I've seen comments in a couple of places that it is now just a parody of The Last of the Summer Wine. Any real difference in sliding down a hill in a bathtub and what those three do.
Apparently there was "no news" this week.
Despite the Motor Show then.

It's light entertainment which happens to focus on cars. Accept that, lose any expectation of "serious" motoring journalism and it fulfils its brief admirably.

I'm not quite sure why but I found the notion of trying to Scandinavian flick a Bedford Rascal, and then having it rollover, to be very funny indeed. It was obviously preplanned as the Hamster looked to have a four-point harness on when he clambered out - but quite amusing nonetheless.

I read an article in the Sunday Times motoring section a few weeks back which seemed to be implying that the next series might be the last.

I'm suprprised the shoe has managed to last so long given the Beeb's tree hugging leftie instincts.

I still like it, it makes me laugh and it has cars = good. I think people expect a bit too much TBH.

I have decided not to watch TG anymore - and have missed the majority of this series - Saw bit of tonights - fortunately the best bit - the Noble M15 and then the JB interview - all pretty sh*t and I only watch 5th Gear now

Best show on TV by a mile for me, the only one I go out of my way to watch, its not trying to be a serious car review programme, its light entertainment and for me, hilarious at times.

I think it's lost some of it's appeal, it's as if they're trying to hard to be funny
