It's Back!!

There are programmes which are far more boring than Top Gear out there… anyone seen “Eastenders”? 😉

Women….My Mother watches Top Gear.
She says she like the “Blokiness”. It’s how men ought to be, not the wimpish over-polite, scared to make opinion types that are forced into other programmes.
And she was brought up surrounded by very polite Officer types in India, when we still ran it.

in a past job i was privelaged enough to drive porsches , ferraris , bentleys etc up to 38 ton tractor units and nothing could be more dire than seing them driven normaly by race drivers

98 % of thier purchasers have probably never raced them or even be bothered by it and 98% will probably only ever see roads

but seeing a koeningseg break loose at speed plough most of the green stuff ready for planting whilst ripping parts off along the way …now that is entertaining !!

the only thing worth watching fith gear for

I disagree.

I have been in and around the motor industry for most of my working life and I appreciate seeing fast cars driven well. Tiff and Plato together are magic.

The last series of 5th Gear was well below par, no Plato. Even the still-luscious posh totty couldn’t save it – though you had to admire her turn as a rally nav.

i have a great idea instead of super cars why don’t hey do it in old bangers …errr hang on . no done !! , mopeds ,,errr no , vans , err no , trucks , err no , boats , err no , public transport , err no planes ,,err no !!

and there lies the problem top gear as is has run its course on ideas and gags to new arrivals it would probably be hilarious

but to die hard fans it is starting to get boring and predictable although thank god it still isn’t as tedious as fith gear

how much would it be for viki to join top gear ?? that will probably work , the only thing worth watching fith gear for on top gear

mind you she’s starting to get past the mucky milf stage perhaps sabine would be better

You’ll be asking for William Woolard back next……

Yes, I enjoy switching it off too 😉 It’s the best part.

Moggy

I don’t have too much of a problem with the scripting, so long as it is not slap-me-in-the-face obvious. I will roll my eyes at the occasional antic, knowing full well it was scripted.

This doesn’t diminish the overall entertainment I get from this one and only BBC show I will make sure I am free to watch. I can switch off and enjoy their antics. That’s good enough for me.

I thought you were watching Jeremy Kyle?

Moggy

Why did they make a new series? You can watch it all day long on Dave if you really have to.

42% of the (admittedly falling) TV viewing audience for the ‘show’ is female

What? Women in the audience proves that it is a program for women and not blokes? A bit of a thin argument, I think. What it proves is that social engineering is alive and well, even on Top Gear. Even better with a few ethnics thrown in. Check out who is in shot left and right of the camera. needless to write that it is said that Clarky has moaned about it – rightfully in my view. How patronising.

John Green

But it isn’t for blokes. You look at the audience, most of it is simpering women dreaming of nights of passion with Hammond – or God forbid Clarkson – who have dragged their wimp husbands along after making them believe it was for their benefit “There are cars in it darling, and you know you love fast cars, don’t you?”

Real mens’ programmes are presented by people who can drive for a start, not shambolic journalists who are prepared to suck up to Jezza.

Moggy

Television programs, are these days made by women for women aka ‘lifestyle’.
Tired formula or not – and I don’t think that it is, be grateful for something for the blokes.

John Green

i have to be thier biggest fan , but at the same time am getting tired of the same old , running into each other and hidden rude words till a banner is torn or a door is opened

i personaly feel a new script writer is required for the commedy ellement and some fresh format ideas

the three work superbly together , and filming is usualy superb india was a superb place full of so many superb options

it was the place i’d waited for ( as well as australia ) i felt let down as i felt they could have done so much more with it !!

I bet if they had 3 MOGGY 1,000s, a saloon, estate, and a pick up race from Paris to London, MOGGY would be glued to his T.V.:D

I started watching the new series then gave up about half way through the first episode when I realized it the same tired, retreaded stuff. “What sort of super car would you buy if you didn’t want a Ferrari?” It could have been re-titled “Another tired old excuse to drive sports cars very fast at the licence-payers expense”

It needs to be refreshed or put out of our misery.

Just my opinion of recent shows (Xmas special and the parts of the last series) – hopefully the rest of the series will pick up a bit. Maybe Moggy’s love of the show is rubbing off on me!!!

Haven’t watch QOS since the early series with David Coleman? – panel shows seem to have a longer shelf life – look at Call My Bluff – it has even spawned a few TV copycats?

I’m not ready to give up on the Three Motorteers yet…

“Stale”.
Well, the formula works and keeps putting bums on seats, as they say.
The future ‘Sir’ Jeremy always entertains.

The format of Question of Sport hasn’t changed one iota since, when…1982??? That is really stale but keeps going.

Watched it last night and I have to say they are becoming a bit stale now. The format seems to comprise of driving three cars from A-B, preferably somewhere not in the UK, preferably fast. The Xmas Special was pretty unspecial.
Have they reached the last page in their “Boys Big Book of Motoring Japes”?

Made the mistake of catching a few minutes of the US version – they messed up Till Death Us Do Part, Steptoe and Son, The Office and now TG!!!…
