BBC2 : Petrolheads....

[fozzi]

just started.. new quiz show, along the lines of Have I Got News For You

[m.c]

oh dear, its terrible

[zoom_jones]

"They Think its all over" but massively over scripted and cars not sport, doesn't work at all. Such a let down after the best episode of Top Gear ever. Its like watching Men and Motors (the lame car shows bit....).

[Nick_Chim]

Its giving petrolheads a bad name - Ted should sue!

[deevlash]

that was dire

[alexkp]

Not impressed so far - far to staged and scripted and not actually funny.

Hammond is in serious danger of overexposure.

I'll give it another week, as I like Chris Barrie.

[fozzi]

utter crap... massive let down!

neil morrisey quite possibly the worst quiz show anchor ever!!!

thats a point- if it was called J sainsbury, the said company would go nuts!

as I commented on a seperate post Pistonheads started life as petrolheads I hope i am correct on saying that and If I am
I hope TED has the copyright.



edited to add: Even with Hammond amongst the guests it was utter drivel..............

I thnink it could work - but without Hammond (he is not a comedian) and probably without Morrisey.

The apparent "anarchy" of TTIAO and Buzzcocks, coupled with truly good games and presenters suited to comedy quizzes is what is lacking.

Glad it wasn't just me it thought it was pants then!

This show isn't original. The same sort of format was used in a late night show for car anoraks on Granada TV a few years ago. In that manifestation the teams were all made up from members of the public in teams from pubs or car clubs.

Can't for the life of me remember what it was called. It may even have been Petrolheads.

I didn't make it past five minutes. Total cack!
A shame considering TG was very entertaining this evening too..

[billb]

complete pants after that amazing episode of tg

[Ali_Kat]

I kept watching, in the hope that it would get better....but it got worse!!

I can't see this becoming a regular 'have to watch' for me somehow!

[JonRB]

Yep, I watched it through to the end in the hope it would redeem itself. And it didn't.

Totally over-scripted. I mean, we all know these kind of programmes are scripted, even I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue, but it isn't as blatantly in-your-face as as Petrolheads was.

May give it one more chance next week, but my hopes aren't high.

Utter CARP!

[4WD]
