Mmmm... you can see that sort of tomfoolery every week when Scrapheap Challenge is on (and Lisa Rogers is better looking than Hamster).

Exige was only bit worth watching IMHO.

Agree with the comments about Top Gear going the wrong way. Very little car content.

However I was pissing myself when they were in the lake. Very funny!

Although i found it very amusing i reckon they've lost the plot. It's supposed to be a motoring programme and they actually tested only one car. I much prefer Fifth Gear these days. Geoff.

I'm a big Top Gear fan, and that was another cracking episode. Those boys must have so much fun making that programme.

I do however understand where people are coming from, when they say there haven't done much about cars this series. But in all fairness, there are not that many exicting new cars about at the moment. So it's not like we're missing out on much.

VBH, Tiff and Plato all get right on my t1ts. However I did watch last weeks, where that bimbo crashed the F355 into a Chrysler Voyager, that had be in stitches. D'oh!

What a load of rubbish! I lost interest after five minutes. Kept it on with the sound down while I read the Sunday Times. The first show of this series was very good, and I thought they'd got it back on track but after only three weeks these clowns really seem to have nothing left to say. And who was that actor? He could have been any Herbert. And he seemed to really hate Clarkson for some reason.

1 car in 60 minutes and I thought it was dull for a motoring programme - sure JC capsizing was funny but 5th gear has it covered on all fronts even the Girls Aloud bit was more about cars and track driving than about their new album/single/E4 progamme!

5th gear is unwatchable though
Where do they get those presenters

Tom Ford looks (and talks) like a CBBC presenter and the old guy with the caved in jaw and the comedy voice looks like a kiddy fiddler

I can stand Tif, and just about VBH but I draw the line at Jason Potato

It's also heroically dull
