Default Top Gear tonight.... how many complaints then??

After the use of the "b0ll0x" word several times!!

Someone said it on Radio 4, and they could (a)apologise enough and (b) apologise enough multiple times!

Oops

If people complain then it's not a program they should be watching. I thought it was funny. If people are upset by mild swearing they should turn off their TV and never switch it on after 8pm again.

It was terrible, only thing funny was Clarkson's accents.

I know it is always scripted but this one creaked from on predictable gag to the next, lacking any spontaneity and I think they thought it was **** as they did it.

Forget the swearing and scripted scenes people should be complaining about Hammond's haircut! The guy looks like a ghey midget.

He lives around my area, and well, by all accounts, isn't exactly very popular due to him having "little-person" syndrome.
That said, fair play to him from starting with nothing to what he's got now.... a castle, iirc.

He'd still be a local radio DJ if it were not for Clarkson in whose light he shines.

and he is another person who confirms my theory that people with "little-person" syndrome invariably drive Porsche's

Agree with Dingdongler about the Hammond 'hair', was it a dare or something!?

Apart from that I enjoyed the show, I actually quite liked the whole stunt b*ll*cks and I usually don't like it when it's that contrived, and the Canadian fellow was a pleasant enough guest.

Actually I was too busy watching the cute redhead behind him...

That's why SNet is so quiet then maybe, we've all had every conversation we're ever gonna have, and no-one new is joining the fold. Must admit, I only come on here out of habit, and boredom at w*rk (where I am now). Always liked it on here, but it's getting so quiet it's hardly worth even the little time I give it.

I did not watch it and it looks as though I did not miss much...as usual.

I must say that Hammonds programme about what we can't normally see in life is extremely interesting and very well presented. James May is also a good presenter as Clarkson can be too as long as the three of then are not on the same show.

That was filmed about a mile from where I live!

I remember driving past and seeing a red jag on the day back in November I think.

I enjoyed it. It is entertainment with some cars thrown in, not the other way around.
The same old people keep watching it and keep complaining. I hate football, so I don't watch it.

They should replace Hammond - he's just an idiotic fool now, worse than clarkson.

Enjoyed the show though.

My vote goes to Ryan Renolds replacing him - funny as

Not the best show last night, but I did laugh a few times.

Better than their usual scripted pap.

Oh yes, I even before it did explode, I just knew the wrong caravan would explode.
