Idle Banter For non SV and non bike related chat (and the odd bit of humour - but if any post isn't suitable it'll get deleted real quick). There's also a "U" rating so please respect this. Newbies can also say "hello" here too. |

Well, duh!

Please tell me no-one is actually surprised. Or more importantly, bothered. It was set up for comedy value - surely nobody actually believed it was real? |

Re: Well, duh!
I don't get it,
If no-ones complained why is it news? BBC running short of things to report on? Top gear have apparently admitted staging it - in response to what? The article doesn't say. It also says it's not the first time they've been accused of staging events - have they been accused of it this time, and by who? The article doesn't say. Very poor journalism and probably just an attempt to whip up some publicity now that the series is over. |

 Lets be honest, Top Gear is no longer an informative program about cars, it is a show for petrol heads who love speed, Clarkson's self made Caricature of himself and the two smiling idiots. I know this because this is why I love it. Shame that Clarkson rags on Bikes so much, but then his character has to do so.  Clarkson the man is probably a nice bloke, when he is not being the TV show host/git!

Re: Well, duh!
The BBC new have adopted a dumbing down way of presenting the news, they pitch it this way because they assume we're all stupid.
Gone are the days of proper reporting and being informed by the news.
