Top Gear in, er, three words…

Posted by The Mole at 2:18 pm on Friday July 3, 2009

Jeremy and Richard testing superminisSo, the weekend is nearly upon us and that means it’s almost time for another new Top Gear to stave off that Sunday evening feeling of Oh God, tomorrow I’ve got to return to work / school / international spying and playboyism.

You’ve probably already read the proper preview for this week’s show but here, in three words or less, is a quick summary of each element of Sunday’s programme:

Mercedes SL Black: Really excellent rubbish
Small cars test: Presenters almost arrested
Ken Block: James poos pants
Small cars test part 2: Very big dogs
Michael McIntyre: Funny and two-wheeled.

That last one might have been four words. Sorry. Do hyphens count?

    @14 – Not Ben Collins, or The Stig would’ve been replaced. And why do you want to know? Can’t you just enjoy the caracter?

    If I want to see good comedy, there are plenty of better shows.
    If I want to see a motoring magazine, there are much better available. Even youtube got some really good ones.
    If I want to hear foul mouth chatter, surely the pub is better.

    Sorry, but TG has well and truly lost the plot. People cheering now must be fanboys who’d eat dog’s poo if it was served by Jeremy Clarkson…

    what are you talking about. TG is the best car show I have seen anywhere in the world. Here we have Autosport on Sunday morning which to be honest I can’t write and adjective to describe it. it really is that bad. When I used to watch TG many moons ago it was boring yes. But these 3 Clarckson, Hamster and Cpt slow the show is just amazing. What they do with cars is fantastic. Who would ever think of buying a camper van, a Hilux and an old Triumph Herald and try to cross the channel. Apart from being stupendously funnny it has the ingredients of how a show should be. Well done BBC. and well done to the Tg team. BTW I’m not a fanboy who eats dogs poo if served by clarckson. I am a show watcher who has to rely on you tube vids. Not all of like watching Dallas or dy nasty.

    i didnt like this weeks episode (episode 3) – had no structure, no real point to it. it felt like they didnt know what to do with the episode or what they wanted to be in it. that was the worst cheap car challenge to date and the first one was really pointless, it was more like a political program than an entertainment show this week…

    altho Michael Macintrye was brillant as the SIRPC this week!!!

    Love micheal mcintrye! Laughed so much i cried! James looked like he was gonna scream or wet himself.
    Small cars 1 = Hilarious
    Small cars 2 = Even more hilarious! Fiat 500 :)
    And that was a brill Merc test too!

    Tennis is a dangerous sport. Turning your head left to right all the time could really do damage. Romster, whether you like it or not we are all children at heart. I’m past 40 and love roosting along the only decent bit of BR near where I live in Brazil. What do mean when you say ”do nothing for motoring”? What is motoring for you. Although I live in Brazil motoring is a part of my lifa as I drive a lot for work? Cars here a little different here from the UK. We still have the Fiat uno in production which is a gem of a little car 1.0 pushing 70BHP with all the refinements Air con, 4wd version etc etc. driiving for me is getting behind the wheel of car and enjoying it and having fun. Thats what the show is about. So if your complaining go somwhere else and don’t waste your time on here.
