Fifth Gear new series

Shame about the mistake in the competition question.
Which of these was a famous WWII bomber?
a) Manchester
b) Lancaster
c) Doncaster
Err... (a)and(b) Ooops.
The Lancaster was a direct development of the Manchester, both of which entered service with the RAF. Although not equally famous as the Lanc, the Manchester is just as famous for its unreliability and tendency to catch fire/lose an engine/or both.

Really liked the new 'team test' feature.
1. Park car. All wander round it, kick tyres, wobble a few bits, give frank comments.
Very PH style!
2. One-to-ones with the camera. Getting the feeling that they might tell you something they didn't want to say with the group/confiding with the viewer about their opinions on the car.
3. Four-up road test in pedal-down scenario. What's not to like?
4. Vote.
Format really worked for me. Found it very honest; not like they'd had a bung from the manufacturer to keep to a script.

Thought that was a very good start to the series, that Rover was superb.

how about they show the car and not themselves - why do we need to see the presenters for 90% of the time. less ego more cars please.1. Park car. All wander round it, kick tyres, wobble a few bits, give frank comments.
