Top Gear New Series

The Mail hates the BBC more than Muslims.
I bet it was quite difficult for them to decided whose side to take on this one.

 

I didn't, and neither did the rest of my family, so it got a big laugh. Should have seen it though.

 

I was kind of underwhelmed. I thought it was the weakest of the specials so far.

If only.

 

It felt that way too, much as I enjoyed it.

The formula is still ok by me, three blokes get a budget, buy some cars, then test them. Just need to find the right combination of cars and location.

Three jeeps in South America or three touring cars in Germany worked ok, three American "classics" in America worked very well

 

If anyone cares info on this weeks ep, which the BBC have decided is 16x01

I wonder what that is that Richard is sitting in...and I spot a Stig!

 

I think its a

Yay, new series starts in 15 minutes. There is a new Stig, he's gonna be in the white race suit. They should have changed colour like they did when the other stig 'died'.

 

There's too much merchandise with the white-suit Stig still to sell...

video from the boys.

 

Probably, but I still think a red Stig would have been cool!

 

Fabulous episode! Each had his own film and they were all entertaining. I just wish I knew who the star was.

 

I love Top Gear and really enjoyed last nights show. There is something about watching a Beetle falling at terminal velocity on a Sunday evening that makes one feel good about himself. lol.

 

Even if it was ripped off from a Mythbusters episode last year- still more proof that there needs to be a proper crossover.

The only problem with that is, at this point, they'd probably do it with TGUSA.

 

It was John Bishop, He's a comedian from Liverpool. He's quite funny. He's a vid;

If your from Britian I am surprised you didn't see his DVD advert on TV over Christmas. It was played loads.

 

He used to appear on Irish (and Northern Irish) panel shows a fair bit a few years ago because he hadn't cracked the British mainstream yet and it was the only way he'd get on TV. I rarely watch TV these days so I don't know if he still does it, but I imagine not.

As for Top Gear, it was a good episode, but I also wish that Stig 3.0 had been a different colour. Perhaps pink.

 

I've never heard of the guy.

 

I'd never heard of John Bishop either
