top gear

[conad]

does anyone else who is watching the new top gear think it seems to be a bit too 'scripted'

[nova1.2sr]

yh lol

[JSeymour]

commercialized and cheesey!

audience is bigger too with lots more gold digger sluts that brobaly know f all about cars!!

[Geth]

Yeah, the audience is a lot bigger, but I remember reading on their website last year that they had to increase the audience size becaue the waiting time to get on there is about 3 years.

[Christ]

ha laughed out loud at jeremy saying jamie oliver looked like special needs.

[draper]

i thought it was just as funny as ever, with clarkson taking the pis out of hammonds accident

[Philsutton]

its always been scripted, still the only thing worth watching on TV by a long way

[Asa-James]

"when i push this, it has 10,000 bhp, which could turn out to be the worlds biggest car crash"

well said hamster!

[captain ash]

I found the roadwork thing that took up half the show slightly boring, but I'm sure it will get better next week :D

[Jack]

Its always been obviously scripted, and yeah the roadworks thing was a bit crap, but hammond's crash was quite entertaining

[Jim Mcrae]

didnt mention many cars did they, only the XK R. Still funny though, jamie oliver wrecking the reasonbily priced car lol

[hightower]

yeah its scripted and audience has increased from 200 to 400 ppl, roadwork thing was quite funny i thought should try playing music more often!

[Dave.]

i liked the bit when james took clarksons megaphone n threw it under the roller

then jeremy took james's fich n chips n threw em unde rtoo

also liked it when hammoned said "can i have cod and chips.................5 times" lol

[Donova]

Thought it pretty good myself,the roadworks bit showed things can be done quicker,some roadworks go on for years without apparent reason:roll:

[Stuart]

the usual scripted soap box for clarkson to keep in the public domain so he can keep writing for some newspaper....

twas amusing when the XKR was on and the gf said "you could have had one of those instead of buying the vx and a house" lmao... i wish, if only cars didnt depreciate...

[wisewood]

just buy "the right car" Stu, problem solved lol

I thought it was a pretty good show. The whole show was scripted around Hammonds accident really, but lets face it as accidents go it was a good one.

Whats wrong with a scripted show? It's also pre-recorded, is that a bad thing too? lol




It’s business as usual this week on Top Gear.
We perform a public service by smashing a really big train into an aging French people carrier. Trust us, it’ll all make sense when you see it.
James makes the definitive bid to rid himself of his ‘Captain Slow’ nickname, by attempting to max-out the 252mph Bugatti Veyron at Volkswagen’s top secret test-track.
An A-list Hollywood star comes to our studio and has a ride in our distinctly C-list reasonably priced car.
And Jeremy, Richard and James try to decide on the best small coupe by taking the latest offerings from Audi, Mazda and Alfa Romeo to two of their natural habitats – a design museum and a golf course.

[conad]

alright then, put it another way. Of corse it was scripted (not many programmes arent) but it just all seemed like they were tryin to 'act' too much, it didn't 'flow' like it used to! lol

[mowgli]

Come on folks, the whole show was treading water until they showed the crash thing any way. Its the only bit we wanted to see....

[Adam]

You can definently tell Hammonds had a difficult last few months, looks paler etc.

[Dar]

I thought it was just the same as always. I love watching the program. My wife reckons Hammonds eyes have got bigger since the crash lol

[Lee]

James makes the definitive bid to rid himself of his ?Captain Slow? nickname, by attempting to max-out the 252mph Bugatti Veyron at Volkswagen?s top secret test-track

That i HAVE to see!!!!!

[wisewood]

The pic of him on bbc.co.uk/topgear clinging onto the steering wheel with his fat little face squished into the helmet is quite entertaining.

[wisewood]

You can definently tell Hammonds had a difficult last few months, looks paler etc.

I think he's lost some weight... does look pale and a bit tired maybe. He'll get back to his old self eventually.

[scott.parker]

Well i was working downl london and finished work just in time to get back and watch it so i was happy just to sit down and enjoy tv after working for 15hrs on a fecking sunday lol...

And i found the road repair part ace as its just down the road where me and my band use to practice..

Scott

[Matt2107]

Hadn't read this post incase It gave too much away about the show.
Managed to catch up and watch it last night.

Thought it was Ace... who cares if it's scripted... still bloody funny.

[dannyb]

Thought it was Ace... who cares if it's scripted... still bloody funny.

Too true, it also gave me an excuse to go round to a mates house and watch it and therefore not to watch Big Brother with the g/f. I'm so glad BB is over so my g/f can watch TG with me as I assume she enjoys it....

[cudaboy]

[chimp007_uk]

http://www.brandrepublic.com/bulletins/media/article/632286/top-gear-dead-cow-stunt-garners-69-public-complaints-/

funny as F**K... and maccy d's don't slaughter thousands of cows a year for people to eat...

[JJL]

Christ some people will complain over anything

[rdanny]

to be honest i half expected that

[Jack]

This made me chuckle:


The incident comes just two weeks after the programme was slammed for making light of car accidents, with coverage of Richard Hammond's crash condemned by road safety charities as "very irresponsible".

What did they expect? Them to sit around stone faced, watching the footage, going "oooh" and "aaahhh that must have hurt" etc? I hardly think a supercar ploughing Richard Hammond's head into the ground equates to your average RTA - especially since Hamster came out relatively unscathed. I know, tomorrow I'll give Jeremy Clarkson a laugh by tw@tting my jet-powered rocket car into the back of a Ford Mondeo on the M25 and dig my head into the tarmac.

Actually, I'm more surprised they haven't had a mass of complaints from Americans/Gays/Hillary Clinton/Country & Western fans. Or perhaps, God forbid, they saw the intention of the of the storyline, the humour in it!

I wonder if you can use the FOI act to enquire what demographic these complaints come from...

[rdanny]

they were funny those country western people, if not a bit out of order..

i mean you oyou want a vynal down your that states "i'm i big gay to33er" go for it lol..

was funny when clarkson said im not gay i am married with 4 children...
them promptly legged it saying "i just remmemberd iv got fuel" leaveing poor james to get a redkneck beating

[ade]

was funny as hell - though I must admit the cow bit was pretty sick.

couldnt believe the red necks bit - big moma chavving it up for a fight!

And you wonder why America is so fecked up when a hillbilly red neck's in charge of the feckin country!

http://home.nycap.rr.com/tomtomtom/hillbilly.jpg
BOI - I is gonna bag me sum hamstur n some Clarksoon and som Maaaay fow ma T - Might have tu bring out the gimp thou aforehand!

Momma - can thu gimp cum out ter play!?

[Matt2107]

Hammond looked proper scared.

[wisewood]

I was SOOOO gutted i didn't record it. Me and the brother-in-law were pi$$ing ourselves watching the drive through alabama.

[rdanny]

it'll be on youtube
