This series has been a let down (it pains me to say that BTW) watching them walk onto middlesbrough pitch at half time with Newcastle tops on was pretty funny though

Atleast they had the sense to swap back to Boro tops before being pelted with 2p's lol.

Crap series! Was good to see Jenson on there and looking very relaxed and happy.

We went to the 'art' show at Mima. So if you thought the programme was boring..... Probably would've been better if they'd still been there when we were though.

P.S. I like the show, it's entertainment. If it ever gets to the point where I find myself not enjoying it anymore, I'd simply stop watching it.

I'd listened to the match on the radio and the Radio Nottingham commentator told us what they did, which made this predictable.

I preferred the response by the Forest fans though, who summed up tonights show pretty well.

Especially as Newcastle had just beaten Boro 2-0 live on BBC1 earlier!!!

I am sure that irony could not have been planned in better.

Thought it was pretty good, would have liked to have seen a drag race between the Noble and other cars. The Noble must be about 500BHP to the tonne mustn't it?

Another perfectly good car destroyed by the *******

Wonder how much that episode cost?
Apparently the Belfast footage costs were approaching £200K for what - 10 minutes or so?

quite a good show i thought, was looking forward to seeing the F1 car under the ultra violet light, but i think they managed about a 2 second shot before they mooved on.

thought 'My Plumbs' was funny though

What a pile of crap he has wrote. So if the fans don't like TopGear anymore so what? they're gonna keep doing it their way?

Bring back 5th Gear all is forgiven!

I agree, in the past its been fairly obvious that a lot of the things they do are staged but they were good at what they did and they could disguise it well, in recent times its become embarrassingly obvious that a lot of the features are staged and you can see whats coming a lot of the time.

The only good bits from last night were them walking on the Middlesborough pitch in Newcastle shirts and the feature on the Noble, the rest isn`t worth a mention.

Its not as good as it used to be but I like it.

You can't expect a series like this to keep going without going a bit stale. Whats the alternative? No car related show at all?

said this to the wife last night, utter ****. first 5 mins were good, then the usual 50 mins of filling time wth complete ****. time for a rethink on the programme i think, more cars, less time burning caravans and dropping pianos on cars. and what they did to that twingo last week was pathetic.

It’s fair to say this incarnation of Top Gear is nearer the end than the beginning, and our job is to land this plane with its dignity still intact.
