The new series of 5th Gear doesn't seem to be advertised much, but is now on Discovery HD Channel 520 on Monday's @ 8pm for 1 hour. If you missed last nights I think it is repeated on Friday @ 7pm and 8pm on 520/521 (521 being disc HD+1). Group test worth watching. Show is so much better than Top Gear.

Ahh I was wondering why I couldnt find it on Channel 5 listings anywhere or even on Demand5.

So it would seem this too is a Sky TV thing now. Not quite sure why Channel 5 isnt showing it too however - I thought they made it??

Bugger - I still refuse to subscribe to Sky! mad

Just in case you might be unaware.

One way to receive all unscrambled satellite TV channels, without any subscription, is to simply buy a dish and decoder box. They are occasionally offered by Lidl, and normally by Maplins.

I have once again, enjoyed watching the US Open Tennis for free (the commentary is in German, but we know the rules of the game).

Another treat is the Le Mans 24 hour race, which is shown in full each year, although I have never watched the entire programme.

I wonder if the others were equipped with the optional carbon brakes then to make it a direct comparison?

And thanks for ruining it for me wink

All those complaining about the spoiler... if you hadn't all quoted him, he could have edited his post to stop spoiling it for anyone else biggrin

Don't have TV, assume it'll be on youtube at some point..?

DBS has carbons as stardard, if the others make them options... more fool them. It's an old car now and still keeping up with the competition smile
