So there we go, the potentially contentious fifth programme in the current series of Top Gear. If you haven’t already read the blog by TG bossman Andy Wilman in which he addresses some of the comments you’ve been making about this series, you really should.
So, no Top Gear this week thanks to some men playing billiards or something, but in the absence of TG proper you might have spotted an amusing parody of Jeremy, Richard and James during BBC1’s The Impressions Show on Saturday night.
That, then, was programme four. And that means we’re more than halfway through the current series. Boo and indeed hiss.
So, show 4 in the current series has been recorded and there are two important things you need to know about it.
Firstly, it is on at 8:30pm this Sunday. That’s 8:30pm. Not nine, not eight, but somewhere in between.
So, that was show 3 of the current series, and if the Top Gear team weren’t far too busy preparing the rest of the series they’d probably take a moment to be quite pleased with it.
You’ve heard TG telly boss Andy Wilman say the best stars in our reasonably priced car are the proper petrolheads and this week’s guest is no exception.
You may have read in dispatches that Jeremy, Richard and James have been up in the North East of England engaging in some sort of art project. Well this is indeed true.
So the first studio recording of the brand new series of Top Gear is, as television people say, ‘in the can’. Because announcing that something is ‘on the hard drive’ or ‘all on the digital tape’ doesn’t sound as romantic.
