Really. I thought tonight's was funny. That bit with the cow's head was laugh out loud stuff.

Re: is top gear goin downhill ?
 

Tonights was pretty funny, don't often watch it meself but i thought it was pretty funny tonight :) Might watch a few more from now on!

Re: is top gear goin downhill ?
 

No,I thought it was pretty good,
Pitty you think it's crap since you've now got my tickets to go see the lads.

I really enjoyed last nights programme. Pure comedy value, had me laughing out loud several times:D

Re: is top gear goin downhill ?
 

It was funny - but it wasn't spontaneous (sic?).

It felt a bit like Vic & Bob's Big Night Out - every jokoe rehearsed 10 months in advance.

Would the BBC really allow them into a "lion/leopard/tiger" reserve with cars that had wood for doors or dead animals in the boot?
Would Richard Hammond have really decided to not take any weight off his car or was it planned?
Would he have then gone off on his own to cross a river - thinking the others would sink then sink himself?


Funny, but contrived.

I love it, had me creasing several times.......however...... Some of the things they do are stupid.

- Burning loads of crap on a fire, and no doubt leaving all the crap behind that they took off the cars.

- Making a damn mess of the salt flats, although they apparently had permission, the damage they did would take 200+ years to dissapear.

I'm no eco warrior complaining about clarkson every chance I get, but I sometimes think he take winding up th PC brigade to far.

+1 The current series has shown a complete lack of imagination, just repeating stuff they done before - with a bit of a twist.

Re: is top gear goin downhill ?
 

Nah, gotta disagree - Top Gear's one of the best things on the TV at the moment. It's certainly one of the only shows I make a concious effort to watch.

Re: is top gear goin downhill ?
 

I really enjoyed it, yes its contrived and yes they are repeating stuff, but its still hugely watchable.

I'd rather my license fee went on Top Gear than on another series of stricly come celebrity dance off acamdemy or whatever sh*t they keep showing on prime time BBC1 on Saturday nights...
