BBC Top Gear Thread 2021/2022

[HAL 9000]

I'm starting to wonder if there is an audience at all in these recent programmes, or whether it is created in the editing suite. They seem to film the trio quite close up all the time.

Wondering when is the precise point that criticism of last week’s show becomes anticipation of how bad this week’s will be.

Saw an advert for next weeks show. It made me cringe.

There isn't a precise point. When people watch a bad episode they will then say "I hope next week's isn't this bad" whilst still continuing with the discussion of the recent episode.

I am currently watching the truck episode. Loving it really interesting subject matter.

[stevemcs]

I didn’t mind it, although it seems that because it’s filmed during covid they have deliberately filmed the programme keeping them away from each other hence all the challenges.

Its 1152 and I am now at the point of anticipating how bad tomorrows show will be, based on last Sunday.

I'll save you from the stroke-inducing anticipation:

PMG - shouty, not funny, annoying. Reminds us of Evans although marginally less irritating.
FF - big testes but not much else.
CH - splitter, better on ChewYoob.
Not as funny as it used to be, need more segments about valve clearances on a Morris Minor.
No longer about cars, more like Strictly Come Driving now it's on ITV BBC1.

I'm sure there are others.

[Mercdriver]

But will you be annoyed if your prophecy is correct?

I am certain it'll be funnier than saying "ChewYoob".

That's the second time you've done it, and I urge you to reconsider such choices.

Fair enough, I shall desist from such silliness.

So I would be annoyed twice at the same time? Trickier than I thought.

Freddie has gone for another dodgy haircut! Keeps the theme for him!

[thegreenhell]

When was this filmed? They're all standing around in thick coats and woolly hats.

[SydneyBridge]

Nice to see the track has not been dug up yet

Must have been months ago. Assume they did the whole batch of links all in one evening.

[thegreenhell]

Hang on, cheap Volvo estate versus cheap Mercedes saloon in some off road challenges, we've been here before...

[pquinn]

Old puff piece for Rivian. Shame they've managed to ship half of sod all to customers and now the F150 Lightning is shipping.

[james6546]

Did it look like the viper held back to let the rivian win to anyone else?
