Top Gear Series 21

[rossmc88]

I seen a trailer for the new series at Top Gear live last night, it looks like a really good series coming up

Everyone should stop moaning about top gear because we will miss it when it is gone

Anyone know why Burma trip was delayed from Christmas?

They said that about "Happy Days" and we don't

What generally happens with a TV series is it runs out of ideas and turns st. I don't know if TG is quite there yet. But it WILL happen in the end. It's inevitable. There's only so many countries and so many ways to review the motor car.

I hope there is some of the old fashioned talk about cars again and back in the studio.I'm getting a bit bored of seeing them getting paid for going on their jollies, perhaps I'm just jealous

Yes, I hate seeing those gorgeous cars, filmed in beautiful HD in stunning landscapes.

Not.

The specials are good and especially in HD, the BBC make some amazing programs and I'm glad that they have incorporated that into TG. I just meant it been a while since we saw a car review and there has been plenty of new models recently

It does contain crap but also contains some good stuff.
I'd rather have it than not.
I don't think it's really a question of it being great but rather that TV has gone so far down the pan that anything worth watching is a bonus.

I can't wait to see the results of this. I don't know who was having the most fun, the driver of the P1 or the helicopter pilot.

I'm the opposite - if I want to buy a mundane run of the mill car - i'm more than capable of booking a test drive and reviewing it myself.

I want to see cars that i'll probably never see on the road - and almost certainly never get to drive.

The Winter series was moved from Nov & Dec to late Jan / Early Feb and March a few years ago, it's something to do with the X Factor starting on Sunday Evening and the BBC putting Strictly (?) to the 8pm slot to do battle with them - basically, as big as it is, if it went out against the X Factor and Strictly it would get it's arse handed to it - ratings wise.

did you see the blonde/brunette/redhead hottie over Clarkson's shoulder, blah, blah, blah.

Uh... that's one of the best bits of the show

Sarcasm right?

I really hope that few clothed woman isn't your highlight with all of the internet at your disposal.

Jeremy Clarkson for president of everything ever!

I'll watch it, but the programme does need freshening up. In grave danger of becoming stale & boring. Change 1 or 2 of the presenters now & again at least please...

No chance will BBC change 1 or 2 of the presenters now and then, they work very well as a team, and I guarantee you if they bought in a new man, viewing figures would drop.

Why can't we just have the top gear we all dream of

I'm not 100% sure but it looks almost certain that this is due to start in less than two weeks on the 2nd February.

Just been confirmed on Top Gear Facebook page that it is returning on 2nd Feb

Am I the only one who is beginning to find Hammond a bit too over-enthusiastic and cringey?

Still my favourite show though! Why don't they do Top Gear Live in London anymore...?
