Fifth Gear has returned on a couple of satellite channels.
Strictly, it's now Fifth Gear Recharged because it's concentrating on electric cars.
Vicki Butler-Henderson has aged well, and Jason Plato still looks fit, if grey.
A new presenter is Karun Chanduk who already does quite a bit on Sky F1.
He's a keen cyclist.
In the first episode he races a new Citroen electric mini-car which Butler-Henderson nearly manages to put on its side.
Overall, the programme is a lot less laddish than Top Gear, offering some useful gen on the cars featured rather than gormless light entertainment.
Overall, a bright start.
