I spotted it was on (Quest? WTF is that?) and taped it. Haven't watched it yet. Hope that's useful.

I was a bit put off by the description of “...and Ronnie O’Sullivan reviews a...”. Unless he’s reviewing a snooker cue, I’m not really all that interested in his opinion.

Does Quest have a catch up service?

How long is it before VBH squeals with delight? How long before Tiff drifts?

Edit: Found it. https://www.questod.co.uk/show/fifth-ge ... HD_226376B

Watched it. Thought it was decent. Obviously not the big budget production of TG or TGT but worth a watch.

Agreed. There's always got to be a contrived race with lots of changes of position in, but a good slug of car-based entertainment. V10 reliability/costs not mentioned for the BMW which was surprising.

Yeah, I liked it. Will watch the next one. Shame it's on such an obscure channel.

Is anyone else still watching this?
I’ve enjoyed all the episodes I’ve watched so far and mostly some proper car content. I think they’re disappearing off the Quest page so get in while you can (link above).

Only watched the first three so need to catch up.

Some daft bits (like every programme) but certainly watchable. I’m glad it’s on TV than not.

Well - maybe. MLB was very watchable and he's an actor. The jury has really convened early on the new Top Gear presenters!

I am proud to admit that I have NOT.

I also haven't seen Top Gear or Fifth Gear since about 2001, bar the odd clip out of curiosity to see how Joey was getting on 😂

I've undermined my point here somewhat, I'm guessing.

Got to 1.03. I'd ask for my cash prize but I feel that it's compensation I need, not reward.
