Where is the Top Gear is crap thread?
Sunday night, hour or so after this episode of Top Gear and there doesn't appear to be a 'Top Gear is Crap' thread. Is this
because....
A. People who do these threads did the sensible thing and watched something else or
B. It was good this week.
Discuss !

Watched about 5 mins halfway through. Got distracted, forgot what I was doing and did something else instead 
The bit I saw was what we see every week - three blokes had to get a vehicle and do something with it. No idea if it was any good cos I didn't
see enough.

Top Gear is so popular that no one watches it anymore

Did anyone watch the banger racing program after top gear? Not sure what to make of the banger racing scene.. I used to watch (and enjoy) proper stock
car racing at Aycliffe stadium many years ago, but this was nothing like that.

Last nights was a total waste of disc space on the Sky + box!!
I'm guessing next weeks will be as bad, 3 idiots playing with bits of trees and falling in a river....

Top gear was poor. One of those "specials"
As for the banger racing, people entering with the sole purpose of crashing seems stupid and a complete waste of time to me

The Top Gear 'special' was absolutely awful. One of the worst I've ever seen.. So bad, I switched it off after 20 mins or so.
Utter tripe!

I also thought both shows were good. Though the banger racing was eye opening! I always thought it was racing with contact allowed, not lets go and
see how big a crash we can have.

Its An "A" for me
and the banger racing was a tad weird, and very Pikey driven plus letting 11 yr olds drive round a track, must give them the wrong message, so i
wonder how may of them drive illegaly on the road ?
At one point in the prog we see a younster move a silver van a few feet, so his father can open the rear doors
looked like a public road to me

Thats was probably spelt wrong, or had some grammer, that the "grammer police have to have a moan at

Top Gear was worth persevering with this week, just for the Horse Riding...

I couldn't get past the bit where JC was operating the boom and the typical 'chaos' ensued. Maybe if I'd not seen it happen
tens-of-dozens of times before...
I just found it incredibly unfunny. In fact, I found it irritating!
I've said it a few times before - they took a wrong turn about 10 years ago by deciding to focus more and more on contrived schoolboy slapstick.
They got it wrong. It hasn't worked. They've effectively killed a rock-solid winning-formula that was a huge success across the globe.
Great cars, beautiful camera work, and subtle natural 'guy' humour. All that's gone and although they can occasionaly retrieve it
for a short segment of the odd show, I don't think it will fully recover.
RIP TG.
As for Hammond... nah, I'll leave it as I'm irritated enough!

Not sure about the van, but he drove the car off a trailer and into the driveway - definitely on the road there.
If you accept that TopGear is now just an entertainment programme then it wasn't too bad. Obviously contrived, like apparently taking the wrong
road but strangely arriving at the pre-booked 'hotel', but interesting stuff about Burma. Like right hand drive vehicles but driving on
the right - made getting off the bus a bit sporty.

Totally agree and the banger racing programme wasn't much better either....
