Top Gear - Page 4

Enjoyed last nights show..had me laughing lots. The thing that detracts from it for me though is that it's made to look like it's all just happening but you can tell it's scripted...just annoys me a bit. Entertaining though.

And I guess that's what Top Gear has become...an entertainment show and not a car show. And that disappoints me a bit.

It was good fun but I also wished they'd reviewed a car or two. I wouldn't have particularly wanted them to review affordable cars (if I wanted to see reviews of cars I could afford I'd read it online, not that I can afford any anyhow

) but would have been nice to see them review something, even if it was something I could only ever dream of owning

I like the comparissons they do. I'd love to write to them and ask them to see how fast my car could go round the track

It is an entertainment show more than a car show now, well it's a motoring magazine really - more cars please!

I'd like to see a new feature..."Joe Bloggs in a reasonably priced car". I think it would be great

I'll be the first to admit I have no idea about cars, but I likes the look of them and the noises they make, but Top Gear is really good entertainment.

Agreed. I love the aesthetics of cars, not the engineering. Last weeks episode makes me want to sell my Corsa, buy something fun and drive to Europe. I'm seriously considering it too. However this weeks doesn't make me want to turn it into a boat

Bloody good tv though.

Yeah - or a member of the audience etc...

Is it just me or do they seem to get all the better looking female members of the audience and get them to stand at the front so that they are in camera shot behind one of the presenters?!

Tak · 15-10-2007, 14:01

Of course they do!

I love the challenges, no matter how staged they are. It's a great dynamic how Hammond and Clarkson are eternally at conflict, but team up to rip into May.
