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

One v8 bouncing off the rev limiter in the background while a grey man reads out a very long list of numbers

I'd watch that...

I think they ought to change the bloody theme tune.

I was listening to Joe Satriani's "Train of Angels" and it would be a perfect theme tune.

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

It is, if you still live at home with Mummy.

If they have any sense they'll make some reasonably radical changes, starting with getting shot of Hammond.

Yeah! The stupid bds have no sense. They've made what is probably the most successful TV franchise of all time, what do they know? fking Hammond, eh? What were they thinking? He'll never last.

Look at the viewing figures over the last few series - gradual decline. Evolution.

You're right. It's all Hammond's fault. And Clarkson. And that other bloke.

Look, I'll be watching - its still a decent programme. Its just that its rested on its laurels for too long and has become flabby. Too much schoolboy studio banter, too obviously scripted set pieces. Clarkson and May are both intelligent funny guys and its sad seeing them phone it in.

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...?

No you are not,even his wife would agree with you. Even his mother would.

Tag live is not in London because London is a st hole that nobody but bent politicians and East European prostitutes wants to go to




Other than the 16 million people who visited last year.


Seriously though, London is not a good place for a big show



Other than the Olympics.

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...

Switch the hamster for Guy Martin

Not that they would of course !

If they did that, some sad fk would complain about his sideburns.

Anyone who wants to complain about modern lark about Top Gear, needs to watch one of the earlier (series 1 or 2) episodes.

So dull! I agree that reviewing normal cars is boring and something I can do myself. I like the mates having a laugh and aspirational format of the programme now.

Most people don't want to watch a program that is purely about cars, look at fifth gear and the old Top Gear, they're crap. New Top Gear pisses over them.

Its hard for TV programs to stay fresh and attract millions of viewers, especially a car programme. Majority of people aren't even petrolheads, so for a show like Top Gear, the OTT scenes, schoolboy banter has to be done to keep people interested, plus what you may not like, others do.

TG. Yet another program that keeps the BBC in the lead for the accolade of best TV company in the world.

A single series is worth my licence fee alone let alone the dozens of other quality programs the BBC do.

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.

If it was shelved which apparently some on here would prefer, what else would we get? Its not as though the BBC are bringing Pot Black back anytime soon.
