Fake Britain BBC1 1900 Thurs 8th

[Mr E Driver]

On now about stealing and cloning cars

I really hate it when then show a bit of one story then switch to another and then return a bit later All the segments have a 'programme name' and music like the footie replays.
What is wrong with doing one part end, then start and finish the next bit and then they have to keep doing reminders when they return to a subject covered earlier.

They could get a lot more into a programme without the repeat bits.

The real bs fake tyre bit, how would energy saving tyres fare?
Would a supercar stop in shorter distance?

[Mr E Driver]

The fake tyre was obvious because it didn't have the 'stripe' on the tread. I always buy mine from the same place but I always price check them.

OMG, budget tyres arent as good as a more expensive brand name tyre shocker.......... wow, next they are going to be telling us that £25 own brand speakers bought from dixons arent quite as good as a set of Tidal T-1's....... It's simple, if you've got crappy tyres, don't tailgate people like a t**t!!

And as for all that cutting from story to story every 3 seconds STOP IT!! you are the BBC, not bloody C5 !!! and "coming up next" what possible point does that have on a channel without advert breaks?? just tell me what happened and move on to the next bit, FAKE BRITAIN??? fake whole show if you ask me.... btw, i'm not usually this annoyed... ;-)



(BTW, i did like the way they blanked out the name of the "budget" tyre on the computer screen so badly that you could actually read it anyway.....)

All designed so they can sell it to commercial channels.

From this autumn, all tyres will need an "energy rating", like you get on washing mahcines, showing their fuel effeciency. However, generally an energy saving tyre wont have much grip, so they are working to develop tyres which are energy related yet have the same wet weather performance. They have alreayd decided on a minimum amount of wet grip permissable- this should make bad tyres unsellable in the EU in the autumn (cue lots of people going outside the EU and selling cheap tyres to undercut everyone else...)

It was practically a Continental advert!

Welcome to modern TV. Not enough to fill even half an hour of scheduling.

I must admit I was shocked to hear that the DVLA had lost 2 MILLION registration forms! Why did they not pursue this more? That would have made a better programme.

Turned off before the end as it became very dull to watch. I was expecting fake brake pads, bulbs, panels etc.

what ever the reason it's bloody annoying and I have stopped watching these type of programmes and turned over to the cricket well before the end!

When they chop up a film or play for the adverts they don't do a re-cap of what's happened, soaps excepted of course.

With the log books getting stolen I can't understand why they didn't change the colour of them issued after a certain date.
OK it would have cost them money but surely it would have been less money than the cost of investigating the theft and the subsequent chaos by their lax security in letting them get stolen in the first place.
