Dc and I recently got into it, they show all old ones on Dave, some are REALLY old, according to Richard (I sooooo would!!!) Hammonds hair length.

But we are cracking up with laughter at the programme.

the guys are so funny, so slapstick, weve learnt loads about cars now (petrol heads unite), DC and I partial to a bit of Hammond Grin although all 3 guys are great...okay, Clarkson goes a bit overboard sometimes with the un-pc stuff, love James Mays bovine demeanor,and we love the Stig too.

the episode where Loius Spence is coming on to Hammond was hilarious, and weve just wathched the Bolivia special.

really cheered us up, we're both ill with flu atm and we're coughing our lungs up but well worth it to have a good laugh.

anyone else like it?

I am a bit Hmm with the expense of destroying the cars and things and the stunts but im sure its all scripted and fixed.

can't just be us!! and theyre showing a 'new' series at 8pm tonight on Dave. well, new for Dave anyway! Grin.

also, our favourite (so far) star in the car has been David tennant (yes, it's that old, it's when he was still the Doctor!) he was hilarious.

Yes, love, love, love it! Loads of people hate Clarkson, but I think he's brilliant!

I can see where people would hate Clarkson, but Reggie i think hes brilliant too! Hes not afraid of saying what he thinks wether it gets him into trouble or not!

yes, some are a bit below the belt but the other 2 sort him out anyway.

I can't satnd Jimmy Carr but hes made a few appearances on TG and he's really good in it.

its more than a car show though isnt it? its comedy, education (if you're into cars), the guests, the speed, the challenges, the banter.

the guys are fantastic together, what an inspired team. we're loving it, making up for lost time, wayching them all as theyre on,

I love TopGear. The Specials are always good.....African ones, India, Vietnam, USA.

A lot of the comedy segments such as the caravan holiday and the DIY motor homes have had me crying with laughter.

It is all scripted and staged but I don't care.

I remember reading a JC newspaper article once which went something along the lines of, " I was at home writing a script for the next episode of Top Gear when I got a phone call to tell me we'd won an award for best unscripted TV show". Grin

and the one with Jeremy on the steam train! when hed finished and was as black as soot Grin

It was Hammond - he made the remark about Mexicans and Jeremy got the blame.

Although tonight DD1 who has a cold and is feeling rotten decided therapy was having Looney Luna driving a Lego bus TG style along a railway line and into a truck.

They completed the Harry potter xbox game in the holidays and the freeplay afterwards is very very silly.
