5th Gear - new series started last night (6th Sept)

Post by PerryGunn » Fri Sep 07, 2018 7:36 am

Just a heads up as I didn't see it advertised - it's on Quest at 9pm Thursdays

I can see why it wasn't going to be renewed, the format is very old and tired now - and people moaned about Top Gear.... :roll:

They still waste half the running time with Tiff and Plato having a 3 (meaningless) round 'shootout' between two cars finishing with a staged 'race' around a track...

The segment on the potential replacement of TX4 black cabs with an electric model was interesting though....

I watched it. Top gear in it's prime it isn't. Found it ok to be fair. Definitely worth a watch if you have a spare hour. I too liked the electric cab bit, but also enjoyed the ds7 bit too. A few laughs in there :)
