May be I have a weird sense of humour but I laughed more last night than I have done for some time. :thumb: |
Some of it was funny, some of it wasn't that great.
As for anything else to do for an hour without actually having to exert any effort it was worth watching. |
I keep watching because...
a. They might just realise how bad it's got and improve back to the excellent show it used to be b. I get paid for watching it whilst at work every Sunday night, so why not |

I detect with their recent admissions to content not being popular, that maybe someone in either the BBC or TG production is noticing a shift in peoples opinions. Many recent shows have been heavily criticised by even die hard TG fans. I think they have hit critical mass with their audience numbers, and there are few new viewers. They need to either retain what they have, or go into recession. They appear to have chosen to abandon the hard core fans and petrolheads, but as the 8yo's and women get bored and switch off, they'll have no solid base beneath them and will begin to sink. The last Xmas special (India) was awful, and the two big specials prior to that were dire too (S.America and Middle East). If they think that once the jokes have worn thin, we'll all be happy watching them review a Corsa to justify an hour of TV motoring then they are deluded. JC is no dummy, and AW certainly isn't. I think they are just like the rest of us and bored with their current jobs. The money is good, so they are stringing it along as long as they can, but lack motivation to try and make something of it. If/when the firm collapses and they are made redundant, so what, it was great whilst it lasted.

Thought some parts were amusing,i think the lets take 3 supercars to Europe trips and end up at some race track are becoming a bit repetitive though. And the news seems to be just filling in time,why don't they actually report some real motoring related news instead of waffling on for the most part, MOVE ALONG.Been a fan of TG for years but i have been getting a bit bored with it,i'm actually thinking Hammond should be replaced though. James is excellent,adds a bit of brains to the show,and Jezza is basically TG and a bit mad :) Still i'm not complaining honest ;) |
Is it a case that those that have been watching it for so long have now simply out grown it? If that's the case then I think it's time for you to move on. :) :p
|
I think JC has outgrown it. JM has looked bored at times often, but even Clarkson has the look of a man who's thinking 'why am I still doing this $h!t'. Hammond would do anything with a pay cheque, no matter how crap.
|
If you find it to be 'crap' then simply change the channel.

Utter sh1te to be honest, bring back the good old days with Tiff and Quentin

it was keek of the highest order

I wish they'd get rid of Hammond- ive always thought he was the imposter of the show, and as someone said earlier, the guy seems to say yes to anyshow, so wish the little bugger would disappear!

What you are claiming is in utter contrast to what the global sales of Top Gear mean for the BBC. Quite simply if it was cr4p like you claim then it wouldn't sell globally like it does so you are in the tiny minority with your views of it.
If no-one tells you you're not doing well, you might not notice. They are capable of excellence, and I have enjoyed the show for many years. However, they are on a downward spiral, a view shared by an ever-increasing number. I noticed the quality dropping 3-4 years ago and was hounded for my criticism on here. Now there are more and more agreeing with me. Should we just let it descend into a farcical turd, or voice our displeasure in the hope they can rectify the situation ? If it were your multi-million pound business would you ignore the customers ? |
I too wish Hammond would find something else...... He looked a total tool with his hair cut of a 14 year old.
He creeps me out .. |

I never said I wanted 'old' TG back, just earlier TG. When they could open the show with 6-7 mins of a supercar on track, cut to a 3 car group test filmed somewhere stunning for 10 mins, then 5 mins of news before the toilet break during SIARPC. Then a mini feature for 6 mins before returning to the group test for the finale. Look on Wikipedia at the page about show content and you will notice that they featured 8-9 cars a show at one point. They''l be lucky to do 6 this season !

I really don't understand why people watch things they clearly don't enjoy. |

Last week, a Corsa :rolleyes: and a brief mention of a Panda :eek: riveting.
You want out of reach cars to most of the population reviewed all the time? What's the point? At least in hard up times we are in now it's a review of a small car selling its plus points of it can be fun even though it's small and isn't covered in spoilers. They are damned if they do and damned if they don't as they can't please everyone. |

LOL - my thread title was referring to the swearing.
Funny how the thread's been rail-roaded into a "slag-off-Top Gear" thread :D |
I think Eastenders, Coronation St and the like are utter sh1te.. Therefore, I don't watch them.
I don't really understand what winds people up so much about TG ? If it's no longer your cup of tea, don't watch it.. |
The first 2 episodes this series were great. This last one was rubbish.

Well said corradoboy, i couldnt agree more!!! The show just isnt as good as it used to be. I bloody love the show and have watched 99% them since it started but i just feel its taking a turn for the worse, which is a real shame!!
Its not just a case of "turn over if you dont like it" because its has been my fave program for years. Even if only 10% of the show is good its still better than the majority of ****e on the box!! And i dont want it to go down the pan!!:cry: I just feel they have lost their way, and need to listen to the bbc license payer who is growing bored of the drivel they are churning out!! :razz: |

Of couse some episodes aren't as good as others but that goes for any television series. If you don't like any of the episodes simply stop watching and stop posting how crap you think it is. I don't watch soap operas as I think they are sh1te, I don't watch them and then go complaining what utter tosh they are. |
