25 mins in and it's a load of poo!

On the positive side - there's 35 minutes yet to run for it to get better!

scootz - 26/12/10 at 08:42 PM

40 mins gone... and it's got steadily worse

I'm off to watch some paint dry!

You haven't missed anything Jacko... that's an hour in and the TG bollockometer has now maxed-out a perfect 10.

I'm generally not a fan of the TG 'specials', but this one is especially dire! Very lazy and unimaginative programme making!

.... and on that bombshell....Goodnight!

James May on his crap auto box.

Many are called and few are chosen.
The last shall be first and the first shall be last, except for kickdown.


I laughed a few times

Bit like JC's Xmas videos....first one or two were a novelty (years ago) but soon get tiresome.....this was so evidently contrived (more so than ever) it makes me want to kick the telly.

Yawn.

it was very poor but mildly entertaining to bitch about how poor and contrived it was whilst on.

There were a few good lines, especially may on the autobox.

Got to agree it was crap,i switched off half way through bored stupid.

I think the programme is going the same way as JC Christmas video's,all he seems to do is take good usable cars and wreck them to bits,i hate to see cars/bikes etc being willfully damaged

Correct, and he gets a lot of (licence fee payer's) money to do it!

It's getting very stale, but is an easy programme for the BBC to produce alongside the rest of the old sh*te they feed us....

I fell asleep, may have been the influence of Stella but that was the worst poo i have watched of theirs, you could tell from the first few minutes when they were on the plane.

Well it wasn't the best one they have ever made but it wasn't that bad

RazMan - 27/12/10 at 01:04 AM

I know in recent years it's become more like a sitcom with cars, but when you accept that, it's quite funny. SWMBO and I had a good chuckle at JC & RH 'disguised' in Berkers

I think they only put it on so that people can moan about it, they should put a prize up for the first moan post..

scootz - 27/12/10 at 01:14 PM

And a prize for the inevitable 'defending the indefensible' post!
