I think you're missing the fact that this is entertainment. Something that is seriously lacking on television at the moment.

There aren't many programs that make me laugh out loud, Top Gear is one of them.

im not complaining at all, and i agree about it being entertaining. i catch my o/h and my daughter watching it (when they are pretending to read of something), they both smile and laugh in the right places.

im just one of those people who seems to be able to spot inconsistencies etc a mile off.

(and my o/h hates it lol)

When I say you, I mean the collective "one".

Lots of people love to poke holes in stuff (myself included) meaning they often miss the point of things.

i knew you were talking about the collective (and NOT the borg), i was just carrying on the conversation

I know you are not complaining, though I am just pointing out a couple of things

They have to add a little drama into it to make it a little more entertaining. Alot of the footage you see is shot after the event. They literally go back and shoot bits without the trio where possible of course.

It is by far the best programme on television.

Knockout episode. I loved the tearing up the countryside bit. That should be done more often!

Did not care much for either May's RR or that lump of Clarkson's Merc crud, but pushed I would take the RR.

the big/old car thing i watched purely for the funny bits, rather than anything else.

the gtr was awesome (again) it looks super stunning in black imo. i have always had a soft spot for skylines (yes i know this one isnt actually a skyline).

i really want to know what it is that JC finds on the internet every week. also that little pug looked pretty cool. eugh, did i really just say that about a french car.....
