Default 5th Gear - New Presenter

Hi All,

Did everyone, like myself, miss 5th Gear's job advert for their new presenter? Luckily I have found a copy...

'Irritating c**t required for long running, popular TV motoring program. Must have NO interest or ability in anything connected with motoring.

Previous experience should be limited to hospital radio or light entertainment.

Key roles will include, but are not limited to, debasing this successful series with banal and inane commentaries on subjects you clearly have no interest in.

Please apply in writing to ...etc. etc.'


Where on earth did they get this muppet from!? I have never found myself skipping through an episode of 5th Gear - until this series.

PLEEEEASE - get rid of this moron. I'm stunned that they even allow this guy on hallowed turf. (Don't get me started on the 'soft-focus' filming at the ACE!!!)

5th gear is part of the car-hater lobby's attempt to make motoring uninteresting & therefore extinct.

He's great on Soccer a.m. and I don't even really like soccer.

5th Gear just doesn't really work, whoever is on it.

It worked with Tiff and Plato, and VBH to a lesser extent.

Lovejoy is indeed and utter utter c**t.

Yep.

Can someone post this on PH ?

I'm not a member over there and I don't want my first post to be 'please sign my petition' blah blah blah, I think that's bad form.
