by getting HamilButtton to put it round Goodwood.

 

Not one shot of the Ace Cafe or the North Circular or Beardy Man and Tube Sock Boy to be seen.

Excellent. I'm not sure why they felt the need for the Beard dudes. Wasn't one annoying bearded b@stard enough?! :D
