Dangerous · 5 Jan 2009 at 21:18

Anyone watch it tonight? I thought it was very good and enjoyed the lot of it!

As i said in IRC;

[Jez-] fifth gear thoughts
[Jez-] 1) the ferrari looks amazing
[Jez-] 2) i dont care about a zafira
[Jez-] 3) blah blah blah barely watched the rest, boring, the 2 clowns presenting the golf feature do my nut

Yeah, enjoyed it. I think their articles are quite cool now, not too much time wasting either!

Dangerous · 5 Jan 2009 at 21:22

Also did anyone see the Autosport TV advert :cool:

That live footage was mine

I like it. It's really good sometimes. I don't think it's enjoyable as TG though. I switch it on, if the first ten minutes are crap then I change the channel. I missed tonights one though. And before anyone asks, I would consider doing the woman presenter.

Was ok.

Not sure what the point of the Joe Calzaghe bit was. Mind you, I'd be scared of his bint too when she looks like that.

Assuming that was the Bowler race, the point of it was to make you want a Bowler. It worked.

135k odd and I still want it as well

I don't think you can compare the two. One is classified as an entertainment program (TG) that has problems with portraying facts, the other is a motoring journalism program.

I still find some of the 5th gear presenters really annoying... tif and that woman are alright... but the rest just get on my nerves

I didn't mind it, just felt bombarded with tiny short films and would've much rather have longer segments.

Tried to watch that, its ridiculously buggy. for a start, WMP is a terrible way of streaming content, and it was all jumpy and crashed firefox a couple of times. was hardly any better on IE.

I watched it mainly for the Ferarri bit. Got to say that is the first Ferrari I've seen that makes me go "want that one" since watching Miami Vice (original series not the new film)

Agreed. While I really enjoy Top Gear, I think Fifth Gear is the better motoring program.

Lashout_UK · 6 Jan 2009 at 10:02

Also agreed

I get more out of watching 5th gear than I do TG these days, in a lot of instances that includes entertainment, as there are some very, very weak episodes in TG now.
