So love lovecars has been taken up by itv4, I'm surprised they have taken on sideways sid because he drives like a loon on public roads and crashed someone's car if search for it.
Maybe he ticks the quota equality box, but still, mainstream tv, employing a loon?
Looking forward to it though, sorry if someone has already created thread, I couldn't find one.

The show is called On The Road, starting 8pm Thursday 12th November, ITV4.

Looks decent.

At the same day and time as Bangers and Cash, which is a bit silly.

Tiff Needell can be a bit annoying but nowhere near as much as the current Top Gear presenter, and I've never heard of Paul Woodman. Going on the preview posted above, and if they have got the balance right, Lovecars: On The Road already looks much better than current Top Gear. Looks like there are some nice cars in the preview.

Starting tonight (12/11/20) on ITV 4 at 2000.

Looks a bit like his own version of Fifth Gear after he was shown the door recently. Season 1 Episode 1 so might be worth a look. Might not be. Just for info.

Sorry if another thread is running but I haven’t seen it.

I'm going to give it a try. It could be good, and Tiff is generally knowledgeable and an enjoyable person to watch (though his vocalisations can be a little grating when he gets overexcited while drifting hehe)

May give this a go but on Freeview ITV 4 is in standard definition and has a horrendous bitrate, noticeably worse than other SD channels.

This is a TV version of Lovecars on Youtube so if you want an idea of what to expect, have a look on there. Usually worth a watch; it's standard Tiff fare, I like him personally and if we had terrestrial TV I'd probably watch.

Looks good, actually.

Few little digs at TG as the BBC's "light entertainment show" and the Dallara which "might have been on TG" and how this is in the historic Thursday TGT slot.

Have to say, Tiff looks good for 69.

Got to say I like it so far. Definitely more of a car review show than an entertainment show. Pitched very similar to fifth gear so far.

No, but the Italian Vicki is easy on the eye. (I think her name is Vicki)
