topgear !!!

[gsi pie]

how I laughed my head off at it tonight !!!

nova on its side going though super market!!

[Cavalier342]

Must admit, first episode didn't really catch up with me as well as the older series Was nice to see something half decent for a change until Hammond ruined it... Rest of it was shite. Looking forward to the truck driving challenge though.

[TurboDan]

loved it!

[btcctroy]

The nova was great made me laugh. Was the only one they didn't blow up

[Hayward691]

Novas at Beaulie!!! Had me in stitches!!!
Blowing them up at the end was a waste, but that's top gear I suppose...

The fun I had in my Metro mcdonalds trays work best!!! Lol

[James McGrath]

I thought it was completely stupid but very funny.

I can't believe it's still calcified as a factual programme.

[iancav6]

Yet another series of pointless pranks coming up.

[Hayward691]

Would appear if you want sensible consumer advise then 5th is the show...

[Cavalier342]

Would appear if you want sensible consumer advise then 5th is the show...

BORING!!!! All Fifth Gear do is bloody German cars..... And the presenters have no sense of humor... A few off the beaten track challenges here and there, but I find it boring compared to Top Gear and Top Gear USA

[James McGrath]

Yeah, fifth gear just don't have the presenters.

Tiff is ok, but the others I just find annoying.

[Cavalier342]

Funny enough actually what got me into BTCC was TOCA Touring cars games on my first PC, on TOCA 2, Tiff Needel did the commentary for the championship races. Always a voice to be remembered

[humbucker]

It had its moments, but the whole show is let down by how obviously staged it is these days. It was quite funny in parts but, ultimately, it was rubbish. The only non-prank related element to the programme was seeing how quick a new Seat can manage a hillclimb. I thought that they'd be caning/reviewing the Nismo GT-R or similar in between the prank stuff, but no. And Hugh Bonneville as the big 'star' for the opening episode of the new series? Really?

Even the 'hot hatch' test was a joke, on account of the fact that they'd bought dogs in the first place. Funny but flawed. Meh.

It's high time that somebody new was brought in as executive producer in order to shake things up. If the rest of the series (a poxy few episodes) is of the same fodder then the days of an entertaining AND informative car show on the tellybox are over. It's just the 'same old, same old' these days.

[Cavalier342]

I thought there was 7 episodes in this series? If there are 5 then another disappointment

[Cavalier342]

Next one is on in just over an hour, sounds quite interesting. Something to do with a golf course apparently.

[iancav6]

Much better effort this week, alfa and mclaren look superb, clip about afghanistan very interesting.

[Cavalier342]

Did enjoy the Army vehicles, very interesting.

[humbucker]

Couldn't be bothered with it this week. Tosh.

[James McGrath]

Anyone else notice the Blade Runner music during the McLaren P1 review?

[Cavalier342]

Now this is what makes Top Gear for me! Brilliant episode, looking forward to next week's finale.

[humbucker]

Yes the road trips are brilliant, although they go some way to highlighting how the rest of each series has become pure filler in anticipation of the main event.
