We spend the day with John Barrowman at Sweet Lamb Rally Complex in Wales. Discover the fate of the £120,000 Group N Subaru Impreza. For more videos, news and reviews go to fwd.five.tv/fif...
What Tiff said: "The problem, as it turned out, was that John Barrowman (...) proved to be a very good driver: focused, confident and with excellent control and concentration. Right up to the moment he crashed. " (quote from Tiff's article on Times Online) - doesn't sound that pissed to me.
mate we were the fire crew the prodrive guys were fine the car was well insured and john was great fun all day wether on camera or not and john and tiff were both ok and had minor debris in the eyes etc it was apleasure to work with him on this programme the wessex fire and rescue service fire crew
Well, that was so entertaining...though I actually don't care for racing cars or stuff like that. But with John in it, it's always fun. He's smart, funny, cute and charming. I understand that not everyone llikes a person, but I fully agree with others here, those who post hateful, homophobic comments are a disgrace for humanity. No one has the right to bash him or any people for whom they love!!!!!
Vastly upgraded rally version. Rally coilovers alone are like $6,000. High performance turn-key motor kits run in the $20,000+ range. You could easily dump that much money into an already ~$35,000 car.
he just seems like the funnest person to hang out with. and he has the dirtiest mind... hahhaa... when he was shouting "heeeelp!" and that rescue guy came in, LOL....
Not bad at all for a beginner - though the whole adventure also went to prove what happens when confidence level > skill level! Car not too badly damaged really, just a bit of broken glass and some panels needin' replacin'. Maybe this will get all the Torchwood fangirls into rallying... good thing or bad thing... hmm... Enh, welcome one, welcome all, we could do with more rally fans.
I think the ferrari sticker might be more of a parody since he apparently knows what car he owns. And I really can't understand why it's so important. It's his car!
He looks a little like Tom Cruise and Scott Wolf of Party of Five. Interesting to learn that he's Scottish but sounds like a yank (yes, I know he lived there for a time). He could pass for Tom Cruise with shades.
This John guy is a tool, and I feel bad for Tiff for having to put up with him. I've ridden with people at tracks who "ran out of talent", and it's not fun.
I don't like John. I hope he is not a new addition to the team. I like Fifth Gear though. I like that Tiff,Jason and Vicki are all experienced and talented drivers first, and journalist second. It is hard for me to listen to Jeremy Clarkson speak of driving dynamics when I don't respect his opinion.

No matter what I watch him in, he makes me laugh.
Much love for the Barrowman♥
Me too. Great sense o humour. 🥰

Gotta love John! He is hilarious! :)
Luv how Tiff is almost laughing ( heckeling) during the roleovers!
For once, i really wanted to see behind the scenes of Fifth Gear.
Go Fifth Gear, you're getting the hang of making nice car shows!

John Barrowman = Charm
i actually enjoyed this behind the scenes one

Agreed completely!
He's right, he does look good in that suit. :)
I love this man :) He is so lovely :)
he just seems like the funnest person to hang out with. and he has the dirtiest mind... hahhaa... when he was shouting "heeeelp!" and that rescue guy came in, LOL....
mate that mechanics toolbox was amazing
You're FIRED!!
Where do you buy mud flaps like that! they're cooler than rally armor!
what fun he could have with that suite and Scott i dont really want to know more lol :D
Anti-lag sounds so nuts on that rally car.
at 3 minutes, tiff predicts the future.
hes so cooooool xxxxxxx
Top Gear ... you're next in line ...
It was Scott ye.
HEY!! LEAVE JB ALONE! HE'S AWESOME!
Btw, Top Gear FTW
:O he kept his hands on the steering wheel when the car was rolling over
LOL at when he touches wood he knocks on the table then his head then his nob aha whole different meaning to wood ;)
pistons-10k,crank-5k,gbox-10k. do i need to continue
i agree
wtf does he have a ferrari badge on the rover ?
wow... i bet Tiff was pissed! Look at his face as they begin to roll.
prophetic.....
He looked pretty fast. . . before he clipped it and crashed.
Man, the prodrive guys must of been pretty damn angry.
lol, Tiff hangs on to the papers the whole time...
did he put a ferrari badge on the side of his range rover? lol
The car isnt badly damaged
OMG, he has a Ferrari badge on the side of his Land Rover diesel. What the hell ?
Well, I definitely would like to know... ;-)
yh it looks like scotty at 1:55
good thing that a had a role cage
If he was on Top Gear the scooby would be wrecked by a falling piano...

Enh, welcome one, welcome all, we could do with more rally fans.
This is why Top Gears so much better...
Doesnt look to much damage either??
i agree :))))))))))))))
"probably end up upside down in a ditch" ... Yes yes you did!
wonder who paid that bill..
someone remind me not to watch this the day before my test
ill have the car
he is really hot in that suit i must say
That guy would irritate the living daylight out of me.
I think the ferrari sticker might be more of a parody since he apparently knows what car he owns. And I really can't understand why it's so important. It's his car!
Poor Subie. Tiff should have been driving.
I would like to apologize for all other Americans. He escaped and got to the airport before we could stop him.
it's a sticker.
OMFG, these guy made a big mistake and he's still like
"Not my fault"
He even said
"We crashed"
Bull shit, Tiff had nothing to do with it.
he is agood driver so leave jb alone so what if he got a ferrair badge on is range rover
this is hilarious
He doesn't even know what car he owns, it's a Range Rover.
Probably because he owns a Ferrari as well? *shrugs*
He is not the 1st and wont be the last there!!
Thats what happens when you let an idiot loose in a 120K rally car.
5:07 What a stupid question
He looks a little like Tom Cruise and Scott Wolf of Party of Five. Interesting to learn that he's Scottish but sounds like a yank (yes, I know he lived there for a time).
He could pass for Tom Cruise with shades.
Range Rover with a Ferrari sticker...SMH
HAHA!!
This is why I hate Top Gear fanboys
This John guy is a tool, and I feel bad for Tiff for having to put up with him. I've ridden with people at tracks who "ran out of talent", and it's not fun.
as Tiff said ' he ran out of talent'
Barrowman should stick to singing & dancing
Such a child
I didn't watch it for John Barrowman. I stopped watching because of him. I feel sorry for Tiff for having to do an episode with that guy.
who's gonna pay for that? lol
poor suby :D
Subaru for lyfe... But this Impreza is the worst investment EVER. $164k USD is way too much for a car I can build for practically half the price!
I don't like John. I hope he is not a new addition to the team. I like Fifth Gear though. I like that Tiff,Jason and Vicki are all experienced and talented drivers first, and journalist second. It is hard for me to listen to Jeremy Clarkson speak of driving dynamics when I don't respect his opinion.
@lubritailoveyou Yes, John is a very happy person... oh wait, you're that lame homophobic... *tut tut*
tools...
lame actor dude..
Love Tiff
yeah more crashes!!!
it's always fun when u crash and it's not ur car
