Fifth Gear presenter

[Gulf -LS7]

Is it just me or is the tall skinny bloke on Fifth Gear a complete knob

[Stig]

He is, but this thread is best off in the P&P....

Last series, he wore the same clothes in every episode, even though they were obviously filmed a week apart. I didn't mind Tom Ford as much but so far he's been pretty bad in the new ones. I'll give the show this though, it's still more about cars than TG, and Plato and Tiff are great.

Yep, isn't he the guy who's wife/girlfriend sold his Lotus for £1 after he said something about her??

[paddyhasneeds]

He used to present on Kerrang radio. OK each to their own and that may not be to everyone's taste, but he was a talentless fk back then - I thought they'd sacked him for being st then he turns up on 5th gear.

Which tall skinny one as there is two

One seems slightly nobby but the one that occasionally posts on here seems to be a fine bloke

Yes, and it was all a publicity stunt (that worked!)

He is also on Balls of Steel

Yes, he is a t0sser of the highest order.

Have I met him? Well yes I have. he is a t0sser.

He is a t0sser

Next question.....does Hamster need a haircut?

As I said when he first joined the show; it's a miracle. I would have bet money that you couldn't find someone more annoying as a car show presenter than the fat bloke. Somehow they managed it.

It's the fat one who thinks he's funny and tiff's smugness that bug me, they so badly want to be topgear but they just ain't and it's sad.

Agree about the fat bloke- smug & annoying Topgear reject. But leave Tiff alone, the man can drive!!

Does the Tin Man have a sheet metal cock?

Top Gear makes you forget about 5th gear. Thank crikey for that as they are all feking annoying, every last one of them, . For me its VBH who pouts around like Claudia Schiffer who pushes my red mist button...argh!

[pies1981]

Sorry but, Tim shaw when he was on kerrang was hilarious!!

Holy st - I had never made the connection! I thought he was pretty funny on that.

[teapea]

5th gear seems to lack direction, they try a slightly different format every season, and then when it doesn't work, try something different

that guy off kerrang is a complete idiot/dick though, loves himself far too much, and really not funny.
Whoever hired him needs a slap

Fifth gear needs to stop trying to be Top Gear, as they will never match the chemistry of the TG guys, it just looks so put on when they try
They should stick to having good drivers, well informed enthusiasts reviewing cars that we might actually want to buy, and leave top gear to be funny
