Where's Oli's verdict this week then?  :popcornsoda:


haha, I enjoyed it more this week, it was less about the three clowns and their pre-written humour, and more about cars, its a  :happy2: from me  :P

Still new series of 5th Gear back next week, monday at 8pm on Discovery.  And they have an ED35 in the adverts for it :smiley: :smiley:

Brilliant episode yesterday :happy2:

Absolutely loved it, although felt a bit like a KIA advert.

This series is proving to be the best yet in my opinion.

Personally i get a bit bored with the stuff like the rugby as it went on for a bit too long but overall it was great.

I don't understand how on earth they got away with wrecking the pitch's hallowed turf!

Im sorry...?? This is probably the most boring series so far... Jeremy and Richard have become poor caricatures of themselves and are desperately trying to be funny.

Even the episode with the aston, LFA, Viper in america was so dull I ended up turning off. Everything is so predictable and contrived.

I think its had its day.

I get my motoring tv fix from watching Chris Harris online videos now.

Oh and Re-Twickers... they re-turf it in the offseason anyway so presume that was done prior to an already scheduled re-turf.

Would have been filmed pre-season RR when the are going to rip the turf up anyway.. Money changes hands everybody's happy then blatant sponsor banners can be seen - so bbc can get some money back etc

I fully agree with some of the points above, it's a bit too predictable and some of the features do drag on for what seems an eternity, gap filling down to budget restrictions I'd imagine but  must admit it this series has made me laugh quite a bit more than the last one. I think it's saving grace is that it is well made, you can tell the BBC are involved whereas %th gear as good as it is just hasn't got the same quality production about it.

I thought TG was rubbish tonight , that old peoples car thing wasnt funny in the slightest , I wish they would do more car reviews like last weeks Astra VXR. There was sillyness in that but at least it was mixed with some facts (and some great camera work)

Some of the staged clips are just terrible they need a fresh perspective, although when the cat came off the roof that was extremly funny but thats only because our lass was sat next to me and she's a cat lover... oops!

The old folks car I thought was quite funny in parts, BUT did it really need to be in two parts and take up half the show??? er no, too many of their stupid stunt features are far too long.

I am however really, really looking forward to the Xmas special over the next couple of weeks.

My biggest fault with it now is that it is far too predictable.

The other option in our house is call the midwife so even tho topgear is becoming predictable id rather watch it then have to sit and watch period drama's sorry state of affairs if you ask me!

Once again, I enjoyed it but I am not expecting anything other than a light hearted Sunday evening BBC2 entertainment show based around cars (or any vehicle come to that).

If anyone wants Hyper car reviews try YouTube, thousands of them in every shape, size and colour.

I enjoyed it. Although do agree that the old folks part was too long.

Can't wait to see the 2 part  'christmas' special :party:

The other reason I enjoy Top Gear on a Sunday evening as it takes my mind of the return to work :happy2:
