4 Minutes in and Tiff is going sideways and -ooh look thats original- racing a plane around a track.
...and the first lot of adverts without actually having an article in the programme.

Tim Lovejoy, oh great.

From the first 5 mins alone the guy sucks donkey co*k

If this is 5's idea of gaining viewers they are sadly wrong.

As you may have gathered i am not a fan

Gadget show is good though

Tiff was good so far, but the host thing is really, really ruining it, who is that tt anyway and what is he doing there?

They'd be better off crushing him than the poor Golf.

Christ - Lovejoy is possibly one of the most annoying presenters on TV at the moment, they're retesting an Evo again, and are doing yet another car vs plane race.

What a dire way to start a new series.

Ads are on now after a less than impressive start - do you think it'll be worth watching the rest?

Just logged on to say exactly the same thing! Hopeless!

Oh, and here's a leaked copy of the script:

Unknown bloke: later on we'll be doing X
Vicki: Oh, I can't wait for that
Unknown bloke: and then we'll be talking to some random politician
Vicki: Oh, I can't wait for that
Unkown bloke: then we'll be crushing a Golf
Vicki: Oh, I can't wait for that

etc.

Absolute dross so far.

Lovejoy does Soccer AM on sky sports, was funny when it first started but 5 years on its getting a little tired.

He is some sort of totty magnet ( so the ladies tell me) so i gather they think him and VBH are a sure fire ratings winner.

At least Vicky can drive.

The new "home" of Fifth Gear is the Ace - it's where VBH and Twatman are spouting at each other.

Wonder what happened to Plato?
