Default Top Gear....Already got on my nerves!!!

So what time did the GT2 do?????....Why do all the presenters on tv at the moment have annoying egos. Shows like the gadget show, top gear and fifth gear all fall into this category.

think it was just a joke, its not really that important to know the times.. top gear is all about comedy these days and i think they do a really good job of it.

exactly if you dint enjoy it dont watch it, not many cars this one but dare say others will make up for it with more cars and less laughs.

Anyone old enough, may remember the original show... Angela Rippon, Noel Edmonds and William Woollard, Hearing about cars such as the Austin Princess and Morris Ital and no humour killed off the show. I know which I prefer and it was on tonight.

Maybe so, but we've lost a car show and got saddled with a Three Stooges comedy act.

Thing is....if you want car fact and in-depth reviews these days, you just go on the net....they are everywhere.
TopGear is really funny and thats why I watch it. I watch factual car stuff on the net!

I cracked up throughout this show tonight. You've got to stop thinking of it as purely a motoring show. It's much more than that. Its fantastic entertainment.

To those of you that are moaning, sell your scoobs (they are clearly wasted on you) and go and buy yourselves a sense of humour

The show doesn't need to revert to the William Woolard era, just to how it was 4-5 years ago. I watch the old ones on Dave almost daily, but when a recent one comes on I often end up switching over or wandering off. THIS is more like it. Have a look through the episode contents HERE and compare how much they used to cram in compared to the current TWO cars and some pratting about. I'd have dropped SIARPC and cut some out of the truck challenge and added a group test.

Looks good, but I saw a caravan at speed on an airstrip at the start tut tut.

The same people enjoying TG probably thought Woss was worth 6 mil a year and thought Brand was hilarious

Suddenly this all makes sense.
You're selling your Impreza to buy a Golf Diesel.
You don't find Top Gear entertaining and you don't like Rossy.

I bet you can't stand The Simpsons or Family Guy either

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but it looks like you're becoming the quintessential old fart
