He was in TG on many occasions, conspicuously un-named ('professional racing driver' 'racer called Ben' etc) - he always sounded somewhat effeminate.

What a surprise 5G tries to take a pop/pee of TG yet again - getting a bit boring now, like the show. VBH looks liks a haggered fat butch man too. WTF do they have that idiot who was in the Skoda, I've never seen him do 1 decent article.

The best bit about 5th gear is the Tiff vs Jason battles. Admittedly last nights was tame as no head to head. I remember one (boxster vs z4 iirc) where Jason was so close to taking Tiff out 
BBC should get Tiff & Plato on TG as a replacement for the Stig and for each fast lap see who can get the best time. Now that would be cool
My sky planner said Jason was driving the fastest production porsche ever but that never happened. Also didnt 5G used to a 1hr show and now just 30 mins?

But that's an utter waste of time! Tiff hangs the **** out everywhere whilst Jason drives properly, of course Jason's gonna put a quicker lap in.
Oh and that car that Ben drove isn't the quickest thing out there, not by a long way...
Try this at 4.7 seconds for the quarter at 319 mph
(versus 8 seconds for Collins)

Race 3 was the closest he got to his co presenter and Plato had given up once he had won the championship.

Novel way of further upping the number of presenters, a bit like a bag of crisps still only costing 30p but only containing 4 crisps. Why do C5 programs need so many presenters ? Take off the ads before, after and in the middle, opening and closing credits, the 'coming up in this weeks show' at the start and mid-way, the competition, and the 'on next weeks show' and it's only about 12 minutes of footage. They have Tiff, Plato, VBH, Tom, Geek, Stig, Johnny, and maybe that cool DJ tosser too. They could do 90 seconds each to fill the show each week. That bloody Gadget Show bollox is the same, managing to employ half of Herefordshire whilst providing NO useable information and only mediocre entertainment, apart from Suzi's legs, and now Pollyanna's too
