Top Gear

Poor show on the whole, as it was recorded I even skipped some of the boring waffle during the stunt driving feature.

+1 wasn't great last night

The Corsa/Panda review at the beginning was probably the best bit. Nice to see something about cars that are affordable for normal people.
I'd agree on the price/image of the Corsa though, for £22k you'd want something with a bit more class. You're certainly into Golf GTI territory there.

The star in the reasonably priced car was ok, but Clarkson went a little too far with the gushing.

The stunt car chase.... I feel sorry for Ray Winston. The best bit was when they showed the final version that had been edited by someone who knew what they were doing.
I too was tempted to skip through some of this weeks show.

And during the "news", Clarkson saying he would shoot people in the head... just to prove the point that he can say what he wants and a give an opinion.

They did so well with the first 2 episodes.

I forgot to watch again and still haven't watched the previous weeks episode. Sounds like I'm not missing much

I thought it was quite funny! The fake russian accents, hilarious stunt video cut and the obviously scripted parts.

Admitedly its not much of a car show anymore but its still entertaining and I really like it

give it 6 months and the dealers will be begging to get rid of the corsa nurburgs sub 16k

A change of format is desperately needed, its boring and predictable, and greedy in a way that the program only lets the 3 of them actually do anything... The Stig is kept at arms length, as is any other input from anyone else, ie, no other guest presenters, ever!
Shouldn't be too long now, before the BBC kill it off... its no longer a "Great" program

Speak for yourself.
As BBC 2's top programme I doubt they'll 'kill it off'.

Over 2 million more viewers than the programme in second place.
Looks like Top Gear is here to stay

I wouldn't bank on it, the BBC are renowned for doing hatchet jobs on big budget programs. In the past, various programs have made the jump to ITV, or other stations, only to be abandoned after a few runs. And also in some instances, the likes of ITV have bought the rights to a show, then soon after, it falls out of favor with the viewing public... nothing is safe!
