baw 4,360 Posted February 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 Bits of the challenges are but the off the cuff stuff is good. Like the caravan one, obviously the fire was set up but may hitting the bollard looked real and was funny. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Malt 379 Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 The whole wrapping the car thing was funny. Taken to far with the "lost the keys gag". Would have been funny enough to just let then get on with it. Then the bit where they couldn't catch Clarkson and blew him up with the dynamite....ffs him driving about pretending he never knew where they were. Just get the supercars on the track a get them tested and get the challenges on the go. Although even most if them are set up i think. They had their budget cut a few years back, think that's why we're getting a lot more of the arsing about stuff - it's cheaper to make.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Still must be some budget though eh....they don't half piss some money up the wall. I'm sure they will get these super cars on a freebie...if not I'm sure they will rent it and slate it....

Westy76 546 Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 Most cars are given to test and merc have a track at Dunsfold,I'm sure top gear is sold worldwide so that's some advertising. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gnasher16 29,678 Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 Like anything else the very thing that makes something popular usually ends up being its downfall !......If the program concentrated more on cars than the silly b*****ds in front of the camera it would be a far better show......they were good in small doses but nowadays the program is more about them than the cars you can see idiots trying to be funny anywhere .....just show us cars and stop trying to make every sentance funny ! 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mattybugeye 884 Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 Yea was all very staged didn't think 1st episode of new series would be that bad And I agree the police chase bit was shite I love top gear but that was boring Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dytkos 17,536 Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 Worst one I've ever seen! Sky plussed it and watched it after lamping. What an anti-climax. The 80's hot hatches thing could have been done in 15 minutes instead of stringing it out for most of the show. Shite! Cheers, D. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
