What a load of tish again.
That's just what I said in post 15.
Their was a total lack of any useful content at all
, Those of you that think it's the best show on TV must have the intellectual ability of an Amoeba .I keep watching it week after week in the vain hope that it may show something that is of interest to normal people, Rather than week after week of them driving over priced over hyped super cars and building rubbish out of bits of scrap metal and sticky back plastic.
Hamsters hair gets taller and taller every week as he vainly tries to compensate for being a short arse, And the other idiot knows about as much about cars as my 6 year old daughter,

It was the weakest show for a while but I still laughed out loud a fair few times. When I spied 'Bowles-y' on the wall in the mood room I pissed myself. As Hammond has really short legs, why didn't they just hack 6" off the bottom of the plastic garden seat rather than add the extra roof (again, this made me laugh out loud). Eco Stig in his green sandals died (did a wee at this point). Clarkson with a cock on his face (genius). It stopped being a factual car show around 8 years ago. Now it's a glossy motoring(ish) magazine in TV format with 3 mates who get paid to dick around together.
If I ever found myself hating the show it would be because I wish I was getting paid to have so much fun, fannying about with cars I could never afford. But I never will, because the photography is fantastic. The locations they take the crew to are sometimes breath-taking. And the GT-R broke Clarkson's back when he got to the circuit in Japan. It's entertainment for blokes. When you can get your head around that, it's a hell of a lot more enjoyable.
5th gear is not the same thing. It wants to be Top Gear but doesn't have a) the budget b) talent (crew or presenters, and I mean that solely from the entertainment side, because 5th gear is stagnant as hell) and c) The audience (viewing figures are tiny in comparison to TG, and for good reason). If you like a certain show, watch it and support it. If you don't like a particular show, don't watch it then moan it's crap. You know what's going to happen and at the end of the day, it's just gonna be an hour your life you're wasting when you could be fannying around with cars I could never afford!

Have to admit that was painful to watch ... though I did enjoy the rest.
Agreed, mainly because of many happy hour watching Lancias on the RAC Rally (including the winning Fulvia of Harry Kallstrom).
James May's programme about space travel was MUCH better. Also Clarkson's programme about computers (Yesterday channel) was very good too. They can present a documentary very well, perhaps one day they will do the same for the car!

This week's episode was rubbish again!
Hopefully next Sundays extended Bolivia special will be better?......
Following on from Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May's previous adventures in Botswana, Vietnam and the Arctic Circle, this festive special begins deep in the Amazon basin in Bolivia. Equipped with second-hand off-road vehicles bought locally for a maximum of £3,500 each, the first challenge the trio face is to traverse the terrain of the rainforest to begin heading south-west on their journey to Chile. Along the way, they encounter drug lords and feel the effects of altitude sickness as they negotiate the region's roads, one of which is a notoriously dangerous 40-mile mountain pass dubbed El Camino de la Muerte - Death Road

Best was the African one !
But driving through the rain-forest - wouldn't it be better to spend the money and plant trees.........but then watching trees grow is only just more boring than listening to motormouth.

you hit the nail on the head .the last program was shit apart from bigmouth getting shot in the balls from the F1 car.if they did not spend so much time being stupid trying to be funny it would be more interesting.the bmw was funny but putting it in the ditch was just plain stupid !!!!!!!!!
