    I didn't say it wasn't funny or un-enjoyable though.

    Just not one of their best series.

    Some vintage stuff though - Aygo 5-a-side, Range Stormer vs. Challenger II, Porsche Boxster & SLK 55 vs. snipers, putting car thieves off stealing a TVR...
    Thanks for all the fish

    Reviews of crap cars are the best ones. In all of the ones of cars they like they spend 10 minutes going around a track sideways.

    I have 10 episodes of top gear of this season, how many are there?

    The thing i'd like to see more in topgear is a better look at the enginering side of cars, but being clearly a "funny" show they mock thoose aspects.

    Sorry about the 911 report, remembered they did! Yeh I'm British, from Birmingham. I agree with Coventry, it wasnt one of their best overall, although there were the already stated good bits!! Me personally, I'd like to see a few more group tests of the expensive cars, eg F430 vs Gallardo, CLS55 vs M5, I guess their Power Lap times deal with an aspect of that, but its just a thought.

    This talkshow style format has never really appealed to me. It was a lot better when it was still 30 minutes, and all they did was test cars.
    If you should see a man walking down a crowded street talking aloud to himself, don't run in the opposite direction, but run towards him, because he's a poet. You have nothing to fear from the poet - but the truth.

    It was really boring. All I liked was the drifting because I like to watch D1, but that's really it...

    Wonder if the low-key is because Clarkson's injury has had them had to cancel their ideas and fill it with some quickly thought up articles. Pure speculation.

    First ever recorded case of "oversteer injury"

    Not heard confirmation that the drugs haven't workd and whether the feared operation is to go ahead.
