Apart from Jenson, what a load of crap.
I love Top Gear but i ended up watching the Crankys at xmas for christ sake.
Sorry for you guys recording it, but very disappointed.
ATB Dan.
I thought it was pretty funny
Yep I love TG too and it's the only way I can justify in my head the license fee but that was just crap. Like a mixture of two past shows and last episode's was just a copy too. Rubbish Gear!
It's never any good anymore, but it's still the only car program that I watch!
Thought it was great, a good laugh on a freezing cold Sunday night. 
I think how funny you find it depends on the company you watch it with.
Me and my 8-yr-old laughed like drains 
bah ,
VOLVO POWER !!!!!!!!!

Not only Volvo power but V8 twin turbo Volvo power.
Would have been funny if the boro footy fans had done a red neck replay on them
Was good, but they should have shown us some more of the BMW art cars, I wanted to see the Warhol M1.
You can actually justify the lisense Fee?
There was a time when I wouldn't have dared to say anything detrimental about TG
on here for fear of being shot down in flames.
The last time I watched part of an episode they were in Dover harbour and IMHO it's
a pity they didn't sink without trace. Thankfully my TV has an off button.
I gather from posts on here though that opinions are changing?
At least the likes of Penny Mallory, Tiff Nedell, and even Mike Brewer, etc. etc. (speeling)
do know the difference between a Turbo and a Turbot.

I think the difference now is that you watch it absolutely knowing the whole time that the cockups are scripted.
Cockups are fine if they happen spontaneously.
Planned stupidity has to be well crafted. "we're going to pretend to crash a 6 series" doesn't really work for me.
Don't get me wrong, I'll continue to watch, but the track stuff or the bits where it genuinely goes wrong are what works best for me.
The overtly contrived stuff is now worn threadbare.
I'll continue to watch though. The noble bit was good as was the news.
I agree with Zilspeed, it's all so scripted and their 'cock-ups' are so damn predicatable and mostly cr*p.
I used to be a major fan but this season has certainly turned out to be somewhat of a let-down 
Still, certainly beats most of the pants stuff on TV lately, so I don't watch much now anyhow. (more reason to be in the garage )
Our TV only gets switched on about 4 times a week nowadays and I've been watching Quest on freeview as they have Mark Evans building stuff. I
don't like him but the machines aren't bad. I can't hack anything with Tiff Needell or Vicky, they love themselves enough not to need
me as well. I watch TG on iplayer when I've got nothing else to do for an hour and usually find something I appreciate in it.
We seem to have this same discussion every week now when someone puts the "TG on now" thread.
TG is getting increasingly crap. I think they have run out of ideas and they need to call it a day.
Next weeks sounded like it might be a bit more interesting with a drive across south america
Agree though the last 2 shows have been pretty poor.
I will always watch the show but i turned off 15mins before the show ended i was more bored than watching james may's toy show crap. m600 was cool though
im with flak last few have been poor, best one was the scooters in vietnam
They don't need to call it a day, they need fresh blood and to stop dicking about so much, TG comes across as so scripted that even the
intresting bits can't be believed.
What they really need is more consumer infomation.
