Top Gear (series 12)

So what did everyone think of last nights show?

I hate to say it but I thought it could have been better. The truck challenge was ok. They could have done more than just destroy things

I normally love the kind of stuff they do though

Thoughts?

I havenâ€™t watched Top Gear in something like a year. I found it becoming really repetitive and â€œdumbed downâ€

I also can’t stand the way Clarkson’s reviews follow this structure:

“This is car is fantastic, amazing, looks like sex….having said that I hate it”

Or

“This car is awful, ugly and horrible to drive…having said that I love it”

Lol, too true...

Well I thought it was an excellent episode. I was absolutely howling most of the way through it!!!

As an entertainment programme*, it has to be one of the best on TV

* I think it has to be looked at as an entertainment programme, rather than car review programme. As long as you know what you are watching it for, and don't expect anything else, then you've got to love it

tbh as gra said, but i think it was the best so far. really had me laughing.

when the micra fell out of the lorry

and when captain slow drove into clarksons lorry on that corner and disabled it

bear grills is still better. but thank god there on same channel

Yeah I agree with the above. I dont watch it to get car reviews. The challenges are the funny bits.

I just wasnt laughing as much as normal

lol
Still plently to come. The India episode looks good

Looking at it as a Programme to review car's it is probably crap compared to others.

But for sunday night entertainment it is absolutely fantastic!! Bloody hilarious some of it, couldn't stop laughing at the piano bit

Clarkson must be a right dick in person, but being on Tv he is entertaining as fook to watch.

as if Clarkson is getting done for saying the thing about lorry drivers been prostitute killers. wtf is this world coming too. 200 people complained, but i bet more than 200,000 people laughed at it.
