On the test track, Jeremy Clarkson enthuses about the Ferrari 458 Italia, and actor Jeff Goldblum is the Star in a Reasonably Priced Car. Last in the series

wonder why they do so many seasons yet so few episodes in that season

surely 7 seasons of 12 episodes would be better ?

You haven't. TG is like Grand Designs where several shows in any series are 'revisited'. Same content, jokes and silliness as a previously shown episode with 3 minutes of new footage tagged on the end.

Oh, and they've done seasons with six episodes before (S7, 9, 11)....

The 'Special' people are talking about the benefits of the **** Oil Change, the reasons behind buying a car you don't want and therefore have to modify it - and why they didn't have the sense to buy what they wanted in the first place ............. should be entertaining

'Best of 2010' on next week. Must be a 5 minute gap filler.

I saw a 458 in Monte Carlo a few weeks back... it went down the road following an Enzo! I nearly did a sex wee!

Don't know about the show, but I wholeheartedly approved of the soundtrack. "The Light Pours Out of Me", "Shot by Both Sides" and "Permafrost" by the wonderful post-punk band Magazine all featured.

Anybody any good at seraching SN history. There was a thread with pics (think from 28DL) of the old TVR factory, complete with incomplete cars.

Either a handful and it'll be blown out of all proportion, or loads because people don't have a sense of humour anymore.

I could've been on through the middle of the night and people would still complain.

(seriously though it was live athletics, just in case you weren't sure)

Great episode last night. The classic British sports cars film was brilliant, and very sad. But the ending in the empty TVR factory with all those immaculate examples in there was great. Really makes me want one

Oh and Clarkson's Evo driver comment really made me laugh

Another 60% rehashed show. The sports car segment was almost identical to the British Leyland item they did a year or two back, visiting derelict factories and a bit of mock racing. And not dissimilar to quite a few other items. The 458 review was stunning, beautifully filmed and WHAT A CAR ! Guest was a bit drab, another car enthusiast-less Merkin.

Another thread killing post from the negative one

Anyway - I can't believe that nobody picked up on the number plate anagram thing.

The one they failed to mention, on the clapped out TVR

CTU 131N



well apart from one person....

The obvious clue for the uninitiated being Clarky saying "lots of anagrams about" and the camera immediately cutting to the TVR's number plate.

Two, if you include me. I wouldn't have had the conversation about complaints with Bravo based on the other 2 anagrams.
