    Default Top Gear 2013

    Just watched Sunday's episode and I thought a year off has improved the show. Quite a good opener .. loved James May rallying a Bentley Continental in Wales [great photography] and even Clarkson's skit on Dragons Den was mildly amusing ..

    I thought it was better than the previous series which was a total parody of its self, but I still found Clarkson's tiny car thing rather tedious.

    Stomping on the avenue by Radio City, with a transistor and a large sum of money to spend.

    I thought it was great, but I'm a TG fanboy.
    My name is Connor and I have a GAS problem.

    I also have some videos of myself playing guitar. Here they are.

    The tiny car bit went on for far too long, and the dragons den bit was awful. Proper laughing out loud at the petrol station bit though.

    Still each series has a few expensive features with foreign travel and helicopter shots, so they pad out the series with a couple of "film it around London for £50" ones.

    Thought Clarksons quip in the Dragon's Den about getting kids to work in factories was priceless, although it did go on a bit.

    Better, but still too many patronising set pieces and still just a bit, well, lazy - even they weren't intrested in that Bentley.

    I think 50 years off would improve it even more................that or the addition of a tottyfilly presenter

    I don' really rate it but I'm in a minority in my household - add a harmonica playing ascending thirds and it'd be Last of the Summer Wine.

    The Reverend Lord Henry was not one of those new-fangled parsons who carry the principles of their vocation uncomfortably into private life.

    its just the "everyone kiss Jeremy's arse" show. Can't stand him, he's a boorish gobshite, can't stand the format, can't stand the way people rattle on about the program, can't stand his face, his manner of speaking, or anything he says, can't stand Hammond's ridiculous clothes, the arse kissers who go to see it, or the wanky guests.

    Apart from that, great show.
