Default Top Gear returns in November
I know that quite a few of you appear not to like this, but I thoroughly enjoy Top Gear and am extremely happy it'll be returning in the middle of November.

(Just got an email asking to enter the 'lottery' to be in the audience so hopefully that will happen as well)

Cue the first comment about top gear being a waste of the BBC's money, ultimately the tax payers money, cue a thread hijacking about tv licensing being a con, cue the comments about the labour government.

Repeat again for every thread on NSR


I do love a bit of top gear though

TG makes the BBC more money than any other. It's still nowhere near as good as it used to be due to too much cocking about and not enough car content IMHO.

Its the schoolboy stuff which spoils it somewhat. They are all very capable presenters until they are all put together.

I love all the messing around. It's what makes it entertaining. I think the fact that it has become so popular with all ages, shows it's appeal. Boring, everyday motoring shows don't last (much like the old top gear).

Get rid of Hammond, and get Tom Ford in.

Ditch the stig, and get Tiff in.

it will be broadcast in HD as well for the first time so you'll get to see Hammond's hair turning into May's right down to the follicle detail!

7 million viewers on BBC 2 can't wrong! The magazine is the biggest selling Car mag in the UK.

Obviously it must be ****e!

I loves it

Well, anything that an environmental group has condemned as“wanton destruction” should be interesting to watch!

I hope the Tiff stays the Stig in that case. At least as the Stig he has to keep his mouth shut and I don't have to listen to the irritating little twerp just watch him drive.

me too, that man is a weapons grade fister.
Thankfully it isnt, but I dont think much of this tom ford character. Enter his name on google image search and you get loads of naked men?
