Saw the advert..Good news...Suprised we didn't get a Christmas special this year...Perhaps they ran out of ideas........

I'm afraid I got a bit tired of the stupidity they got involved in, the odd few minutes of good quality cars was fine, but the rest was a bit 2nd rate..!!

 

[Parisien]

Has been for most of the last few series Rob...the odd flash of fun/brilliance.......

Great!

I did see the advert and I thought they got it back on track last series TBH.

Still think they need the cool wall back and make sure every episode has a review of a top fuel car, then they can p!ss about for the rest of the episode and I wont care.

I tend to agree. I prefer the 'serious' car tests and challenges but the stupidity seems to account for more and more of each series.

Still entertaining viewing though. And I guess lives up to Clarkson's view that he doesn't want it to be a car programme - he wants it to be an entertainment programme with cars.

I was going to post this....some great cars coming up.....the Ghibli is in there!!

 

[Parisien]

Excellent Dem......will be interesting to hear what the gassy one has to say.........

[safrane]

I can guess what they will say about the Ghibli...just what we have being saying...loosing its historic character in such of bigger bucks esp with a DERV engine

 

[hodroyd]

At least if they test a car, or two, you can forgive some of the other weird stuff, but it was getting less cars, more rubbish..!! Let's hope it's improved..??

 

[dem maser]

I have no idea what episode but they tested the car in the magazine as an advert for next months has it on the inside cover.....so it must be for the telly also

The format works to the wider non car community and sells well around the world. It has become a bit tired and isn't really a car show anymore but I will still watch it

 

[dem maser]

They sold out

I loved old top gear, 30 mins and all new cars reviewed

 

[Parisien]

They sold out yup......fame and greed....way of the world!

Same as Martin Lewis on his moneysavingexpert site

So this recent episode on BBC 3, they showed the MONO from BAC, I am sure I have seen that before somewhere, are these new episodes, or repeats..??

Repeats, Robert. The warm-up act ahead of the new series.

 

[Parisien]

BBC 3.......theres a channel and a half..............they do that all the time, cheaper than putting up a trailer

I thought the new series was starting last weekend, I must be wrong because I could not see it anywhere then..??
