So what did everyone think of last nights show?

I hate to say it but I thought it could have been better. The truck challenge was ok. They could have done more than just destroy things :?

I normally love the kind of stuff they do though

Thoughts?

I haven’t watched Top Gear in something like a year. I found it becoming really repetitive and “dumbed downâ€

I also can’t stand the way Clarkson’s reviews follow this structure:

“This is car is fantastic, amazing, looks like sex….having said that I hate it”

Or

“This car is awful, ugly and horrible to drive…having said that I love it”
Lol, too true...

Well I thought it was an excellent episode. I was absolutely howling most of the way through it!!! :lol: :lol:

As an entertainment programme*, it has to be one of the best on TV :P

* I think it has to be looked at as an entertainment programme, rather than car review programme. As long as you know what you are watching it for, and don't expect anything else, then you've got to love it :wink:

Yeah I agree with the above. I dont watch it to get car reviews. The challenges are the funny bits.

Looking at it as a Programme to review car's it is probably crap compared to others.

But for sunday night entertainment it is absolutely fantastic!! Bloody hilarious some of it, couldn't stop laughing at the piano bit :lol:

Clarkson must be a right dick in person, but being on Tv he is entertaining as fook to watch.

as if Clarkson is getting done for saying the thing about lorry drivers been prostitute killers. wtf is this world coming too. 200 people complained, but i bet more than 200,000 people laughed at it.
