Pauly D's right, I think as a trio they bounce off each other quite well. May's brilliant on his own, Clarkson's good, but Hammond just annoys me. Ever since his crash he really just grinds my gears.
Television Top Gear
- Thread starter Ramshock
- Start date
I agree. They're all great together, but Hammond has just become increasingly annoying over the last few seasons. Particularly during The News segment.
Out of the 3 Hammond is the most annoying, his programs are just rubbish.
May and Clarkson and both excellent, there programs away from Top Gear are very good, especially May's.
When either of them leave , I don't think BBC will drop the show, it make to much money for them but it wont be the same.
I remember Clarkson in the old Top Gear and when he left, it went down hill very badly very quickly.
Yeah I really enjoyed him in the old Top Gear. I loved Quintin Wilson for his voice, and Tiff Needell for just being a really nice guy. After watching this review from Clarkson, I went out and bought one of these cars the very next day.
I ended up buying 2 of them, and to this day, I miss it!!Christ that's going back a bit now!!
This has been the worst series so far.
Not enough cars, and too much dicking around from all of them.
Another road trip, very much the same as before, yawn.

The most remarkably thing about that old hatchback segment is that it takes well over a minute before we see Clarkson's face.
anybody with Dave TV Channel, they are showing quite a few of the Special back to back, the Bolivia one is on now.
Yes! The India one on at the moment.
You mean too much of what makes it entertaining, not enough tedium?This has been the worst series so far.

The car reviews are the worst bit, and are exactly why a 'serious' show like Fifth Gear is so dull.
Besides, what did you actually expect? It seems like your complaint is a little akin to going to a football match and being upset that they're not playing Rugby.
Its just a complete regurgitation of what's gone before.
You can pretty much guess what's going to happen before they do it.
You think the car reviews are ''the worst bit'' and 5th Gear is dull.
So basically you enjoy watching late middle aged men trying to get a laugh by putting the word ''penis'' on a car, or using the word cock. You really need to get out more!!
For those that have not seen it or want to watch it again, and can get Dave Channel.
The Africa Special has just started.

Series 20 starting this Sunday, can't wait. Only six episodes though.
The ad for it tonight only said coming soon, strange if it's this weekend.
It's confirmed it's tonight.
Excellent. 6 episodes just proves how lazy these boys have gotten.
I watched it. It's so rubbish now. That bird off Countdown has overly large thighs, which was a disappointment to see.
I was out at the time so I missed it.
Rachel Riley was the guest? Excellent...
Not a great episode.
The whole section with the multiple celeb guests to do laps in the new Reasonably Priced Car has been done just the same before, however I enjoyed the race with Clarkson, and May on the yacht.
Hope it gets better as the series goes on.

What's the new car?
Vauxhall Astra 1.6
Hmm. A bit of an improvement I suppose.
I always thought they should have used something reasonably decent for that segment and the last few cars where anything but.

£17K counts as reasonably priced these days apparently. They used to have a car that costs less than £10K. Should have got one of those new Dacia's or something. The Astra is far too mainstream, if they are going to cheat why don't they use a proper car, like a Ford Focus?
Yeh exactly. The angle they were coming from was because of the lifetime warranty thing but 17k is a lot of cash. Infact, they could have used that Fiesta ST for about the same.
Could have used this sporty little number for less than £10K, similar performance, ish:

Sure you could get an old M series BMW if all they wanted to base it on was price. It's a middle of the road family car that people would look at but not really buy. Same as the others. It would be more fun if they gave them something decent to go round in.
BMW are tossers cars
tonight is very good so far, cant believe all the abandoned places in Spain, that airport was only 5 years odl and must of cost millions to build.
was Spain closed for the day , when they filmed this.
where is the abandoned airport and town?
I dont know where they are, but they said the airport was built 5 years ago and went bust a few years later.
Edit: just did a quick google and found this.

Jealousy is such a bad trait..
What the hell? I had no idea Spain was that fecked. Crazy.
I take it you have one then!
Why do you think they're fecked? Lots of stupid, corrupt spending on projects like this... Then there's the young(u25s) unemployment that is over 50%...
That mountain road is mental. At least the Airport had some level of thinking behind it, and if the demand had've kept increasing at Madrid then that one would have made perfect sense for the budget carriers like Ryanair in the same way they use the airport outside of Paris.
Decent enough episode, that Audi was amazing and would be my pick of the three.

except it's 100 miles from Madrid. even 50 miles out is pushing it.
yeah I know there's a train. sounds like someone got some cheap land and believed their own BS.
