Content is good. Just wish they'd get rid of Clarkson's cronies in the background all chuckling at every word he utters like a bunch of impressionable schoolboys. Doesn't put petrolheads in a good light!

At last, some recognition of proper cars. The RS 1800 on Top Gear, the Austin or BL Princess on Drivel, are 1970's cars becoming de regiur again? My Lotus may face stiff cometition from the local yobs in their Max'ed up shopping trolleys, but back in the late 70's it was a major force to be reckoned with, even now it can still drop jaws at 500 yards.

Shame the Noble M12's lap was in awful conditions as it would have been nice to see how it could lap in the dry, still only 3.90secs of the Murcielago's time is not bad at all.

The Focus RS was bloody fast too!

JC made me laugh on numerous occasions!

Top program!

Yeah, but isn't JC like that annoying bloke at the pub, who does an impression, you laugh politely, then he does it for the rest of the night. Oy - pub bore - NO !!!

The Darth Vader thing was amusing, then he drones on about it for the rest of the review.

Rest of it was good. Jay Kay could have combed his hair though. And had a shave. And taken off that tea cosy. Does he think he's Badly Drawn Boy ?

I agree it looks like they bussed in a load of butt munchers

For reasons of vocal talent and good automotive taste, I usually hold Jay Kay in the highest regard, but this evening he went down in my estimation. The reason? The fact that whilst talking to JC he didn't remove his hat. Not a great crime I know, but in my opinion very rude. I fully understand that to be a "Rock Star" you have to be rebelious and portray yourself as being "Cool", but I didn't realise that being impolite was also part of the Uniform. Cracking drive though.

Im sorry, but even though i hold JC in the highest reguard

i though it was a bit shit....

what were all the numpties doing standing around in the background, and the other two presenters did everything but lick jc's shoes..

the actual articles were quite good but badley put together... imho..

it was a bit like that clarkson series where he became a chat show host.. some of it was good but a lot of it was pap..

hu hum

Ive just watched TG and I think they like to waffel a lot.
The Noble was nice and the RS200 was tops but Clarkson cant drive that good from car to car.
This Stig block look to have the hall mark of Tiff and the hand brack turn that JK did looks just like Tiff tought him to do, but these are my thoughts.

No, the biggest crime was the Hat itself!
