Top Gear Is Shite
- Thread starter lux
- Start date
I said the exact same things a few weeks back and got a total slating saying "don't watch it then," "no ones forcing you" and you can imagine the rest of the tirades.
I still love it but some of the daft pranks they did, just killed it for me...
Todays episode I actually enjoyed and to see my f1 man Webber was best yet. Good luck to the guy in Porsche racing..hopefully he doesn't have another Seb as a team mate.

I loved it!
Admittedly the bus bit was a bit stupid and dull but where else are you going to see a bus race around a track?!
It stopped being a car show 10 years ago... Its now just 3 idiots messing around occasionally with cars!!
Its a bit like an idiot abroad! Not too factual- but seriously funny; with good scenery!

Agree. I like it.
Also agree it's more entertainment that factual. I'm not that interested in seeing a program that gives detailed road test on, for example, a VW UP mind!
I also like 5th Gear but I have to record that because I usually end up forwarding most of it. The last series was good mind.
what about the programe on German cars afterwards ??? 
:wink:

Horses for courses really. I really enjoyed the RR sport and F-Type clips, Mark Webber's interview & lap and the Engineering piece....pretty decent easy to watch, entertaining Sunday night TV imo.
and a little bit of tomfoolery is good sometimes. Everyone seems to be so po-faced these days.
Its not a programme to get worked up about :wink: Its just light entertainment and brill as far as I'm concerned, cast your mind back to the Quentin Wilson days and how dull it used to be. Always love their experimental pursuits, the hovervan, best for me was the Renault Espace cabriolet etc. Its become a bit of an institution and hope it carries on

I don't mind it when they set up races and challenges and situations to look real even if they are fake but recently
it's all looked so contrived. That trial bike racing some parcour guys through BBC centre was appalling. It was obviously all set up and choreographed, but done in a way where it was supposed to look spontaneous. The worst piece of telly I've seen for years.
Also that taxi race was totally unbelievable.
I remember when May And Clarkson had to make an advert for the new VW Scirocco a number of years ago.
It was brilliant TV no matter what genre it was.
