I wish this show didnt exist. Compelled to watch it (got cars in) hate myself for doing so.
Makes my blood pressure increase, dangerously I expect.
At least that leather clad twerp wasnt in it this time.

Not good at all.

The new M5, ...ooooohhhh!!!!

It's two cars in one, you can drive it slowly, or you can drive it quickly.

...and it's built in Germany .....oooooohhhhhhhh, build quality, ohhh, badges, price,



Where are the FACTS?! My sodding car goes fast and slow...



There's a Jaguar!...

...I bet you think this is a ferrari, or a lambo, you've just told me what it is... but no - it's a Jaguar...

Get some sodding CONTINUITY.



Here's a dei..

And now back to the M5...

Look, you can drive it fast,

...or you can drive it slo...

Yes, I get the sodding idea...



Niceish guys, but not TV presenters (and maybe not too good at journalism either...), bad script, reasonable camera work, poor editing, Awfull programme, won't make it to series two...

Unless it's revamped.

Didn't Pistonheads offer to put a pilot together a couple of years ago?

Suggestions?

Like you, I USED TO feel compelled to watch because of the car content but now realise I've wasted 30 mins of my life each week. In fact not that long, maybe 3 or 4 because that's how long it takes me to reach for the remote & turn over. I've said it before & I'll say it again - it's a chav programme, on the chav channel, presented by people who possess little or no presentational skills, aimed at chavs. You learn NOTHING about the cars they're "testing".

How can the decision makers at ITV have made such a mistake in Rutherford & Brewer ?

It is shockingly bad, the format is just terrible. Especially the good cop/bad cop bollox.

What really got me going was when they shouted rude bollox to that nice elderly chap on his farm. If that makes it into the show, imagine the quality that's left sitting on the cutting room floor.. must be 'priceless' (£.0.00)

Saw about 5 minutes of it. Initially surfed onto ITV and saw them on a farm with a pig and an M5, but cringed when they were eulogising over the from air dam and turned over, then drifted back for the Jag bit and heard the bloke say it was a Jag before asking if we thought it was a Ferrari. I turned off then...

Dismal rubbish.

Demographics.

We on pistonheads are actually in a minority; intelligent, freethinking, reasonable individuals, with a capacity for forming our own thoughts and opinions...

The target audience is probably tanked up on fosters, back home with a chinese and shagging his sisters mate on the couch... and therefore doesn't need someone else prat on about motion shafts and sag wagons.
It'll sound just like his social worker...

But we did find out the very important news that the M5 doesn't have very good cup holders
