Yay!!! Series record pressed, thanks for the heads up

I think I'd have missed it even if I saw the listing, as I'd just assume it was a repeat lol

Yep, I wasn't very impressed.
They all seem a bit 'over acted' now.

Wouldn't mind if there was some cars in it but they spent a good 20 mins pratting about with that garden reception that made cringe! Should of watched mega prison on ITV 28 or some other pants program. Aaaarggh!

To be honest, I now find Fifth Gear much more informative and a little entertaining. Top Gear, is on its last legs now.
