I thought it was ace!

Doji is just judging it by the same levels of exictment he gets from watching WWF Smackbitch/Rawsteak/Evolution7.....


Maybe if Clarkson picked up Hammond, swung him round his head a few times, then slammed him onto a blatantly soft matress sat on top of 2 loose bits of plywood so it makes a 'bang' noise when Hammond lands, then climbs to the top of a lighting post, and jumps off landing on either side of Hammonds torso, just so it looks like he landed 'on' him, but infact never touched him (thank god for the 'bang' from those bits of Plywood)....

May could then run on, and smack Clarkson around the head with a totally obviously fake chair.........

And they could all wear really short shorts

Maybe THEN, Doji would get a kick out of it.

Its one of the few programmes that makes me laugh out loud, and love watching cars regardless of whether its scripted or lame or whatever!

Last night was pretty funny.

I watch it, simply because I have for the last 15 odd years.

and that's the answer i was looking for

we've been watching it just because it's routine, and they have been manipulating it into less and less of a car show and more and more of a boys toys show
what happned to the serious stuff?
it's been relegated to the magazine so that hey can do the exciting stuff on the telly, where it makes more sense

marketing genius that they shouldn't let slip away

and, the same way as vince used to only bring out his big guns once a month, it's because we onyget 10 or so shows a year that we sit there and watch it with the excitment that we do

give us what we want, just don't give us too much so we'll be sick of it and overdose on it and it's a happy status quo, we want it, they make us wait for it, then we watch it
and even if we bitch about it, they know we'll still watch it next week, and the week after and the week after that as well because we've got to get out fix of clarkson

I don't watch it because it's routine - I find it an amusing TV show that I enjoy watching. Sure it's not like the Top Gear of old where it was ALL about testing new cars, car reports on stuff like which is the best hatchback for a family of 5 with a dog, or going to car shows and reporting....

THANK FUCK! Cos that's boring as shit! Thats what magazines are for - to read about new cars whilst sitting on the bog loosing weight!

Top Gear is a humourous (sp), amusing show, witty, funny, and the subject line (loosely) is cars, which is another thing all of us have in common....

I don't know why anyone would watch something they don't like just cos it's routine! You watch stuff you like, and you don't watch stuff you don't like - simple.
