Not to let DS (12) watch top gear?

DS wants to watch Top Gear, he watched one and they were talking about lap dancing clubs. Therefore DS is not allowed to watch it. I am now the worst mother in the world and all of the other boys in his class are allowed to watch it.

No, the CE one has about a million other presenters including Eddie Jordan and him off Friends. Confused

Yes the new Top Gear has 8 presenters, filming is behind schedule and producers have quit. Not sounding great and I don't think I'll bother. Apparently CE can't really drive and talk, an essential skill for a TG presenter.

New TG is doing to die on its arse after 2 series. The first one will be terrible but the Beeb with commission a second series because they wont want to admit defeat. Then that will be the end of it.

Thats my betting anyway!

But Top Gear is MADE by 12 years olds! Surely our children are their core viewers?

I think you're right Bogeyface I hope you're right.

The new "top gear" won't get 2 series because it hasn't nor will it ever have the stupid boyishness of Clarkson, May and Hamster. Evens is an arse, Sabine could be good, Eddie Jordan Hmm, Matt leBlanc no fucking chance.

I think that the only reason it will get 2 series is because the BBC will be desperate to try and prove the point that Top Gear is bigger than its presenters. Sadly, whether you like TG or not, in this case they are wrong.

My 11 and 7 year olds watch it. They love it!
