have to agree it was a bit samey. but still worth watching. when does the new series start?

[ozzycat]

  it was the worst one they have done

[TheBoy]

Predictable, of course, but even a rather poor episode such as this, still a million times better than the usual dross the BBC think we like to watch. Every time I turn the telly on, its bloody Knobenders, and I don't know a single soul who watches that.

No, I mean I don't know anyone stupid enough to waste time on such dross...

She hates it more than I do. Thankfully

The special was just a load of shite, totally disapointed.     Time to get some new blood into top gear before it dies a total death

[jonnycool]

We all watch it because of the presenters though, we just need to see more genuine fun rather than the scripted, slapstick crap that they're doing at the moment   

[tunnie]

Not the best, but still best thing on TV. New presenters will do nothing, Top Gear shows the same style but with crappy presenters, its shite.

Clarkson, May, Hammond offsetting each other make TG

That's interesting cos I don't think the viewing figures suggest it's dying.

I personally think if they changed the lineup it would be worse. and if JC left, we're left with the next senior member richard hammond running it... who, without JC, would be rubbish.

Sack the producer then and make those 3 do some work, its all too much like they cant be botherd to do anything else, it will just get canned if they dont sort it out. last series was a pile of crap too!   

There was something on the website that made me larf, the top read reviews or something " Why, in a year when we've driven the Ferrari 458 Spider and Mercedes SLS roadster and Range Rover Evoque, did you prefer to read a road test on the new Chrysler 300C?"  and from that you couldnt work out what cars to feature more on shows? 

I miss the proper challanges when they had to cut up or build silly things (not just stick some far too big tyres on) race across deserts (not poddle around india at 40mph and get a train most the way) you can put up with the slapstick if theres enough real stuff to go with it.

the viewing figures just show everyone sky+'d it, not if anyone actualy enjoyed watching it

Do you think Sky customers would like us to record the fact they Sky+ naughty stuff at 2AM?

Also very, very few Sky boxes are actually plugged into a phone line, data cannot be recorded on who watches what, no way to transmit the data back..... even if we were allowed to.
