Top Gear new series

[BrilloPad]

Something worth watching for the first time sine Sherlock finished....

[The Central Scrutinizer]

Big boys rubbish. Sycophantic and uninformative tosh presented by 3 @rses who know f*** all about cars but totally overuse of unnecessary adjectives. Saw them when I did a stint at the BBC and my initial concerns were realised.

They are c**ks

Move on

Missed it, will be downloading on iplayer for later viewing

are they back on form? I've found the last couple of years to be a bit below par

I think it's had it's day.

There's very little info for a prospective buyer - just a lot of laddish (though, admittedly, sometimes amusing) hi jinx.


Personally I much preferred 5th Gear (is it still on?)

Always liked Tiff and Quentin.

Once you get what (New) Top Gear really is you will understand why that is the case

I thought the main feature went a bit silly by their own standards at the end - I'm a big fan of it as an entertainment show (it's not about cars) but the whole TGPD was over the top.

Very jealous about the supermarket though.

Hi GG,

That is the point of the show isn't it? And cars provide a broad structure that most other laddish entertainment shows lack. I can think of one or two popular slapstick, shouty laddish shows that I avoid like the plague.

Although I'll concede that last night's '80s hatchback trials got a bit too silly at times. I won't spoil it for Spacecadet by saying any more!

I suppose they find it harder and harder to come up with new capers.

They're funny characters though, and I still find the program enjoyable even though I'm not a motorhead and am utterly mystified why anyone, however rich, would ever spend more than £20K for a car (well OK, £50K tops).
