I have no problem with the show BUT it’s the fucknuts that are stupid enough to think that its all spontaneous that gets me. It’s scary.

I couldn’t agree more, it’s ridiculous. A mate of mine showed me the caravan one and the aquatic cars one last night and they irritated the shit out of me. It is all so blatantly rehearsed…every single bit of it.

Worst part is that they are actually bad actors, but people still believe all their bullshit. I mean seriously? Their caravan sets alight and they all climb in and try to put it out (with a cameraman or two in there too) with gas connected etc. BULLSHIT. Like they would risk their lives? Sad.

Trying to park their caravan, they reverse into ’someone elses tent’ and knock it down, then proceed to try and fix it. DO NONE OF YOU GULLIBLE MORONS notice that when they resurrect the tent it’s completely empty! They then accidentely set it alight, perfectly filmed by chance?

I’m pretty sure their biased view of certain manufacturers’ cars is purely based on how much that manufacturer is willing to ‘pay’.

This show sucks…HARD!

Its obvious that they rehearsed their lines and stuff. But what about all the challenges…such as…when they crossed the english channel in cars…and the races like the bullet train one. Are they fake too?

Despite the fact that the show is scripted, when I grow up I still want to be like James May.

Clarkson is a spanner though.

I don’t own a car and I can’t drive, but I still love Top Gear. Funny that.

Aw yeah! Takeshi’s Castle is the mutts nuts. HATE Craig Charles’ commentary though. Top Gear, I can’t stand the new incarnation and find the false chuminess and terrible stiff ad libs sickening. Being a mechanic i used to wank to it in the 80’s but now it’s just a laughable family show. Women are watching it. Nuff fokkin said.

Takeshis Castle is THE FUCKIN BIZ! I loved Crystal Maze but it too was stage managed to make it work. I was blown away by it though.

Neh, it’s just worked out that I’m in a room with a telly the past 3 sundays. I have no major love of any programme except Mythbusters and I just download them. Glenroe was scripted too.
