fifth gear - new series

The show has definitely improved over the years, I still cringe a bit, but it's good to watch. Not seen any of the new series, hopefully it's on demand.
 
There was enough of that Harris feel to the segment that I was happy.

I like Karun, he's just a bit wooden. Plato as much as he's an arse in BTCC and on social media bounced well off Tiff. Monkey is definately better than Higgins or Chandok though.
 
we'll kick this thread then - history lesson fifth gear and top(?) gear have a common dna - the former has commentators who can drive

fifth gear unplugged , good as normal

Do you think it is acceptable to call a black person a monkey?
 
Chris got the nickname when he was at Autocar. I read somewhere it's a reference to the off-screen character of "Monkey" Harris in Only Fools and Horses.

I'm ready to accept an apology anytime.

Anyway, in answer to the original question - no, it's not acceptable. Chris Harris isn't a "black person", so the question is nonsense. I do resent the accusation of racism based on ignorance in a thread from over six years ago.

I'm sorry someone on the internet was offended on behalf of a demographic they are very unlikely to represent due to a misunderstanding from a post made over six years ago.


That about do it? :D
 
thread was revived/referring to latest fifth gear unplugged - Chris Harris is long gone - thankfully - Karun still wooden, Plato becoming more cocky, Viki the same

.... northcoast 500 in the ioniq with unexpected fast charger at john o'groates - et al
 
Sorry, I did not realise the thread was so old. I watched I believe the latest episode a couple of days ago featuring the Hyundai Ioniq and thought this thread was referring to that.

Fifth gear Recharged? All about electric cars its on free to air so I assume its old? As I know next to nothing about electric cars and since we'll all have to get to grips with them in the not too distant future I'm following it. This series could do with its own thread, as you say the Ioniq looks interesting
