Re: Top gear
Top Gear has been unashamedly fake and pantomime for ages now, including all their crazy flying man/bmx biker/snowmobile etc. vs car style races, and 90% of the rest of the content. It's all staged pantomime for dramatic giggles, and scripted events. People who feel it's now too unbelievable, were either gullible before or are spoil sports now. There is nowhere for them to go except more extreme, otherwise we'd all be complaining it's dull.
I thought the car chase thing was hilarious. They make no attempt to portray it as even slightly real. It's just three blokes making a comedy car chase film, pretending they're being serious, while poking fun at all those unrealistic things we see in real car chase movies, with some top actors having a laugh at it too.
