BBC Top Gear Thread 2021/2022

Enjoyed that, all good fun. Didn’t learn much about the cars, but that’s not really the point. Moss tribute segment very good.

Excellent show, really enjoyed that. Freddie is not human, crossing his legs and eating a banana on top of that Bentley!!

[loskie]

at least they have a decent set of guys doing it now, better than Joey and Cris Evans that's when the show was at the bottom. Tonight's show was quite decent.

[abzmike]

Are you here for the 5 minute argument, or the full half hour? Honestly, I don’t think coming on here does you any good.

Top Gear is now terrible. Harris is pretty good and can obviously drive, the other two though are about as entertaining and authentic as a cock rash!!!! I've watched 20 minutes and I can't stomach them. Time to start recording the programmes and watch 99% of it, in fast forward.

Please never watch it again or if you do don’t come in here and tell us again how bad you think it is when we totally disagree with you.

This man pretty much says my thoughts, enjoyed it very much. I'd go a step further in saying the Moss tribute was excellent, IMO.

As always, awesome camerawork. The drone stuff is stupendous

[AJB88]

Enjoyed it, have enjoyed these 3 most since CHM left. The previous ones were ok, only watched 1 episode of the Chris Evans series.

Anybody know if Moss's blue Ferrari was ever made?

[DeejRC]

Well I thought it was amusingly enjoyable entertainment. The Moss tribute was pitched just right.

[Antony Moxey]

Good show tonight, probably the best of the series so far which is quite funny as I pretty much hated ever6 car shown except the McLaren and Sir Sterling’s Lotus. SUVs really are almost universally ugly aren’t they?

[Zad]

They always seem to do tributes very well, and tonight's programme was no exception. Top quality stuff. The rest was just another 25 minute segment that took 50 minutes (again). Not bad, just a bit thinly spread and a repeat of something they have done before. I'm definitely warming to Freddie Flintoff as the series progresses though.

Shush, I’m trying to intently watch it all the way to the end so I can moan how much I don’t enjoy it.

Bit rude.

Enjoyed that, again.

I wasn't keen on the Bentley when it first rolled up, but what a machine!!

[BadOrangePete]

Much better this week. Drone shots in the quarry were awesome, Loved the Bentley too, specced just how I'd have one... though as said its more a fast limo than a GT car. Stirling Moss feature was brilliant, Drivers back then really were a different breed!

Seems to be a pattern this series of meh-good-meh-good, Next week looks promising though.

[Welshbeef]

Bentley what a car who doesn’t want a 12 cylinder in their lives.

[Driver101]

A good hour of TV.

I'm really not a fan of that Aston at all.

Ballsy sitting on top of the cars and not a chance I'd get on that zip wire.


Can we have a week without all the needless childish bickering?

[TTmonkey]

Anyone else think the Aston is ugly and unappealing?

Indeed, best part of the series so far, IMO.

Agreed, driving that little Lotus must have been absolutely amazing!

Yes indeed. It doesn't seem right juxtaposed with the other st. Has anyone spotted a GT car in the British GT car challenge, by the way? I can see a limo, an SUV and a sports car I think.

When I saw the Bentley at Portmeirion I assumed they would bring on a nicely spec'd DB11 but ho-hum, that's not the car that Aston want to promote hence the SUV. Aston sell a lovey GT however Top Gear decided to not to use it.

Manufacturer wanting to promote new model over the one that's been on sale for four years shocker.

NOt shocked at all, indeed that was my point. Thanks...
