Show 1: the details

I’ve suffered depression and it has been a long, long time since I’ve been doubled up on the sofa, laughing so hard with tears streaming down my face watching Jeremy rolling that Reliant, TG does absurdity so well;
May it never end.

bloody BBC give the lads more dosh tae make more episodes, TV license cost enough,Bloody Nazi`s

the show just gets better and better. love the shirts james.and when are we gonna see you three guys put a time on the star in a reasonably priced car board?

when are we gonna see the cs400 go round the track?

The down side of living in Australia – we wont get to see the latest series for about 5 years !!

hey u tg fan downunder ……..its called the internet and downloading derrr lol

This show is the pits. Grow up.

TG Bosses… is there anyway you can stop Channel 9 from cocking around with the format of the series??? On Tuesday we saw 3/4′s of the episode with Tom and Cameron, I was waiting for the Senna Special and nothing……. They wonder why we download off the internet when they can’t give us the correct format!!

For goodness sake…please just buy a RED suit & Helmet…& get another below par racing driver to be the new Stig

I am truly disguisted by the way “The Stig” has decided to cash in like this. This is what I feel the Top Gear management should do.

1) Out The Stig – The book is being published off the back of the fact that this book will reveal who The Stig is. If the BBC tell the world, who’s going to purchase it?

2) Sack the current Stig for breach of contract. I am pretty sure that it is written in that he cannot reveal himself.

3) Hire a new “Stig” as someone mentioned earlier, Plenty more colours to go through for helmets and suits.

why dont the idiots at harper collins jsut enjoy the craic re: stig? they have totally spoiled the whole fun bit. what a bunch of killjoys. i think its time to blacklist harper collins and not buy any of their products. we love you stig. whoever you are!!

I think for the next Stig, to avoid this happening again you should beat them at their own game by telling us right at the beginning who he/she is then get them to don the outfit and forever more they become The Stig, bit like the audience knowing from the start that Bruce Wayne is Batman

Okay, I am confused.

The identity of the Stig has been a well known “open secret” for years.

The media has known it and it has been no trouble to find out on the internet.

I can imagine that many, many fans of the show have looked this up – probably a top ten search item.

So exactly what do the BBC think they are protecting by spending my licence fee at the High Court?

PS: Pity that Andy Wilman decided to close commenting on his blog about this. Very grown up.

Bruce Wayne is Batman?! I really need to pay more attention…but seriously, set aside the Stig business, I think the last series was a load of crap. TopGear likes the idea that its a great ‘car’ show. Its not. Sure, Clarkson crashing a Robin can be funny, but it needs to be balnced out with more serious stuff. I mean 1 serious feature in a whole series? If TGTV were a ‘car’ show, thay would at least mention it TATA NANO, possably the most important internal combustion car of the 21st century. I believe this was requested by ‘zackhuzain’ on another Transmission…

There are so many other problems with TGTV, for example the fact that the Star In A Reasonably Fast Car takes up a quater of the episode; its all fake, and The News is too short and just more Clarkson falling over.

Oh, and on more thing, stop calling it a ‘pokey motering show’. It really isn’t. Everyone loves TGTV..well except car fans, obviously..

I comment on your post – BBC Worldwide has contributed to the funding of the court case – uhhh, who owns bbc worldwide then if it ain’t us and who do the dividends go to????. Your programme is in my humble opinion, frankly rubbish – hosted by people that cannot even read an autocue, who have the comic timing of a dead cat and who are so full of DJ talk it is almost impossible not to laugh at their 3 adjectives per second out bursts and their tone of voice changes when the want to get a point across – stunted performances by stunted people – who cares who the THE STIIGGG (said in a very deep manly fashion – PUKE!)is – I don’t! Yeah I know – an average audience of 6m – so what!all sun readers no doubt.

When will the next episode of TopGear air?

hopefully never…

I am a little hurt and also confused. Mr APalmer suggests I and all other TG fans are Sun readers, no, no, dear Sir not true at all. Also why, if you detest TG, do you go to the trouble of loging in to your Apple MAC, going on to the TG web site just to furnish people who dont care about your “Humble opinions” with those opinions? That is not the behaviour of a sane or rational human being is it? A Guardian reader if ever I saw one methinks!

Dear Top Gear,

Subject: Stig – Please fix it and handle the situation nicely, we love the Stig(s) and the show.

After all the controversy and court case about the Stig revealing their identity, I hope that tempers have cooled.

The reaction to the revelation, from BBC and the stars, has been very disappointing. We, the audience, love the cast, INCLUDING the Stig. Yes, the mystery is of course important, but it does NOT have to be forever. As things are now, we all feel that the over-reaction is petty, and you need to fix that FAST.

What you should have is a secret Stig, but NOT FOREVER. You need to roll with things, not resist them, and actually make the revelation(s) a part of the show.

That way every 2 or 3 years you can make a big song and dance about the Stig revelation, and then have a new one.

You could also bring back ex Stigs as guests for various things, eg a Stig lap shootout, or whatever.

You are missing a golden opportunity to enhance the show, to be magnanimous, and to do ‘the right thing’.

Everyone out here in audience land is upset that you have apparently not treated the Stig well. It really rankles in fact, and I think the right thing to do now is:

- A public reconciliation on the show – very light weight – but put it all behind you, say it was a bit of an over reaction, and announce a future episode where you will have ex Stigs doing something
- Give the Stig some royalties from the various DVDs and re-runs, at a suitable rate
- Recognise previous Stigs and use them in the show
- Write into the contract to allow Stigs to leave, after a minimum period of say 1 or 2 years, and let them make the most of their memoirs etc

Thanks,
Jeremy Kenyon

One more thing – all those celebrities, just about all who have really got on well with the Stig – imagine what they will think when they hear about the way you are treating him.

The last thing you want is to appear small-minded – its important for the show, and the shows stars, that you fix this, very fast.

Abso – bloomin – spot on Jeremy Kenyon and WELL SAID. At last an intelligent post on The Stig and the way he was treated by the BBC. I sometimes despair of the little boy syndrome at the BBC and the way that management team treat Ben Collins is appalling. he gave SEVEN years worth of service and his image is just as iconic as the OTHER THREE presenter of Top Gear.

In fact, if you look at the cover of every TG magazine and even this website what do you see? THE STIG alongside the other three HUMAN BEINGS. I have been a huge huge fan of TG and have followed the show since the days with Tiff Needell.

But I along with a good many other folk have been very angry with the way TG over reacted to a fella who simply wanted a bit of recognition. After such a long stint in a costume – why were the BBC so stupid over this? Listen to Jeremy – some wise suggestions and a way to repair the damage and move on. Please don’t continue with the petty stuff…

lol THAT bit WHEN clarkson rolled the robin in frontof the bbc crew lol

For those of you who don’t like TG, well you don’t HAVE to watch it. There’s a little button on your remote for channel up and down and it enables you to change your channel on your TV. You could watch a DVD or listen to your ipod. One way of getting a ‘STIG’ to not reveal his/her identity is to pay him/her the same annual salary the JC gets. Then if he/she decides to reveal his identity at a later time he/she has to pay all of that nett salary back. If he/she decides to leave the show quietly he/she gets to keep the money. So simple.
Also when are you going to do an Australian Special?, after all we speak the same language, eat the same food and it would give the presenters a chance to drive some Australian made cars. You could quite easily pick up some cars for $500.00 each.

One more question,…What does Windows XP have that makes it better than Windows 7?
Onuora Amobi | September 29, 2010 | Comments (23)
So, it’s competition time again.
Those of you who know me should know that I am TOTALLY over Windows XP.
However I continue to hear people talk about how Windows XP has this and that and how with Service Pack 25 it’s so much more stable…
Blah Blah Blah…
Well kids, it’s put up or shut up time.
Tell me what Windows XP has that Windows 7 does not.

well the thing is xp u can convert it into windows 7, i also hear that its way much faster while running on a laptop.
Caz
For those who have used Windows XP for a long time and have troubles learning new things, it would be easier for them to continue using XP rather than upgrading to Windows 7 which uses about the same amount of space as XP for the OS itself unlike Windows Vista which seems to use a lot more than it really should.
There is not much of a difference between XP and 7. Most or All Programs are compatible with each other across the 2 Operating Systems. The start menu in laid out differently, the My Documents in XP is just called Documents in 7, etc. More User Login Pictures and Different ones, Icons are different and the Operating Systems work differently from the start (Login, if put in place) to the Homegroup/Workgroup (Workgroups still exist in 7 and so does Domain but Homegroup is a Windows 7 feature)

It has on windows xp that windows 7 does not is that old fun pinball game that I used to play on my free time. Windows 7 doesn’t have it at all.
Lncrhds
Windows 7 dumped support for some legacy hardware, such as Advanced Power Management and the ISA bus.
Mathacer
when I use the laptop acer aspire 4740 with intel core i5 processor and 2 gb RAM, I decided to compare at startup and shut down, windows 7 was defeated in speed start up and shut down, but I install same program on both OS, maybe that’s one weaknesses of windows 7.
Imad
there is no has to say windows 7 dose not have the Improvmint of all the tecnologes but the point is not supporting our programes wich we had to distrow all our prevours programes and bout a new version of it thats why we still hunging up with xp
Arman_simbulan
i think xp has a great appeal in terms of how programs are represented. the microsoft offfice word are greatly functional as well those programs use for presentations and tableture…
Sanoy
xp has an easy interface and is very light to use
Shakir
You can configure network connection just with a click on the taskbar. In windows7 you have to go through your start menu, and some what tedious.
Vikas Chand
good day,
ya window xp is important operating system, there are many people that like to work with window xp BECAUSE IT REQUIRE ONLY 256 MB RAM AND THE MOST IMPORTANT IS THAT IT GIVE HIGH SPEED AT LOW RAM SPACE, BUT WINDOWS XP DON’T PROVIDE SEQURITY AS WINDOWS 7. AND IMPORTANT THING IS THAT THE LOOKUP AND FEARTURE OF WINDOWS 7 IS VERY NICE AND EASILY UNDERSTANDABLE. that why i would like to perfer windows 7.
ezemarketing4u.com Anne
Agree with Vikas! XP does all that ‘the man in the street needs’ . With nationshaving a top heavy elderly demographic, more and more people are being alienated by the increasing sophistication of everything IT. A phone that just makes and receives phone calls. Acomputer that performs like a typewriter and calls up the internet quickly when required ie XP. A TV setup that just needs one remote control. A battery doorbell that works not electronic.
Mr.Q
Well I thing this is a top question Number 1 :Windows XP have in the market around 9 years so in this time we can find problems solutions and add tools and utilitis to this one full operative correcting problems it have in the begining but this takes time this a importan factor and of course the is good time to make feal confortable the useres with this OS but it you look back In the begining XP have a low requerments than the spects we have now in hardware and now is a littel bit low demand so dosent use all the potential of your hardware
Number 2: now windows 7 is brand new and of course we are just star to be confortable with this on ( or not but this is a question of time) until we find all the problems and solve this ones we develop tools good for our platatorm and utilits it make more confortambe work with this so I belive is more question of time and the chance to explote the new advantages off this plataform I like windows 7 but really is because I take the risk to changes and i know it will be question of time to get all the tools I just to have when I had my xp but I belive and I hope this new tools will be better that the ones I had before

XP has default webcam app.Which is not there in Win7.

Windows XP does a better job of running DOS programs.

Windows XP has a very simple user interface which allows even less literates to use computer such as those who do mobile downloading. Windows 7 has good interface but it have some restrictions such as running some games as administrators, taking ownerships of files, Opening Command Prompt With Administrative Rights. Those who are using XP have became familiar to just directly using everything and not always providing Administrative privillages even if you are logged in as an administrator. In Windows 7 even for changing icons of folders(non-windows) you will need to provide administrative privillage. This really annoys the user specialy those who donot know that much about computer and if they don’t know about admin privllage they even can’t change folder icons. Secondly Networking is a bit tough in Windows 7 than Xp. Networking in XP is just about some clicks but in Windows 7 you one has to go through a long process. It is not difficult for those who know a lot about computer but it becomes very difficult for local people. Windows 7 also do not have classic start menu so the users who are addicted to classic start menu of xp donot want to give it up or rather do not want paying a lot of money for getting the classic menu by buying classic start menu software for windows 7. Lots of more reasons are also there. That’s All From me.

windows xp will run a lot af old programs designed for win 98 wearas windows 7 will not or come to that nor will vista. there a lot of old games that i like to play but will not run on win 7
Afederspiel
I am a controls engineer. Unfortunately most engineering related program lags windows from 3 to 5 years, Windows XP is not necessarily better, but I find I have to run 2 computers because windows 7, as nice and fast as it is, is not backwards compatible with many tools I need. XP on the other hand is compatible with legacy software that was designed as far back as Windows 95. Windows 7 XP mode excludes installation of software that previously was XP compatible, but incompatible with Windows 7. In a nutshell, XP is compatible with more legacy products than Windows 7, but that may change in 5 years, but of course Microsoft will have a new product by that time to create the same issues.
Iaqsuk
Well, many already given excellent answers. Remember, XP has been around since 2001 (9-10 yrs) and Windows 7 has only been around over a year, so most of us are use to XP and many don’t like change, but that’s not the question, the question is what makes XP has that makes it better then windows 7?
Really, there’s not that much difference, however XP is still easier in many ways only because everyone is use to it. 1. Navigation is still better, XP from the start button, all programs is better because it lists all programs in 1 sub-window and also you can navigate to the actual execute file, Windows 7 you have to move your mouse to stroll frame to view all programs, then click a select program to view execute files. 2. Not only start, all programs is better, it show mouseover brief description of the program your selecting and also in some cases list the file location. Windows 7 doesn’t do this. I can list other things, but others already listed them, but I’ll stick to XP is still better in navigation better then windows 7. iaqsuk.

Windows XP’s advantage over 7 really is all about drivers. I installed 7 on my old laptop (Compaq Evo N610c) and it seemed to work okay, but the video driver was not really the right one, and had a problem getting the built-in wireless to work with 7, so went back to xp and reinstalled drivers from Compaq website. So, in my opinion, the biggest drawback (even though I really do like 7 on my new laptop) is that 7 does not have the capability of being compatible with XP manufacturer’s drivers.
Matt Romero
Windows XP is easier to navigate than Windows 7. Most people I’ve talked (who are not tech savy) have complained about 7 not being backward compatible with older software. Some of them have even had to upgrade to Windows 7 Professional from Home Basic or Home Premium just to be able to run XP Mode and Virtual Machine so they can run their lagacy apps. It’s very irritating to them.
Windows XP also doesn’t need all of the “Run as Administrator” intervention that 7 requires (also very annoying to beginner/intermediate users). This annoyance ranges from not being able to install programs to running the command prompt to accessing certain local folders. I’ve found a great reg hack that takes care of all this (you just have to run it once at every instance) and the system will never ask for admin privileges again.
What I’ve been doing is telling people to simply skip Home and Home Premuim and buy Professional right away.
In the business world Windows 7 has been a little difficult to deploy enterprise-wide (especially in our environment) because we use the Kace KBox as our Help Desk/Inventory Control and Systems Deployment solution and I’ve had to do a few tweeks to 7 to get it to deploy correclty over the network. I hope this offers some insight to how 7 is doing “in the street”.

First off, keep your software – I don’t want it. As for Windows XP – the only limitation I see it having is that 32 bit won’t address memory above 3.5 GB. It is much easier to create images that can be deployed to similar machines within an organization (with the XP setup manager for creating an answer file!). It can very easily run windows 7 in a virtual environment such as VMware player. Windows XP has been the newest software adopted by organizations for deploying organization wide, and few legacy applications have problems with it. The price of Windows 7 has come down, but still isn’t worth sanctioning it’s cost because of the numerous complications with deploying images. Windows 7 from a home-user stand point is just a regurgitation of Vista (with a few improvements). Microsoft staged a series of television advertisement blunders about “Windows Mojave Experiment” only to say at the end, “This is really Windows Vista”… and the proof is in the pudding that corporations haven’t gravitated to it in droves. In several attempts to learn the image deployment process of Windows 7 – I have learned a lot of limitations, but haven’t discovered much robustness to the new innovations. I will concentrate on seeing what the DSIM tool will do with offline wim editing, but it takes less time to lay out a current xp image on hardware, uninstall and reinstall applications, and then run sysprep to create an updated image.

No run as administrator crap. lol
It uses more resources.
Easier to navigate.
You can choose My Computer and My Documents from the drop down menus of explorer.
