Petrolheads

Petrolheads

Car equivilant to Never Mind The Buzzcocks, Have I Got News For You and They Think It's All Over.

So far just one six episode series hosted by Neil Morrisey with Richard Hammond and Chris Barrie as panel captains.

Question is...will there be a second series?

Aston Martin · February 15th, 2007, 01:01 PM

It was awful.

Donington · February 15th, 2007, 01:03 PM

It wasn't very good. Plus I don't like Morrisey that much anyway, and he made Richard crash into his own Ferrari which he just had restored!

Ziggy Shadow-Dust · February 15th, 2007, 01:10 PM

I realised there was a health risk in the Petrolheads studio, involving car exhausts. I wondered if the studio has extracter fans on the ceiling.

Episode 1 and episode 4 are the only episodes that sound good. I don't recall seeing them.

I guess the studio had fans in the ceiling.

could y'all elaborate on the show's premise for us non-brits, please?

Peter3hg · February 15th, 2007, 06:26 PM

It was shocking, enough said.

Kip_6666 · February 15th, 2007, 09:13 PM

It was pretty bad, I'd almost totally blanked the show from my mind, untill you reminded me again because of this thread!

The only good thing about petrolheads was that the had Fearne Cotton on it once images/smilies/biggrin.gif

I second this. The part where Hammond was tricked to crash onto his own 308 GT4 is very painful to watch.

wasn't james may in the show too?

Shawn · February 16th, 2007, 07:49 AM

It was no good... Chris Barrie is a tosser. The bits weren't even that great... some were too easy and some were too stupid... that's the two options. Best thing about Petrolheads was Fearne Cotton's appearance.

Shawn · February 16th, 2007, 07:50 AM

He was a guest on either the 3rd or 4th episode... not a regular like Hamster.

It was OK. The trouble is the producers used the talent in the wrong way.

Hammond should have hosted it, with Neil Morrissey as a team captain.

Why is Chris Barrie a tosser?

Shawn · February 17th, 2007, 03:13 PM

Because I think he is? I don't know if he's officially a tosser.

I just hated the way he talked/acted on Petrolheads... always this smug stupid look on his face.

Ottobon · February 17th, 2007, 08:44 PM

some of it was very funny, but it ran a bit too dry at times, i did like the weird roadsigns though, hammond was usually pretty funny, and from my memory the first episode was great, but it fell flat after that and never really robounded

also i agree about hammonds ferrari, that was just sadistic, even if it was a mondial

Greatgraddage · February 17th, 2007, 08:54 PM

Watch the show Red Dwarf, one of the best comedys ever. Chris Barrie is superb in it.

Ferrari-alert: it wasn't a mondial it was them 308 gt4 he used in the top gear italian super car challenge! Maybe quite harsh but it was a classic Tv moment in my opinion!

I thought it was quite nice actually or at least the episode with Murray walker and James May, images/smilies/lol.gif

Chris barrie doing a silly impersonation of him as well.

I have them all on my competer except for the last episode which I never got to download.

Shawn · February 18th, 2007, 04:27 AM

Well according to Jezza that's not even a Ferrari.
