"Irresponsible" springs to mind. Trying to do a three-point turn in the middle of a public road, holding up traffic and wasting police time and then damaging other people's property plus fire...............was funny, but think they're just showing themselves up as being stupid irresponsible tw@ts.
Usually quite entertaining though

I'm amazed when anybody says this kind of thing! The whole thing is a setup, it always is with Clarkson.

it was funny and blatantly aimed at p1ssing off the scourge of our roads.. caravanners.
spend a day in your car doing 30 to get to a field where you have to empty a scat bucket every 5 minutes and sleep in a cardboard deathtrap to then travel back.
all caravanners should be skinned alive.

I like Top Gear, it's entertainment and it's non-PC, so it gets a in this household.
If you expect it to be a 'car' programme, it shed that image a long time ago - it's 3 blokes talking about cars, and arsing about with cars. The 'Top Gear Twitching' was a case in point.
It's showing signs of being ever-more heavily scripted though, which is a shame, the arsing about is only funny if it looks spontaneous - crashing into the bollard at the petrol station looked spontaneous, setting fire to the caravan and the one next door didn't (and blatantly wasn't).
Still makes me laugh though, and annoys the greenies, which is always a plus point.
