I know the last series was a disaster but when is it going to start again? I have also heard that 5th Gear may be coming back? Anyone know?

It's not coming back due to the constant moaning every week by people who still watch it even though they go on and on about how terrible it is.

I hear it is going to be replaced by a new format of Gardeners Question Time complete with studio audience in a big greenhouse sited an old farm where various horticultural challenges will be attempted.

Jason Plato talked about 5th Gear returning when he was interviewed at the Autosport Show.

Said it was going back to it's roots with only him, Tiff and VBH presenting.

Cool, if it starts the first week July it will tie in with the FOS weekend smile.

Sounds like a good start. I hope it continues beyond that.

I thought Jonny (carpervert) was in the line up?

I'm not sure what it is but I want to punch Plato in the face. Maybe it's something to do with his big nose or his obvious skill and career in motorsport that makes me angry.

The only thing worserer is Tiff who I'd like to electrocute while pulling his toe nails out. (obviously in between shocks)

VBH is just a dog.

Bring back Ford and that annoying Ginger bloke.

I'll go with the 18th July as there won't be any space in the schedules whilst the world cup is on...

can't be any worse than "Lambing Live" - WTF was all that about? on prime time TV!!

Seriously though and back on topic, TG 2010 - if they make more films like the Romania Epic I'll be happy. I'd also like to see proper category tests that don't just take place on the test track.

e.g., Ultimate Hot Hatch, Best £20k driver's car (both used and new), Best "Family" driver's car (£20-£30k), Best £20-30k coupe, Best £40-60k Performance Car etc etc - i.e., more focus on "attainable" cars vs lots of supercars. Of course, I'd still like to see a good smattering of the exotic machinery, but not as much as we have been force fed thus far....

Also, think its time to ditch the set-ups/ + maybe Star in a Reasonably Priced car.....

Some good ideas. I like the one from General Gassing, where it was suggested that they drive around in convertibles and see how much abuse you get based on different cars..

Star in the car is way overdue. Cool Wall should be a more regular feature and like you say categories- best in class etc. hell, even good old road tests! Nice to have the occasional exotica but not week in week out..
