Although the last Top Gear prog was well pants, I did like the part with Richard Burns. Stick the poor sod outside and he becomes a spectator. The part when the car runs by and he gets blasted by stones (or whatever they were - maybe smarties) had me laughin loads.

On another note, rally must be near top motorsport now being that F1 is so, er, terrible and knowing who's going to win again and again.

I was very disappointed that they didnt get him to give the R34 a blast round the test track. Would have been good to see.

That 'Fat Bloke' is a waste of space. Does he also work for What Car? He made the R32 Skyline sound like a dog when its probably the best drivers version of the Skyline.

I agree, top gear has really gone down the pan, driven has also lost it's edge, but 5th gear is pretty good, lets just hope it continues...

I like Clarkson, but he can be sooooo biased it's a joke

I wish they had done something else with Richard. Totally agree it would have been fun for him to show how to drive the skylines properly !

I don't like the studio format. If I want to see a live audience, I'd watch Kilroy. Car people should be doing car things like driving cars (and if you're Richard Burns; quick cars, quickly) and chatting down the cafe over a sausage toasty. Not reading an autocue, badly.
