Petrolheads
How bad is this 'show'.
Neil Morrissey = complete to$$er.. Chris Barrie ... who's he??
And as for the other two... what are they playing at??
This is a serious TV failure on a scale of Cheggers in Naked Jungle...
rubbish...

Chris Barrie started life off in "Spitting Image", but rose to fame as "Rimmer" in Red Dwarf, and as "Brittas" in Brittas Empire.

yes.. yes... Rimmer... Brittas Empire... Giant Machines.. etc etc...
I ask again, in 'petrolheaded' terms, what qualifications does he have?? or Morrissey - especially Morrissey
?? None whatsoever is the answer...
Load of crap!!
It's a cheap New Labour style attempt to cash in, in a boring old BBC 'sports quizz' style on something that the 'producers' of this nonsense clearly know nothing about.

Is it on any other sky channels as the first 5 or 6 are quite hard to pick up in Germany. The rest are fine though.
I have to wait for Top Gear also for re shows on UK living

Couldn't decided which one I wanted to watch less. Ended up wanting to watch midsommer murder less. Still sniggered at the highly original trick of moving the car closer during the parallel parking game. I haven't seen anyone do that since...........

TG supercar challenge was crap. If they had phoned me and said 'what do you reckon will happen if i spend 10k on a 20 year old supercar and take it on a track day, I could have saved the Beeb 30k

Petrolheads is pretty poor, clearly no effort goes into it whatsoever.
Watched 5mins of it last sunday, and murry walker was on it, but he was clearly expecting something different!
Morrisy just doesnt ever come up with a funny come-back, so is crap as presenter. The only remotely amusing remarks came from May and Hamster.

Chris Barrie is a self confessed petrolhead, he is into cars, bikes, pretty much anything with an engine.
He did the E type promo on TG when they had the 10 best cars of all time, he seems to know his stuff and is passionate about it.
He actually rode some of the bikes on Massive Machines and never missed an opportunity to drive/passenger anything.
And of course he also plays Rimmer/Ace rimmer in the best si-fi comedy series ever.
Top bloke imho!
Smoke me a kipper.............

Watched the first episode and thought it was total crap. Watched again last nite and it certainly hasn't improved at all. Won't bother to watch it again.
