But the telly boys have bumped the film of the BMW Z4 and the airport truck racing (will be shown in 2 weeks) in favour of a test of Jaguar’s new 500bhp XFR and a new invention by Jeremy that’s guaranteed to save the planet. Almost.
This week’s celeb is, for once, a girl – actress Sienna Miller. Stig took a bit of a shine to say the least and her lap was, well, you’ll have to wait for Sunday for that. (Jay Leno is supposedly in the bag but they're saving it for later)
Oh, and don’t forget we’ll have the usual behind the scenes galleries for you tomorrow and Friday – including the rehearsals and the live recording – so set yourselves a bookmark for that.

I cant wait to see what watches are on view tonight.
I think Hammond will be sporting a Breitling Super Avenger Titanium, JC his Omega RM, and the other guy will have some sort of gay surfing friendshp band, unless JC lends him another watch again.

Edited to say - that's the sh*te remake of Alfie I was referring to, and yes I always spot the hotties in the audience!

I feel the need to re-post as I have treated James May unfairly, he deserves some recognition for wearing this IWC.
May's IWC Portuguese.

Not the best this week, but IMO worth a watch. Of course you have to remember its an entertainment show not a car show.
For me it was funny enough.

I enjoyed that one The challenge was funny and they worked well together. The Jag vs M5 article was very good. The news was relevant and funny, the best it's been this series. Sienna was a surprisingly good guest, just my sort of wimmins. The greenhouse and exhaust gas skit was hilarious. If I were to gripe, they could have shave a few minutes off the challenge and other bits to squeeze in another car review, but overall a very good episode for a change.
