It's quite entertaining on the whole.

Doesn't seem to feature new cars other than the odd super car now.

It always makes me wonder how JC gets so much done on so little.

For £500 he got a new turbo, fitted.
Full respray
Graphics
And without any prior knowledge, just happened to have a spare set of rally wheels.

Like to see you get that out of a dealer.

I thought it was very good and at momment it is one of the best programs on TV.

As to football isnt that what BBC3 is for?

It was a little light on car reviews but stil thoroughly entertaining the best motoring programme on TV by a country mile.

I have to say I love top gear for the simple fact that there are no bleeding MPV or supermini reviews like fith gear.

If I want to know how the new KIA handles I can pop out and drive one myself but theres less chance of the local ferrari dealer giving me a spin in an Enzo

Its a bit of fun in an otherwise bland Sunday evening's viewing

If you want car reviews, buy the Top Gear magazine.

The TV show is all about entertainment. Its the only programme I actually look forward to and miss when its not on. Its not on next week

The star in a reasonably priced car is getting a bit tedious though. They need to spruce it up a bit. New car, new leaderboard or something.

I agree, David Blunket in an Enzo would be entertaining to watch.

Dutch TV listings showed it being replaced by Crufts, the Chelsea Flower Show or some other uninteresting ****, so I didn't tune in.

Is it repeated?

2 things that spoiled it for me is that Clarkson HAD to win. Why not let May have a bit of glory. Hammond won the football last week. And I cant believe he got the respray, turbo and especialy the wheels etc for under £500.

Agree about Star in a Car though.Seems to drag on a bit.

Like to see where he got the starion for a £1000(especially if it was the last one ever made??) and he said it was only 150BHP standard...that aint right either!!
Think he is full of it,and he couldnt drive a nail into wood..but he is entertaining...and thats TV aint it..
Oh yea...EX Works ralliart turbo supplied and fitted for £500...Nah..
