walshie 2,804 Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 I've always been a fan of Top Gear. Not so much the individual presenters, but as a whole it normally keeps me amused for an hour. Last night though? A 10 minute segment of Clarkson and May driving old Peugeots slowly round and clipping the odd kerb and taking corners wide. Really? Is that all the BBC can come up with in primetime viewing? I suppose after all these years they really have run out of ideas. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

marshman 7,757 Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 Thought exactly the same thing whilst watching them last night . I think they realise it as well that they've done pretty much all they can do with the format . Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mackem 26,264 Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 I think clarkson and his team are a bit more savvy than given credit for "Top Gear" is a TV institution worldwide,the chinese have a version which is boring as f**k in comparison to the BBC's,maybe they have just hit a dry spot but I am certain they will be back on top form and in top gear 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gaj1612 99 Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 used to watch it all time dont bother anymore, although i did watch last weeks and thought it was ok apart from the landrover bit, all they managed to do was test a winch and not show the capabilitys of a classic landrover, could have been made a lot better. also cant stand hammond.

The Seeker 3,048 Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 Say what you like but Hammond had some big balls to go up that dam suspended on a winch I know I wouldn't have done it that's for sure. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mushroom 12,882 Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 That hammond has been through some shit, self inflicted mind I read his book and was impressed at the man's resolve tbh. As for Top Gear .... Tip show but I am easily amused 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hedgerow pete 25 Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 lost interest a few years back now, fifth gear was great and the classic car show with quinton is the best one at the moment Quote Link to post Share on other sites
