Am I the only one who thinks TG sucked last night?

TG is so bad this season. It's been on its way down for a few seasons now, but last nights was just appaling. The "star in a car" (which is always tedious at the best of times) was deeply cringworthy, the "M3 Vs. Audi" sketch was mildly interesting in a "what's the RS5 like?" even though they didn't really go into it in any detail and the bit with the combine harvester was just... well... what can I say? Abysmal?

I'm just sick of the overly scripted "oh-oh... we've just accidentally run a building over, crashed into a car, set someone on fire" and so on. It was mildly amusing several seasons ago (even if it was, despite what Clarkson insists, so transparently scripted that you knew exactly what was going to happen at any given moment) but now it just smacks of desperation.

My review? 1/10. They only scraped a point for the 30 second "review" of the RS5. The rest was dreadful, just dreadful.
