Top Gear

[Omag 2.0]

That's what i was pointing out... I missed the whole deal about Jonathan Ross and the daft-looking guy who's name I can't remember, but I saw the effect it had during the BBC-news last week.

I'm still convinced Topgear will get more complaints about the burning of the Porsche GT2 laptime...  ;D

I watched TG again tonight on my laptop and overall, I enjoyed the programme.

But I feel it would have been better if instead of wasting all that money (UK BBC Licence fee payers!) smashing up trucks it would have been more entertaining and factual if they all signed up for LGV training passing the theory hazzard perception test and then the LGV driving test itself.

And, they should have done some reversing! - Hill starts are easy in an empty rig, believe me! - All of them are used to all kinds of exotica yet they can't pull away on a hill? - Balls! - and this is where TG imo fails.

TG has so many good ideas, but executes them poorly imo.

Alas, as James May said on Mondays "Simon Mayo" show on BBC Radio 5, "Top Gear is an Entertainment show" I am undecided if its better or worse for it.

Top Gear does not really cost anything at all. It is only limited because of the perception caused by the "outrageous use of my license fee brigade". The show is sold to just about every country in the world. It probably brings in more money than the license fee ever could.
