I thought the Robin Rocket was great... I won't complain about paying my licence fee for the rest of the year now!!
As for "Car Magazine Programme" - I think you'll find the reason the 30 minute old style Top Gear was scrapped was because nobody watched it. Now it draws millions of viewers every week.
Oh, hand on - we'll get the whole "BBC2 is aweful now its appealing to the lower classes! Where did ones fine art programming go? Can't possibly have programming on BBC2 drawing more than 10,000 veiwers" next.

Damn, missed it!!
Anyone know when it's repeated??
My two cents: I like it, although I do acknowledge that these days it's more about the presenters and the stunts than the cars. I do find it very entertaining though, so I don't have a problem with this.
Realistically, we have to accept that the old style of TV car mag wasn't working; viewing figures reflected that. I would, however, be sad if there wasn't at least one feature in the show that consisted of a proper review/group review of cars. So far, with the exception of the USA episode that hasnt been the case though!
