Pity they missed a trick with the tractors - no Thunderbirds theme!

Noted that too - will surely come up later in the series.

Agree that its a great entertainment show, not a serious consumer car review show - but if I want to buy a boring 5-door 1.6 I read Auto Express. If I want an hour's entertainment, I watch Top Gear.

I'm amazed it crossed the bridge tbh I really did think it would crash straight in.

The tracks probably distributed the weight over a greater area putting less pressure on the bridge..

When's it repeated again?

prospect

Some ****e called The General's War on BBC2 ????

unkel

Feck, it is usually wednesdays though, right? or am I going a bit mad?

I'd like to see how they got that tractor back out of the filed? That bridge was in some state after they all got in there!

As for the show i allways enjoy it because i treat it as light entertainment not a full blown fact based car review show. The mix works hence why it's in it's 9th season and is signed up for a 10th all ready.

mike65

I suspect I know the answer - there were two ways in. They used the wooden bridge for drama (remember Hammond took his tractor for a jaunt into the local village during the challange).

Top gear is such a loada contrived rubbish with three stupid Brits talking crap, even sometimes talking crap about cars also I hear. Here is the format ok what will we do this week. 1./ something stupid involving something stupid
2./ A race between Clarkson and the other two fools trying to be clarkson 3./ Something where we can be condescending to farmers or toffs or Welsh people or Germans or the favourite the french. (ya lads Britain will be great to tulips like ye around) Then we need to have the giggling like school children coz the thick muppets who watch the programme think that is funny, when we gigle that is!. Better even then that is that they get into trouble and have to run away with the camera panning across them legging it, oh jez how funny is that! Split my sides watching them. finally Clarkson will do the cool wall and say something about how short the short bloke is (mental ha ha ha ). Top gear was the best when it had quintin, tiff, and clarkson (without the free run he has now). Finally 'on that bombshell' they will say something about environmentalist and how stupid they are, roll on the V8 ha ha !... morons!

So, Top Gear was best when it was boring and sh1te? And three stupid Brits? I assume you know what the first B in BBC stands for?

:rolleyes:

mike65

So you quite like it then?

Some say he licks the sweat from rabbits ears, others say he registers on forums denegrating Top Gear, all we know is he's called the Stig.

I can't believe you didn't mention the Stig, Stig!

Top Gear was best when it was about cars. If I want to watch childrens T.V I will tune in to CBBC. Oh remember the time hammond drove to thru the village in a tracktor - god save us!!!! Just to let you know , he didnt drive thru the village in a tracktor - the researchers said drive thru the village which we will cordon off , the council has permitted this for 3 hours, and we will shoot that, we will put a few cars behind you and get them to look frustrated and then we will edit a close of you richard going 'I think I might have caused a traffic jam opps' - 'can you do that Hamster ' (hamster - what a shower of *****rs). Then he goes ' do I have to giggle coz that is not in my contract for this series' and then he giggles - ha ha ah! a8seholes. Meanwhile the long haired twat 'rule britannia and the french dont work' is back at the farm looking like the pri*ze pr*ck he is.

If it annoys you that much I suggest you watch something else...

Couldn't you just watch 5th Gear or similar instead? Do you watch the show just to get yourself worked up?

I actually agree that it has become less about the serious aspect of cars and more about the 'entertainment' value but it doesn't pretend to be anything else anymore. Launching a Robin reliant into the stratosphere (or close enough) was the most tenuous link to motoring you could imagine but still made great watching!

If you want a decent and serious show about cars try "Men & Motors" channel on Sky. There may be a decent one there or an older series of TopGear

You have way too much hate on board man

Mr Magnolia

Going to watch the re-run even though I seen it on Sunday










Also, don't feed the troll

Well if it is about entertainment, why is it listed under the motoring section of this site. The fact about it is that young morons watch this programme and come to the conclusion that speed and entertainment are one on one. And then head off out to do a few doughnuts (said with a steve staunton accent) . If hammond was killed in that accident it may have had a good benefit in showing young morons men that speed is not glamourous. Also the way in which these idiots had to pretend to make a joke of it was insulting to people who had lost loved ones. They panned the camera over to the small buck and said oh remember speed kills while he is sitting there smirking like teenage looking for a slap in the face.

I also see that long haired prat did a programme on wine where off he went to france and drove in a field (oh how funny) and met some south african wine makers in france and said you work here, well you mustint be french then. Same old story with the lanky juvenile clarkson did his rubbishing of europe and refused to pay a toll bridge in spain because he was british and some how said he already paid for it because he was british. The spainish guy shoulda told him to f*ck off back to britain and bring the rest of the costa del so l with him, but alas he didnt. morons!

And just to let YOU know, do you remember the opening scene of Pulp Fiction, the "HunnyBunny" scene in the resteraunt. Well that didn't really happen either :eek: . They got a bunch of actors, and a script and they acted out the whole thing!!!!!

There are lots of different types of entertainment. TopGear is entertainment based around motoring.

Must say I've been watching it for years (from my early 20's onwards) and never felt the urge to do a doughnut :rolleyes: Doughnut muppets don't need TopGear to think doing a nut is cool but if you want to blame TV for the ills of society, it's a long queue of fuddy-duddys who think they know what's best for everyone else.

They made light of a terrible situation, we all do that and the Brits are notoriously good at the Stiff Upper lip and laughing in the face of danger etc. They were obviously happy that he was well.

You obviously hate the Brits quite a lot. Me thinks this is becoming trolling now and I'm feeding you :rolleyes:

Do yourself a favour and take the chip off your shoulder
