Top Gear BBC2 8pm Tonight

Only watched it to see the bike race, which was just as staged and scripted as the rest of the show. Got bored of it about 4 series ago...

+1 they don't seem to be able to make an episode without 'accidentally' setting something on fire or saying something controversial. 'Look i have a can of puss.y' for example. Oh look the lights went out, oh look the Christmas trees on fire, really? Used to be funny and entertaining now it's all a bit contrived.

And before anyone says don't watch it then, i didn't!

The porsche bit at the end annoyed me. It wasn't entertaining and as it pointed out, he does speak way too much about them. Some of the things they do on topgear really amuse me and I enjoy watching it, but that was just boring.

Didnt bother watching. They lost me after the xmas show. Shame really.

That bit bored me too, I was falling asleep at that point. Hammond only seems to talk about those Porsches, jumped up Beetles...! MUst be something to do with the size of them, makes him feel a tad more proportional Waste of a classic beetle too, chucking it through the sky like that! But this is Top Gear...Still enjoying the banter and the entertainment factor though, John Bishop was funny but there was no chat about the cars he has which is usually the interesting bit!

I dont think it was, I reckon it was Mexican built one, which they probably got cheap.

It wasnt the same beetle he did the initial drag race against the porsche in england with.

hope you're right Fizz

It does annoy me how many cars they smash or blow up etc though.
Like when they bought 'supercars' for 10k was it? They basically just ****ed them up completely. I sat there and thought to myself, 'Well there goes another 30k of the licence payer's money just for them to bugger up some cars'.

Just think if you pay your TV licence its your money that they're using to do it!!!

I do generally enjoy their Sh!te though...

Nice to see that a Bike is the 2nd quickest thing ever round the test track.
