Top Gear tonight

The Army recruitment ad was shite - far too scripted. Didn't mind the "race a letter" segment, but on the whole it wasn't nearly as good as the last couple of weeks.

Still... "Velociraptor Clintthrust." :D
 
Why is Richard Hammond trying to look like Marti Pellow from Wet Wet Wet?!

Also, I bet the Royal Mail press officer who thought up the letter race will get top marks in his annual review, for getting some good publicity ...

Given how nauseatingly fawning & sycophantic they were about the Royal Mail, I'd be very surprised if RM hadn't paid for the publicity...
 
last nights ep was a bit waek tobh but thought the final bit (with the military stuff) was just a showcase for the stuff the army drives. sadly for me all this showed is how bad shots the guys were.
 
It's not the hair per se, he's had long hair for quite a while, it's the hairspray he had used in last night's episode to make it stand out in an 80s/90s bouffant manner which was truly disturbing. Along with the New Romantic-style looooong shirt cuffs with about a million buttons on them. And the waistcoat.
 
It was a bit weak this week. Still, I don't suppose they can all be awesome.

Regarding Hammond's hairdo, I was watching some other programme* lately where the secret of his coiffure was revealed.
They had a photo of Jeremy and his wife and it seems that Richard is copying her bouffant, girly wispy hairstyle because he luuuuurves Jeremy so much.

*Buggered if I can remember what it was, now. Anyone know what I'm talking about? Or did I make it all up in my own diseased mind?
 
Despite some people here thinking I have some weird hatred of cars, I've enjoyed quite a few Top Gear shows but tonight's really was rubbish.

The military 'challenge' was so set up it bordered on embarrassing.

What!!!!!! you mean they were'nt really firing real rounds at Clarkson as he drove that Evo round the range????? :eek:;)
 
didn't hit the car many times did they ?

and why didn't May put superglue on the steering wheel ?

and as for the jackal ...ok for farms I guess ...... but whats the point of a COMBAT vehicle where you can kill the driver with a thrown brick ..... I know council estates in the top end of the valleys where I wouldn't feel safe driving around in that .....

You cant even use them on safari's ...bloody lions would 'ave you for lunch
and as for molotovs ...... there's toasty for you ... I really don't get it

and why didn't the beeb announce before the clip ...there now follows an army recruitment video

If they showed how well the 50 cals could hit the target there wouldn't have been a show. You don't blat off a whole belt like they did, the sod kicks like a bugger, even on a vehicle mount. You do short bursts, that way you keep on target.

Range safety is paramount, so there is no way he was near the vehicle when the rounds got fired (unless there was a bunker nearby to lay up in). Surprise, surprise another TG fix. I think the words shit, Sherlock, and no spring to mind. I was truely impressed by that Trojan engineer vehicle though, thats a tough and versatile bit of kit.
 
Theres a daft episode where Clarkeson drives a car off a landingcraft and it's wonderfully stupid. This was just utterly wrong. You know top gear is staged this was just a step too far and broke the illusion.
 
Well, much as I've thougherly enjoyed the show over the years, that was caste iron case for letting it go tonight.
They have quite simply run everything about the format, completely & utterly dry.

Anyone else think that Aston film was them maybe signing off for good?
 
nah they are back in novemeber i think.

it is getting a bit tired though, that advert thing was wank.

I reckon they need new presenters or something at the very least. All the gags are getting very old.

As much as I love them I think they need new blood. Not sure who should go. It would depend who was coming in. I don't think I would miss any of them for more than one week.
 
I don't think they need to change presenters. I think they need to do more RACES. That advert nonsense was nonsense.
 
Apart from the 1st ep with the train,car,motorbike race,it was a pretty lame series the ad thing was'nt very funny and just dragged.They need to go away and think about ways of freshening it up,Hammond's the presenter I'd like to see get rid of,but they wont do that cause he's cute and the girlies like him:rolleyes:
