Another funny, entertaining, but useless for anything beyond that episode. A discussion of a car almost nobody in the world will ever own. A track test of a car a few more, but still very few will ever own which turned out to be crap (according to JC), a luxury cabriolet that will probably be less popular than the Ferrari, a silly small thing (good comedy) and an implausible race. I get the impression that apart from supercar manufacturers, no-one will give them a car to review any more as they'll destroy it and its sales potential in under 6 minutes.

Oh yes and if they made is a serious car nerd program, the viewing figures would plummet.
It's ENTERTAINMENT with a few cars thrown in.
I find it hilarious and often informative.
Car nerds are what makes fast cars unappealing to many these days.
Lost count of the amount of nice kit being driven by some techie IT geek with a chip on his shoulder.

Loved the bit with the Peel, especially in the News 24 background.

I love the show - But - It is getting a bit too contrived. Last nights episode with the obviously scripted and rehearsed tampon and watch face incidents were a bit painful to watch, and I wish they wouldn't do it. They are presenters, and very good ones - when they try to act, they get shown up a bit.

For all those moaning about proper car reviews lacking in the current format of TG....
I caught a slightly older episode of TG on UKTV the other day, 20mins of James May test driving the BMW 5 series, followed by Clarkson driving a diesel Lupo around the M25............BORING !!!!!!!!!
Give me exotic supercars,give me silly childish pranks and give me genuine enjoyable television.
How many of you lot read EVO or equivelant, and how many read What car
If you want a consumer led car show then watch channel 5
