Nelly 186 Posted July 21, 2013 Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 A friend of mine has just put a comment on FB that he is never watching it again. Its not been vintage. That said, it did make me laugh in places despite the fact it was probably all staged. Even the Spain trip last week was flat depsite their roadtrips usually being a good watch, Has its time come?

hedgerley 449 Posted July 21, 2013 Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 I think we can expect it to go downhill as Clarkson and Co lose interest, having made their millions selling the worldwide rights back to the BBC. Clarkson made around £13m from the sale last week and he and the others are now on 'normal' talent salaries for the show. I don't think they benefit from the colossal syndication rights any longer so why should they bother? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

arbell9 21 Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 I thought last nights show was good. Me and Calum sat watching it together laughing out loud at the hovervan stuff. Also the direct comparison between the petrol and electric SLS was good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mike6 11 Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 Absolute rubbish episode. Are they setting themselves up for a career as comedians. Dont even remember any cars oh yes sorry a few minutes of Mercs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kimbers 1,831 Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 Have I missed something or have they not tested the V6 Exige? And I enjoyed Episode 1, 2 was 5/10...3....crap, 4 was funny but hardly what I want to see from a motoring programme. And is it me or are they making them with fewer and fewer episodes.

ramjet 1,090 Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 I haven't seen an episode of TG in ages. I don't even know what time it is on or whether Channel 9 here even still show it. I do keep an eye out for it in the TV guide, but most of the episodes show up as repeats. I wish it had stayed with SBS airing it over here, because 9 well and truly made a ballsup of it.

gghc87 70 Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 Personally I don't think this series is that good so far but that won't stop me watching I enjoyed this episode though and laughed at the jokes more than in the previous episodes this series .

slewthy 249 Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 Its interesting to compare new with old topgear. The old episode on here looking at the esprit active suspension for example and then any of the last decade's shows. You have to accept it is now a comedy show using cars as a tool and thats it. And that is the reason it is still going - I'm afraid that if it had kept its earlier format it would have been axed years ago. Quote "Intellectuals solve problems; geniuses prevent them."

Buddsy 1,641 Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 I have been watching this series in fast forward. It sounds stupid but I like the car stuff like the merc bit petrol v electric but the contrived stupid and relentless Clarkson pretending to make something like a child would it just dull. I dont think they need to stoop so low. Just more car stuff. Buddsy 1 Quote "Belief is the enemy of knowing" - Crrow777 Link to post Share on other sites

Rick Edwards 20 Posted July 27, 2013 Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 Its a TV program, its also the BBC's biggest export and would not be recommissioned if it was not hugely popular. It ceased being a consumer advice show ages ago and was about to be canned when it was. I think some of the youtube channel shows are far more aimed at the ACTUAL motoring enthusiast than what Auntie makes. Quote Twitter @radioRedwards Link to post Share on other sites
