What a pile of tosh this was last night(Monday).

A motoring show with no motoring?

Totally devoid of humour,and interaction between presenters.

I pray for the return of Clarkson,Hammond and May

Sounds like they are trying to get the status of Top Gear. On channel 5, dont think so.

a poor imitationIt's a poor imitation but when it first started it was the same as the Top Gear at the time that had just been cancelled after Clarkson left to do that terrible chatshow. All the presenters were from Top Gear. If Top Gear is cancelled again I wouldn't be surprised if 5th Gear copies it. 5th Gear is top gear on most cars.

I agree - the presenters were absolutely rubbish. This show is only saved by Tiff Needell & Jason Plato...

Tiff Needell is excruciating in my head, so I will stay clear.

Obviously has not improved since last time I turned it on by accident.

It's awful, the new main presenter is just, well, crap.

It's Tim Lovejoy.

He is very good on Soccer AM on Sky.

But he admitted he knows bugger all about cars.

So why employ him as a presenter on a motoring show?

It's like having Gordon Ramsay on Gardeners Question Time

How strange. I remember Steve Wrght when he was on Radio 1 incurring the wrath of fans when he faded Stairway to Heaven out before it finished and then admitting he didn't know anything about music.

What a terrible show.

Butler-Henderson is a very poor presenter, and has an annoying giggle that I suppose she thinks is 'cute'. And that fella who was co-presenting was equally poor.

And what was the point of the car-crushing? I gather this is going to be a regular feature, but why?

Like has been said,this is a VERY poor immitation of Top Gear.

Using the car crushing piece illustrated this,the difference being when the TG team destroy something,they do it more entertaining than using a digger.
