Thought last nights episode was a bit crap tbh, worse one I've seen in a long time.

If they'd thrown James Blunt out of a window and in front of a truck for real they'd have done the world a favour.

I actually like James Blunt, can't stand his music but he's got a great attitude and a good sense of humour, I'd rather they threw clarkson out the window.

They where properly ringing that little Fiesta's neck around that nice road. So much so that I wondered whether they had a tame stunt man doing the driving. Looked fun though.

Other than that it was pretty crap. Having a guy on twice that isn't even remotely interested in cars seems silly.

Bit with Chernobyl was pants, though I did like the concept of trying to maximise fuel consumption. I wondered if there was some reason Hammond couldn't / wouldn't go there though. Related to his crash? Or desire to remain fertile?

They have stuntmen and racing drivers do a lot of the driving for them. It's not just the bits with the Stig. Probably makes the insurance cheaper for the BBC. They just edit in bits of the presenters in the car. The BBC put out a cleverly worded statement when this came to light to say that the presenters are driving in all the clips where you see them driving. But for lots of the footage you cannot identify the driver so that means that for the 'pick up' shots as they are called, it can be a pro.

While talking to my dad about the program my son come out with "yeh you can get a coach trip to Chernobyl"
Oh how my dad and I proceeded to nearly p!ss our pants with that piece of comedy gold, even went so far as to call him a Pratt.

Then I went on the Internet . . . Apparently you can go on a Chernobyl coach tour . . . I take it back son!
