Top Gear
Calling all fans of the hit BBC2 show. Personally, I think it is the second best show on television (after countdown). Anyone agree?

I like the races myself, especially the one last series that took place in Japan and I actually also liked it when Hammond and May had the 2 football games in the Aygo's and the Fox's.
Carol Vorderman and Richard Whiteley have both been Stars-In-The-Reasonably-Priced-Car, so I'm curious as to whether the new host and co-host have also been on Top Gear too. I don't think Susie has and I would like to see her do the lap too.

Re: Top Gear
Nah, they can keep destroying vehicles in silly ways all they like, but it still won't be big or clever. Or particularly entertaining.

Re: Top Gear
Top Gear is definitely required viewing in our house on a Sunday evening!
It's great fun, despite (perhaps because of) the lack of political correctness, and the destruction.

We watch it too - hilarious stuff!
The three of them are great together and it's one of the few programmes hubby and I enjoy watching together (Heroes and 24 are the others)
Oh, and Countdown of course

Re: Top Gear
It's regular viewing for my kids and I do have a few laughs at it. My favourite regular feature is 'star in a reasonably priced car'. I am not a petrol head and the fast cars going round and round make me giddy and bored.
Unfortunately, I am outnumbered in our house by 3 Sci Fi fans. They love Dr Who, Star Trek, Torchwood, et al.
When these progs are on I do the crossword or log into C4CCD or apterous.

Re: Top Gear
I don't know if anyone caught the race in Vietnam back in December, but that had to be one of their best races ever.
The challenge was, that they had to travel 1000 miles from Hồ Chí Minh City (Saigon), at the bottom of Vietnam to Hạ Long city, near Hanoi (Hà Nội) at the top in eight days, on motorbikes.

On February 15th 2007, I actually WENT to a recording of the show and met Jeremy, James and Richard! Series 9 programme 4, the Robin Reliant Shuttle. Utterly brilliant fun!

That shuttle was brilliant, especially when it didn't separate and it crashed and blew up the Robin Reliant

One of my sons is keen to see a recording, so I got on the waiting list, which is apparently 2 years long!
They say that cancellations are possible, though.

Re: Top Gear
When I got the call to go, my legs nearly collapsed under me, I was so shocked! I just about managed to stagger through to the kitchen and blurt out the details.... then I ran round the living room whooping and screaming like an insane ninny.

Top Gear is shit and Clarkson is a moron. IMO.

Jeremy is such an ugly old sod, and Richard is too boyishly 'pretty pretty' IYKWIM, but James is rather gorgeous.
He can come over and alphabetically arrange my tools anytime.
