What channel?

[MTech535]

Quest

[Blink982]

No wonder audience figures are rock bottom if they don't publicise it's actually on.

Didn't they sack Tiff? Tells me a lot about their shifting target demographic, doubt I'll be watching it.

Goblin's a tt.

If they'd changed the name of the program, I'd have had some idea what channel it was on. No wonder no one knows

I thought it was pretty good, a nice mix of subjects and all interesting.

Typical Fifth Gear from any number of different series. Needell gone but not missed. Some of the editing on the Porsche/McLaren feature was awful. Unfortunately, nothing to get excited about.

The flicky flashy choppy editing ? That caused me to wince. Someone was trying to be all "top gear" but on speed. Hold one sodding shot for a moment! :-)

She’s been around, for what feels like forever.

That old TVR (T350C?) review episode springs to mind though. Cold morning, no bra underneath the top/sweater.

Yes, exactly that. I hate it and it's so pointless because you can't absorb anything.

Despite my protestations I did watch it. Something about Plato really grates.

Did laugh when VBH said that mini had underfloor heating. Mine had that when it rained and the plugs got wet, it misfired and set the cat on fire.

I usually really enjoy 5th Gear but I struggled to get into the first episode and I found it quite boring. I'm hoping that the rest of the series gets better though and I'll stick with it to see.

They described the 570s as new, it feels like it's been out years.
