Agreed. Enjoyed seeing the Nissan GTR on the track and Rowan Atkinson in the 'reasonably priced car', but the rest was a bit meh.

Shame he did not ask Rowan more about his car and truck collection as hes a real petrol head.
The train part was just a big waste of money and an excuse for them to clown about.

Like I tell my daughter .... It's a comedy and it's stage managed.. Some jokes you laugh at    some you don't   But must admit the last 15mins was WTF...  :scared:

I thought the train part was awefull and must have cost a fortune,and Richard Hammond is really annoying with his staged gags,made me laugh aswell with the drag race between the gtr and the jag clarkson saying the jag must win with the extra power but doesn't mention the 4 wheel drive system of the gtr and the fact it was wet

Its all gone very samey.

It needs a massive format change or they are going to lose viewers.

I still watch it, kind of in the background waiting for something decent to come on, but its still sh*t.

I am thinking that maybe some new, younger, presenters?

But what do I know.

Clarkson is boring... the pseudo alan partridge comedy is tedious.

Guys it's Top Gear FFS, take it for what it is... Makes me laugh when people moan and winge about how crap, staged, scripted it is blah blah blah, then continue to watch it week in week out..  :signLOL:
I watch it for a laugh and nothing else. Yeah some weeks are better than others, but what TV programme isn't..?  :confused:

Although some of the repetition/predictability is starting annoy me (fire in the caravan).
