How good was top gear tonight??


morcus - 2/8/09 at 08:16 PM

Good. Cool to see Leno as star in reasonably priced car.

I liked the funeral ad


Barronge - 2/8/09 at 08:21 PM

Pretty poor ending though


omega0684 - 2/8/09 at 08:36 PM

is it episode 7 of series 13? here

he says its the last in the series


Mark Allanson - 2/8/09 at 08:38 PM

Not poor, just accurate and depressing

UNLESS WE DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT

It was peaceful, yet powerful. Just a quiet reminder that cars like that will one day be a thing of the past...

brian eno ftw

I for one, think that was the last episode of topgear... The last film was just so defeatist?
Hope I'm wrong though

Be a shame if it was the last TG ever. For the first time for ages they made a program that was actually good.

The final section was beautifully filmed and ironically styled as a car advert.

clarkson did say himself that that stig is needed back in november for testing cars round the track.


thought it was a pretty poor episode myself.

Dangle_kt - 3/8/09 at 06:35 AM

bassett - 3/8/09 at 07:52 AM

I almost feel asleep in the advert section!


Dangle_kt - 3/8/09 at 08:38 AM

Didn't like it.


Vindi_andy - 3/8/09 at 09:14 AM

There's always Dave


DaveFJ - 3/8/09 at 11:05 AM

I also got the distinct impression that we will not see another series...

the budget for this one seemd very low and is it just me or was the series very short?

sad to see it go but i think we have seen the last of it and think that is what Jezza was hinting at with the daft ending.


blakep82 - 3/8/09 at 11:10 AM

apparently stig is to drive a 1970s F1 car (looks like JPL) and series 14 is to start end of oct


DaveFJ - 3/8/09 at 11:15 AM

maybe it's Jezza thats off then.....

Was meant to be 13 episodes but the budget was cut this year so only 7 episodes


mistergrumpy - 3/8/09 at 01:12 PM

Bloody BBC again! Why would you cut funds to the channels most popular programme but keep funds for other rubbish like strictly coming arsing with dead beat 'celebrities' and other crap. God! Come the revolution

I've just watched this after being on hols for a week. It seemed very strong that either TG is finishing or Jezza is off. An odd ending to the series.

The filming blog stated they are off to film the next series - so no it's not going anywhere...
