Top Gear

[daoji]

Series 16, all six episodes have been broadcast and what have we learnt?
Apart from the usual toys for rich boys. A decidedly lacklustre approach to informative journalism or humorous entertainment and of course there was that controversial Mexican slur placed to presumably win over viewers from the right wing US.
Bit of a damp squib this entire series, and rather shameless if you ask me.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, that's the nature of a democratic free society.
I think the BBC could have either invested more on one of their top earning programmes or pulled the plug.
In my opinion it's limping along with no direction or real reason to continue.
I suspect series 17 has already been commissioned....

I know where the stig is! Anyone old enough on here to remember a kids programme
called 'Stig of the dump'. Well, you will find him at your nearest dump.

Everyone who gave a monkeys suspected he was Ben Collins - I was hoping he would be Stig Blomqvist.

Aw daoji - don't drag that old one out again, no-one is trying to steal away your freedom of speech, this is just my opinion. I think it's limping along too, but I thought the same when Matt Smith replaced David Tennent in Dr Who, but it seems to have picked up ok.

Which reminds me !!!! There was an episode tonight (I'd forgot about that).
I shall watch and return with my opinion/critique :-)

I'll no doubt be prowling in the wings. Always appreciative for any insight.

Well, as it turned out - it was the last of the series.
The two ultimate supercars from the 80s pitted (literally) against each other, John Prescott in the "C apostrophe D", a race against dawn (or "god") and a drive of the redundant new lunar-rover. I thought this was quite a good episode, then again - it was the last for a while so I suppose it had to be. (I hate the "cool wall")
The US has recently launched its own version of Top Gear. I am just about to 'screen grab' that last bit about the lunar rover and e-mail it to my NASA engineer contact in the US to see what he has to say.
