It needed a good polish Swirls a-plenty

I did laugh at the stumpy-munter swiping the **** off the Scoob, and her disappointment at being beaten by a 17yo

Not as good as last weeks show, but generally they are improving, slowly. Unlike Top Gear, who are on a steep downward spiral IMHO

Agree, Tom is fine on his own. He doesn't need the cocky side-kick.

I find the cocking about (such as the painball stuff) just so, so, soooo painful to watch. If they came up with their own ideas and didn't copy a lot of TG's ideas it would be far more watchable.

I think i actaully prefer 5th gear to Top Gear now. At least they actaully still test some cars unlike Top Gear

Haven't they already run that competition following a test against a hatch WRX?

Personally I thought DC's career was finished with Williams and it's been downhill ever since!!

Some would argue Maclaren, but either way his career was finished before Red Bull, that was just the final nail!!

He is a very fast and talented driver, just blighted by inconsistency. One race he'd be mixing it with Schuey and Hill, the next embedded in the wall on the warm up lap He can still compete with the young guns of F1, and in a car which should be near the bottom of the field he repeatedly put it in the upper mid-field, occasionally challenging for podiums. I feel he was a missed opportunity for F1, whether by his own mistakes or misfortune, but he could have possibly been a world champ. Button is similar IMHO, although he has simply lacked form rather than cocked up. If either had managed to retain a top seat they'd both have been contenders. Once you start on the downward slope through the midfield it's difficult to get back up. I look forward to him being on the commentary team on BBC1 next year though, as he's never been one to mince his words.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Great character who did do very well in his career, should be great on the BBC
