I skipped the interview section, the rest was fun fun fun

Same - I used to be able to tolerate it but now I just have to skip it - there are exceptions when it is someone I personally find interesting though so I guess there will be other people who do find interesting the ones I don't.

Same here. Went and made a cuppa while that crap was on.

Really wish they would drop the whole celeb thing as it’s just pointless filler.

Wonder how long till the new crew get banned from MIllbrook ?

Don't know if the lack of a post immediately after the show is an indictment of current viewing figures/interest in the show. But going to go out on a limb and say i thoroughly enjoyed that episode.

The moment when Paddy's car destroyed itself was a proper laugh out loud moment. Great Sunday night viewing.

MOOGLEYS · 9 Feb 2020 at 22:56

Really enjoyed it too. Tbh I really thought the current crew would be crap but I have been proven wrong.

Watching on iplayer, hilarious when the wheels rip off Paddy’s car!

Me and my mrs were howling when he did that, it looked as though (at least going on the rest of the car), that an owner had bodged it with chicken wire or something.

I was absolutely creased up with laughter at that. Fantastic.

Semple · 10 Feb 2020 at 07:55

Enjoyed the start of the series as well.

Really good episode.

Conscript · 10 Feb 2020 at 08:30

Yup, enjoyed that.

Maccy · 10 Feb 2020 at 09:26

That was a great episode!

Glanza · 10 Feb 2020 at 16:42

First episode that felt like the older TG episodes, shouldn't laugh but when the axle came of Paddy's car had me in tears.

Chris Harris and Freddie were on breakfast TV apparently, saying they were being moved to BBC1, so I guess it's going well?

Looked like bent rebar with really snotty welds. About as bodge as bodge can go.

It was funny overall but the wheels coming off was too staged for me. That car was never making it to the end so kill it off and buy something that might.

MrKnifey · 11 Feb 2020 at 07:05

Another episode I enjoyed. Think they finally got it right with this line up

I'd love to know if that bit was staged or not.

Better episode overall - dragged at a couple of points for me though especially towards the end.
