Fifth Gear 8pm new series (and Gadget Show before it)
Discussion
my god!!
well done to fifthgear producers i say, they managed to make Vroom Vroom look like intellectual entertainment, and the whitterings of westwood on pimp my bride into something i would look forward to.
an hour long, bloody hell, ten minutes would have been long enough to get all they had to say in.
at least i managed to get the washing up done.
I found myself looking forward to the adverts. 6 minutes in and the best part of the show was found.
utter tripe. if i am not doing something more interesting next week, blowing spit bubbles or watching paint dry i might try it next week but only as a deep and desperate need to watch car shows exists, and nothing at all to do with the utter crap they just showed on there.

*Stare*
I would call it car crash TV if that werent a) tasteless given current recent events and b) the prog seemed to have little to do with cars. Just a couple of woodentops sat at a table in a cafe, not eating, drinking or doing anything at all really.
5 Minutes of adverts, 4 minutes of programme, closing credits. Continuity announcer wishing Hamster well. They couldn't even be bothered to do a proper insert edit!

I´d rather eat my own ear wax than watch again next week even though Freddy will be on.
Truly truly plummeting to new depths of dross.
If the busy boby do gooders want to cancel a car show please oh please make it this steaming pile of human excrement.
Come on hamster get your arse out of bed asap and rescue us all.

k Can I have the last hour of my life back please????? It was truly terrible- SKY+ed it and then watched about 10 mins, mostly the Tom Ford bit as he's generally amusing but then other than the car having a big stereo (somewhat!) it wasn't a feature about cars at all yet was the most entertaining bit...
Oh, and that annoying chap (who I think does/did write for Lax Power magazine) with the Merc tried to keep it street but throwing in the odd bit of pre-teen language into his dull, dull feature.
Shame as it seemed like it was on the up last season but it has truly reached a new low.

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?[/quote]
I think Plato must have read the script and said thanks but no thanks, he does after-all have a modicum of sense.
I must say, I am sitting here wondering how the hell they could have got it so wrong. The last series started to improve towards the end and I thought that maybe, just maybe, they would improve with this series. How wrong can one be?

I can't imagine where they got the idea for fast car vs stunt plane around a track.

£225,000 raised so far for the Hambulance seems like a bargain if it gets RH back on the screen even a week earlier!

What What What the hell was that? Dear god the producers must have been stupid and blind to approve that!
What happened. After a long long time they had finally got that program to an acceptable tv program! Anyone see the last episode of 5th gear last series with a Ferrari Enzo and Maclaren F1? That was good, that was what I wanted to see.
Also why would they get rid of plato (unless he chose to go and if that is the case then well done plato, good timing!!) he was good. The girls allowd episode was good and the F430 review he did was brilliant, much better than top gears review!!
Roll on October 8th and (hopefully) the start of the new Top Gear series, as long as the BBC have the balls to proceed. All the best hampster

Why do they all
seem to be talking
in really short, urgent sentences
with the syllable stress in the wrong
place?
This is terrible, really, what is the point?

I've noticed that on a lot of TV over the past year or there abouts. SO annoying, especially when you start to notice it. No idea where it's come from although I think it's the presenters trying to dramatise everything which of course only gets us used to dramatic stuff and so they have to do it more and more to make any impact. In fact they aren't making impact or sounding dramatic - they just sound stupid.
