last series was rubbish and the one before that and the one before that,
and judging by the pics it looks to be same scripted crap, the show needs new writers or something fresh.
as a car show from what it use to be it's gotten terrible as the series have gone on, they need to start showing 5th gear instead...

just my view though..

I thought last series was a step up from the previous 2 or 3, which I fully agree weren't great.

It's not claiming to be a car show, its entertainment. (Although some would say its not entertaining).

Still better than most of the tripe on.

Think its only so so. Been watchin the US version atm. not great but a nice change. cool caddy in it cupla weeks back. need to go back to the coupla hundred-1k challenges. Scripted like a mutha fckr but at least they were sometimes entertaining. favorite one was the first car one, golf, hyundai and the volvo, cos i remember being in that situation, only mine was an escort.

would like to see a cross over. U.S. sent to uk with a grand each, and uk to U.S........ buy cars and see what happens.

In the guise that they'd repeat challenges. so the yanks would be doing challenge already done by TGUK, and vice versa. see who performed better??

It'd end badly, someone would shoot Clarkson within 10 minutes for one of his "oh I'm not PC look at me" comments

Also series 18 has Nascar in it, ewwwww........

i'd watch it, but wouldnt be bothered if I missed it; terribly contrived n scripted, and some of the 'gags' are about as hackneyed and done to death as you'd hear from a northern english cabaret 'comedian' -proberley worse....

Ok I have to step in here. I dunno if it's a joke or not but it's MEET!! Meat is something totally different! I didn't know if it was a joke when I saw it on that poster you made. If it is apologies but if not my inherent desire to impart knowledge has forced me to put up this post!!!!

Oh and I will always love top gear. As long as there's new cars it will always be entertaining.

Don't know if anyone has seen the video they posted on the website, on set with Clarkson and the producer, he thanks all the positive feedback from the "petrolheads" for the first episodes, but he goes on to say, "If you're a petrolhead, don't watch episode 3"

Most likely some form of scripted attempt at comedy drivvel
