Hammond with his hand in pocket ,finger pointing at dick stuff is just so"70's" and he is turning into a woman with the makeup and hair do.
the car and star thing is a waste of time and the filming style is boring.
let it go..... and lets have a new Car show that has less "are we not amazing" hosts and more on cars and bikes etc. Simple good down to earth real world testing

I used to be a fan of top gear, last nights show looked cheap and tacky. Its going down the pan at a fast rate of knots, anyone who found that staged attempt at comedy funny is very easily pleased.

i would like to see TG try a classier type of style. A bit more "evo" magazine type. real road tests. just how many of us want to know how a trained super car driver can drive a £6k Hyundai etc? i want to know how i as a semi average driver might get on with a new Ford or honda etc.

Just watched it now and have to say found the whole thing with the Springsteen USA bike incredibly insensitive. That just wasn't funny at all imho and I know others will disagree.
I think it hit Hammond too when that man was talking to him about his experiences. Not good.

Some people are easily pleased. Everything staged, you really think Clarkson spent more than 5mins on that bike.
Another 1 for TG that has went right down the pan.
Hammond obviously took a hard knock to the head in his accident, i liked him pre accident, i think he's awful now post accident.
They are crap at acting and this is what they do 50% of the time on TG

The less they talk cars the more I find the programme entertaining.
Sunday nights Mopeds episode was brilliant for me.
I wish I hade "the get up and go" to go travelling through Vietnam, apparently Nat has a trip planned.

I went in 2007 mate...India, Thai, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Malaysia. Vietnam and Cambodia were the most interesting by far
One of my good friends runs a couple of factories in China so i'm going to see him (couldn't this year cos of the Olympics meaning everything was 10x more expensive) in 09 and go back to Vietnam and Cambodia

I really enjoyed Top Gear Vietnam. I liked the exporation of the nation, and the live experiences of Jeremy and the team in the country. Humour in the episode seemed constructed, not spontanious(like other Top Gear episodes TBH). But that must be the way they always make it. So, no problem with that. In a nutshell, very refreshing and interesting.

i would like top gear to re-invent itself again, hammond does pi$$ me off these days, it is incredible how his celebrity status has changed him when you see an episode on dave from a few years ago and compare it to now. He's so heavily styled now the man looks like a poodle and i don't really feel like i know any of their opinions on any of the cars or on anything they do anymore because it is so scripted, was it just me or did hammond seem to have been given the role of the person who hates foreign food?
It was inevitable that clarkson would fall in love with the bikes by the end, that they'd have anthemic music over swooping panoramas and clarkson saying 'just look at it....' that they'd crash into each other, the bit where hammond stood up and pushed the boat into a ceiling fan... couldn't we have had a genuine observation on something instead? And they managed to use every track from apocalypse now, platoon, the dear hunter, hamburger hill, Full metal Jacket.... it was inevitable that they'd go to vietnam and do that
probably me being overly critical, the masses like it for now, i reckon they have another two years before it starts to wane, and i should stay in the camp of people who don't like it so don't watch it, just annoys me that i very much did used to like it, the stuff like the italian super car for 10grand was stuff myself and my pals would discuss so it was good when they tried things like that

Watch the continuity on these "outings" and you realise that not only is scripted, but it is taken and re-taken on different days. The diesel challenge was the funniest - Wing mirrors in - Wing mirrors out - Wing mirrors in again on the same "take"
If you take it at face value - middle aged men acting out middle aged mens travel fantasties in a very staged, rehearsed, scripted and mildly amusing way (with wonderful scenic backdrop) then it is decent entertainment.

Exactly. And if I wanted to know how the new Ford drove, you know what, seeing as I have a Full UK driving licence - I think I'd just pop down to my local Ford dealers and say "Good day! I'm thoroughly interested in your "new" facelifted, facelifted, facelifted global car that you're desperately trying to offload on us Brits because Americans are now so poor that they're eating their own babies.. yet we're obviously all very rich because you're trying to charge us 3 times the US forecourt price.. and I'd very much like to take one for a test drive thankyou!"

I like Top Gear the way it is. It means anyone can sit down an watch it. You dont really need to be "mad" about cars to have a giggle at it.
I am mad about cars an the show cracks me up. They work very well together as a team.
The star in a car can be a bit **** when its someone boring lol
Im sure everyone would complain if the entertainment stopped an all they did was road tests.
Its what makes the programme so good is the fact its utterly random.
Like the Vietnam episode - Awesome. Thought it was brilliant
