Anyone who missed GreenWing has missed out on good (weird) comedy.
Seconded, perhaps a bit marmite but we loved it, really different, also love Friday Night Dinner, not ground breaking but decent sitcom, Mark Heap is in both and is utterly hillarious as Jim he odd neighbour and the freakish Dr Alan Statham, a class act.

And another clip from Green Wing, they go all Sparks, quite strange for a medical comedy

Really, watch Green Wing if you havent seen it, it is brilliant.
Friday Night Dinner also good.

Anyone else think that MLBs review / segment on the Abarth 124 was brilliant? Something really clicked for me with him during that film.

I thought it was the best part of the show. Although that is faint praise.

The Pac Man thing must have sounded like a great idea in the office but it isn't very good TV.

It's not too bad to be honest.

Rory is a little too eager though, Hammond with added Evans shoutiness

What's happened to the scripting for Rory? I quote:

'See ya later suckers!'

Is TG modelling itself on a bad 90s American sit-com?

Also, why does the 37 year old Rory keep calling the 42 year old Chris 'granddad?' That's just fking weird....

Having said that, this new series is pretty good on the whole smile

37 I thought he was late 20s maybe 30max.

Your right though, that is weird.

Granted, the Veyron and Chiron look a bit bland unless you see them in person. Engineering brilliance.

Amazing engineering but that Chiron is bloody ugly.

Loved the 1299 though.
