Isn't there something rather empty and joyless in that sort of humour?Pie 1 said:

Juvenile idiocy.
Top Gear these days is a total shite light entertainment programme with a bit about expensive cars thrown in amongst Clarkson’s grandiose and deeply irritating opinions, pointless jump cut photography and pointless loud music (including over voice).
Add in the bunch of `sad act` losers that masquerade as an audience (who the f*** are they and why do they want to do that?) who make the whole thing take on the air of Top of the Pops circa 1978 not to mention the utterly trivial and meaningless little adventures that are invented for Clarkson and his pals (who in fact are not without redeeming features) but who so obviously have to contractually defer to the great man and you should start to see why its not exactly my favourite programme despite being a petrolhead myself.
I feel that some time over the last few years Clarkson (Oh we are not worthy) began to believe his own press releases, we are now reaping the benefit.
EGO MONSTOROSO and an insult to your intelligence.
It would be nice to be offered a programme about cars and driving them. Hey Ho.
Do I watch it? Record it on Sky + then fast forward at x15 just in case there’s anything of any interest just like I do with F1 (well before Lewis anyway)
MOTO GP ROCKS

My dad videod an episode once that tested the Escort, Renault 11, Fiat Strada and VW Golf in a side-by-side test round Birmingham when it was done out of Pebble Mill studios to decide which one to buy. Quality
Now it's a entertainment show vaguely based around cars.

And to think I was just about ready to agree with you, and then you go and say something so unutterably stupid as that
Get me a fuckin shotgun
incidentally top gear is getting a bit shit nowadays.
All i want to see really fast cars on a sunday night that ill never own just before i wake up for work on a monday.
All these challenges are getting a bit tiresome for me. I thought they might have peaked when they sent the robin reliant into air. For me though it was the episode with the Veyron.

I couldn't help wondering when watching it how much tax payers money had been spent on that race.Wookey said:

I liked it, but I'd be fucked if I'd drive it on a public road, your chances in an accident would be less than zeroeditor said:

I tend to watch bits of Top Gear. Some of the features are good - the boat cars, some other historical features.
However the bits about super sports cars are all identical. Someone zooming around a track in car is all the same.
Also the schoolboy humour grates at times. It's claim that it is just cocking a snoot to political correctness doesn't really disguise the fact that the presenters don't really have much comic skill. They are the equivalent of the vaguely funny person in the office who does formula humour fairly well, rather than people whose talents make them worthy of national television.

It would make people drive a lot more safely though and put them on a more or less equal footing with pedestrians.beesonthewhatnow said:I liked it, but I'd be fucked if I'd drive it on a public road, your chances in an accident would be less than zero
And that's how it should be.
Recorded it and just watched it and one thought struck me all the way through.
I know the BBC are cutting back and having cuts but ........................ can't they afford to have a barber do something with Hammond & May's hair.
Jesus Christ, them two make Clarkson look positively well groomed and that's a first !

Todays was brilliant, i actually chaeered the ending when Clarkson pulled up in the Lancia.
