No, and ive stopped watching it since the newer presenters came on the show.

Clarkson thinks hes a comedian not a presenter


"Its got about as much flare................ as a wellington boot"


OOOk then

If you watch it for actual info on cars then you'll be disappointed IMO... Don't mind May and Clarkson but Hammond pisses me off because it seems like he thinks he's untouchable after he smashed up that Jet Car and the whole of the UK supported him through it. He looks like a penis with that ridiculous hair these days too.


Cheers,
Grant

It's the same old shit on passionford every week!

If you don't like Top Gear, don't bloody watch it!! Grumpy old buggers

What do you want it to be? Less funny, like Fifth Gear?? Oh that's right, you all moan about that too

Personally I think it's hilarious and will always be watching it as long as it's on.

I'd like him to drive it sedately around town, observing all laws. I'd probably be aroused by them parking up or perhaps going through a drive thru'.

would just like a 'general' opinion on the cars instead of their own 'blinkered' opinion..

it wasnt the car reviews i was on about to be honest! they spend more time AND money fookin about on useless projects that dont proove a thing to anyone..

take tonight... would you have been pissed off stuck in all that traffic whilst they fooked about with that electric garage door?
If clarkson had been stuck in the traffic he would of had something to say about it im sure? but whilst he is doing it its ok?

Exactly! If for some reason they had a 2wd saff on the show and they pootled about town in it all the moaners would be complaining he didn't have it sideways!


When Eric Bana was on last week and they were talking about that car film he's in, they never mentioned Jeremys in it quite a bit!

I watch it and will probably watch it for as long as they keep making them. But I was a miserable bastard about the last series too, and don't think much has changed, it's more like a pantomime than a car show these days.

It needs a major re-vamp or something.

I watch it but tonight was poor, as said, same old shite but now more and more it is acted up, it is in danger of becoming what fifth gear was, a show for school kids.

They need to freshen it up!

It is more of an entertainment show now rather than a car show. The hour long format means they struggle sometimes with things to fill it. Be nice if they occasionally reviewed 'normal' cars that we common folk buy!

I think Top Gear is great entertainment. Just wish BBC America showed the latest episodes.

Always been a Top Gear fan but I agree the last 2, especially tonights have been utter dross for the brain dead. They need to find something new as it's the same over and over now. It's turning into Clarksons videos where it was good at the start but has ran it's course bar for the people that have never seen any before.

What do you want it to be? Less funny, like Fifth Gear?? Oh that's right, you all moan about that too

I agree, have not watched it for last two seasons because it became utter tripe. 5th gear is slightly better but no longer watch that either.
Why do some of you guys watch things you dont like, seems strange to me.

As with everything, some is funny, some is shit. Ginge hit the nail on the head though, Its more about entertainment than car reviews as the bbc know more people will watch 3 blokes acting like arses than a hardcore car reviews show. I like watching it, don't like it, then don't watch it. simple!
