Thought it was OK overall, Tim Shaw is good just got to wait for him to go nuts now and get fired.

Wish they would stop with the stupid bits, like loading boxes into the Lotus and the other car, why bother you're not Top Gear.

A bit worried about the preview of next weeks Insignia bit, looks like they are going to review it in a 'comedy' manner with that buffoon from the Apprentice trying to sell one. Why not review it in a slightly more serious manner, like the Skoda one they did on last night's show.

Overall, I think Fifth Gear is a good companion to Top Gear as you get to see both ends of the market reviewed.

You mean the review of the Skoda that involved hitting the inside a few times with a hammer, then parking it at the side of the road and taping over the badges. Very informative

Glad to see that the programme has maintained it's consistency....being consistently garbage.

I know it wasn't the most imformative review, but they didn't hire in a rent-an-idiot to, and this is just my opinion, possibly make a mockery of the car from the start. It was very VW own Skoda it must be good, wereas I'm concerned the equally as good Insignia will probably get slated from the off.
