Top Gear was brilliant tonight

[996TT_STEVO]

Glad they are taking it a little more serious, the Senna segment was just fantastic.

[Mr_S]

Best show in a long time.

[Condi]

Agreed. One of the best pieces on TG recently. Its right that they do serious stuff occasionally.

[Swarley]

Best one yet!!

I have been thinking it was on its last legs lately.

But that ep has put it back on top for me!

[DaGuv]

It was an absolute pleasure to watch. Best episode ever!

I tell you what, I fking loved Top Gear tonight - the 4x4-Dakar thing I obviously have personal interest in. And the Bugatti thing was awesome. TC/CD were good too...especially the two-wheeling!! And the Senna piece was extremely moving finishing with Hammy driving Senna's car around Silverstone. I have to say, if they were looking for some external investment, that would be the episode to show.

Two bad points...

No Constantinople!! And I would have liked to see a full lap, properly filmed of Lewis driving Silverstone...although I imagine he wasn't aloud to do!

Cheers

That Senna section actually made me having a something in my eyes.

Agree completely. The piece on Senna could have gone on and on for me.

[Doofus]

Did the SIARPC bit take up a huge amount of time though?

Senna bit: Sycophantic. Clarkson hates F1, so who is he to wax eulogical?

Yes shame, suppose there is always next week.

[LukeBird]

Yep, fantastic episode!

That piece on Senna was really moving, absolutely loved that.

[freakynessless]

best one in a very very long time.
didnt think Cruise's lap looked that fast though! The lift off was superb!

[Monsterlime]

Bloody great episode. Well done Top Gear and well done Clarkson for a superb tribute. More episodes like this please!

I hate F1, Senna is still a legend, back from when it was still a mans sport, IMO.

[Altrezia]

That was the best top gear ever. I usually hate it, and have it on in the background, but that was excellent. That part about the amazing senna was just right.

Good work.

Plainly if his favourite driver was Giles Villeneuve he must have watched it a bit rather than just read about it. As is usually the way with Clarkson he does love everything car based, but also likes to be argumentative.

First time, probably in years, that I have really enjoyed an episode of TG.

[Podie]

The Senna piece was fantastic. Refreshing to see it wasn't cheapened by "humour" too.

Like many, Senna was my childhood hero. As Hamilton said, I know exactly where I was when Senna died...

[varsas]

Agreed, best episode in a long time.
