I liked how clarkson took a dig at the india special, at least they know they did bad!

I enjoyed the latest ep, can anyone tell me why often on TG the lights on cars seem to be flashing? In the snowy bit in this ep both the front and rear lights on both cars appeared to be flashing on the slow motion sequences, why does that occur?

Some LED displays are multiplexed which means they are flashing on and off in a way that is not discernible to the naked eye and produces no visible flicker. However when the LEDs are viewed on TV they aren't in sync with the TV frame rate and as a result appear to flicker. It's like watching wagon wheels on an old western movie, the wheels appear to go backwards or forwards depending on how they sync with the 24 frames a second rate of the film, it's the same with the flicker of multiplexed LEDs and 25/30 frames a second TV pictures.

Ahh I see, I didn't realise some LEDs did that, cool thanks

Poor episode IMO. I'm really starting to dislike JC. He needs to move on.

Not a bad episode, though I missed the first 15 minutes.

I'm just bored of the super cars, they keep talking like any man on the street could afford one, when in reality none can!

I'll never be bored of the supercars, if I wanted to see cars that any man on the street could afford I'd look at them on the streets... Or Fifth Gear 



I liked the blonde audience member who was standing behind Doctor Who during his interview

I didn't think it was a bad episode actually, not mind blowing but interesting and entertaining none the less.

Not a bad episode tonight, I couldn't see hamster in his last link... think there was something in the way but couldn't quite make it out
