Fixed that for you. I don't like Mrs Merton either, but instead of getting angry about it I just don't watch it.
And there it is the classic "ohsofunny" Top Gear rimmer line. rolleyes I should avoid an entire series because 1 part of it WILL probably (paradox?) be st. laugh

Seemingly, I have to be so polar in my opinion of the show. Either (like you) I should be wanting Clarkson and company to unload on my face as it's thebestshowintheworldEVER!
OR
I must hate it was a passion and get vexed about it laugh

Maybe (like a normal person) I will like a lot of it and get pissed off with some of it. Or is that too difficult for you to comprehend hehe

Given that the young person/old thing has never been a winner, why would TG suddenly make it work?

Well you wrote a sweary little rant about how it isn't funny, now you've written another sweary little rant at me because I told you not to watch TV you don't like.

You sound pretty angry to me. You even say yourself that bits of a light entertainment show pisses you off, which isn't what "normal people" do, by the way.

You've been on PH years and you have failed to notice that everyone who posts on it is continually pissed off with every element of the modern world?

A nice little intro to this series. Clarkson looks like he's suddenly aged 20 years eek

Looks like the usual mix of daftness so I'm quite looking forward to it.
scripted or not, that actually looks pretty good

Yep, i don't care that it's scripted and sometimes abit poor in places (SIARPC), I'll still be recording it on my TiVo, and my house and all activity within will still come to a standstill at 8pm to which I'll be transfixed to my TV enjoying it regardless! I don't think I've ever missed a new episode of top gear, even If im out of the country I'll still find a way.

Scripted or not who cares it better than most shows on telly, would you rather watch x factor or shiiting on ice?
Plus they have some brilliant stuff lined up for this series; F10 M5, supercars in Italy, Nascar racing etc.

Nobody does car reviews like Top Gear. If you don't like their TV reviews, there is the magazine which you can read, or you can flick over to channel 5 and watch fifth gear arguing or Tiffany judging a car on whether it can drift or not.

I am looking forward to it, even if it is just for entertainment purposes. I think that it took a dip in the past 3-4 seasons but it seems to be getting back on track now.

Fingers crossed smile

laugh

I'm not that angry. Just frustrated by the TopGearisthebestshowEver! people. Just as much as the eejuts who always claim it's standIwon'teverwatchitagain. Their both stupid. hehe

Top Gear for me doesn't need the crap content. (which as I suspect will be the mobility scooter thing) It needs decent content. (As can be seen in the trailer above which looks very good)

So long as the good bits outweigh the st bits I'll be chuffed smile Sadly not all the recent series have had that balance right.

According to the interview in The Times today they were very happy with tonight's episode.

They are celebrating the fact that this is TG's tenth anniversary

a 350 million viewing program will always have it ups and downs, and me for one will watch it until it dies, it at the least relieves the brain for an hour and considering the tv it is against nowadays it has a long way to go to reach the celebrity big brother lows.

To quote Clarkson "it's TopGear as TopGear should be..." looks like Ray Winstone in the last clip too! Excellent!
