I was quite disappointed in the last series.

According to the SKY Digital tv-guide:

"Jason Barlow reviews the new Renault Laguna II, the team asks whether the MG Rover will get back into the big league and there's a report on how Ireland is preparing to take on Detroit"

My TV-guide magazine says:

"Jason Barlow test drives Citreon's C5, and there's a report on whether the MG badged versions of the Rover 25, 45 and 75 will put the company back in the big league"

Sounds pretty boring - but I'll give it the benefit of the doubt...

The sometimes have nice snippets at the start of the season.

Fortunately for Top Gear, due to the lack of car programmes on TV we end up watching it anyway.

It has to be said TG is going downhill, it is ripping off Driven which isn't much better and it was better with the old guys.

Buttie Vickler-Henderson is worth a look though!

Oh I missed it, what a shame that is

I would never have contemplated missing an episode a couple of years ago either my viewing tastes have changed or TG has.

The only car program I rated last year was the one on SKY with the chap who was building his own Pilgrim kit car (Cobra replica) it was very good and funny too.

WHen Driven started I thought that it was cr@p compared to Top Gear. Now they seem to have reversed - although Driven has not really improved, TG has just gone downhill...

I tell a lie - I like Jason Plato in Driven
