Love Top Gear, hate Hammond. The man has become a complete tool.

Normally a fan of this but last night I switched it off about 10 mins before the end when they started on the wedding run. Got a bit too silly for my liking.

Watched some of it, cos I'd been given the heads up after the filming on Weds.

Switched it off after they announced the wedding thing. Never really liked the QP, much prefer the 4200 GT, but wanted to see what they made of it.

I watched it to see Rubens take Mansell's 'F1 drivers in a resonably priced car' crown. There is life in the old dog yet.

Glad I wasn't the only one!

i've always been a fan of the new format 'comedy' top gear, but it is getting pretty lame now, it seems they stumbled upon the comedy format a few series ago, and it was funny..... now it is so clumsily contrived, it is cringeworthy at times. Shame really.

I still watch it without complaint but even for me last night's episode was scraping the barrel for entertainment. The wedding thing is the worst they've done by a long way.

No ! The radio show was awful, both 'art gallery' films were dire, and the Scirocco advert was turgid. All from the last two years IIRC ! Everything seems so rehashed now, the ideas have run out and they're just repeating stuff with a bare minimum of novelty to try and extend the run. I keep saying it, but get them back to reviewing cars please.
