Voila you can access all BBC and ITV streaming videos.

I think this is probably what my sister/mother have done in France since the satellite can't do BBC anymore


Some kind of Android box something anyway......



Again you've got Internet speed connection to contend with presumably

It'll be three guys fannying around in various cars, with very little reporting done.

Most will still look forward to watching it as it's good entertainment, myself included. Some will not look forward to watching it but will watch it anyway just in the hope that it's changed it's format and suddenly become more interesting, but we all know that it hasn't but the haters will watch it none the less.

Those who have enjoyed it will contribute to a thread on here saying how they enjoyed it but the thread will be spoiled by the haters who will jump on the bandwagon say how crap it is and dosen't feature enough normal cars.

Every episode of the entire series will go like this.

Exactly. I loath soap operas (and the people that religiously watch them as it happens) so guess what? Yep I don't watch them. And I don't feel the need every week to go on Digital Spy and slag them off.

If you think TG is crap, don't watch it and don't post about it. How simple is that?

To all the people that say it should be more oriented towards those knowledgeable about cars, why? Its audience would drop off overnight, as it is it is light entertainment that appeals to a very broad audience and makes the BBC a lot of money! Who in their right mind would change that?

Personally I find some of it good and some of it less so, but as Ali said compared to the other fodder the BBC churn out it's a masterpiece. Treat it for hat it is and enjoy it or find something else to do :thumb:

Unfortunately I think this might be one of the last ever series of top gear, the new series has 10 episodes as well as the Argentina special at Christmas, so this might be one long final series?

STI8Dave 25 January 2015 03:17 PM

Gives us something to watch until MotoGP in march i guess! :)

Very much doubt it, TG is one of the BBC's bestselling shows worldwide.

Didn't see that coming :eek: errr...yeah......Well said.:D

A few minutes in and it looks like it could be a brilliant 10 episodes.

Kwik 25 January 2015 08:38 PM

Captain slow in the La Ferrari it would seem.

c_maguire 25 January 2015 08:57 PM

Anyone notice how they don't use motorcycles in their challenges?
I wionder why, they would probably win nearly all of them perhaps?

What were they? I couldn't tell.
I like it.

So there.

joz8968 25 January 2015 09:03 PM

lol @ The Stig

scoobyland 25 January 2015 09:10 PM

The Stig was funny, dropping books, stopping to look at a dead pigeon, and banging his head against the fence because he couldn't get to the Porsche.

Maybe people should do them as pranks.

I 'think' they were the Texas flag, I can't see what Texas have to do with this series though.

Lee225 25 January 2015 09:16 PM

richie001 25 January 2015 09:17 PM

RA Dunk 25 January 2015 09:23 PM

'Chil-eh'

scoobyland 25 January 2015 09:31 PM

How come the americans never have a sense of originality? Using the same flag as Chileh (Chilli).

Did anyone notice they used two lambos for the piece on the
Huracan, the reg's were EV 350KG and EV 351KG. I guess they
had a problem with one of them.

Hammond fell off his bike twice, so if that's anything to go by, he probably crashed it.

Quite enjoyed Clarkson trying to control the hovercraft

Oh right yeah, you do realise that was probably staged, especially when he "accidentally" took it onto the beach :freak3:. I did enjoy watching Ed attempting to drive.
