Put that on the TV and put Top Gear on the computer. You can watch BBC 2 live on iPlayer.

Cheers but it still freezes after every few seconds. & the quality on the streams isn't that good so i'll wait till after it finishes, think it takes a few hours for a good version to appear on iplayer.

Yeah, I've stopped watching it now. It was driving me insane. Now I have to wait until my parents have finished watching Doctor Who, then watch it on Sky+ during which my dad will try and talk to me Rolling Eyes

Are they seriously going to let it get this bad?

It was so boring, unfunny, and so poorly staged.

I don't mind the staged parts normally, but tonights take it way too far....James leaving the car behind a truck, Having to sleep in their cars, without realising they are next to a dam, the whole 'crash' aswell, we are expected to believe there has been a hard enough collision to pierce the coolant bottle....yet left the bumper of the lambo with not a single mark?

The last series was pretty bad, but this episode really was absolutely terrible. They showed the laps of the merc and the BMW in full. They rarely show full laps of any car, let alone two pretty boring ones.

I think they should give up fairly soon if this is how it's going to go downhill....try and leave us on a high note.

No were not. If anyone does they are stupid. It is called entertainment and if you let obvious set ups get in the way of you enjoying a tv show then don't watch it.

I enjoyed the Romania segment, but the rest of the show felt a little padded to fill the time. Still a good watch and better than 99% of stuff on TV in any case.

100% agree. I think these recent rumours that James May might be off soon could well be founded upon the fact that Clarkson is a cock and Hammond is his lapdog. And James is far more intelligent than this show will allow for. I wouldn't be surprised if he considers all this staged bollocks beneath him.
I can now take it or leave it. Most probably leave it.

personally i was disappointed when the "challenge bit" was announced to be with new cars, its far more entertaining when it gets a bit more scrapheap challenge - esque.

dull episode in my book.

The staged shite follows the same lines as sarcasm used for wit.

The Dacia they smashed with the lorry...am I correct in assuming that was paid for from the BBC licence-fee?

Who in their right mind would ever pay £100,000 for a BMW! Shocked

You can get one of those flashy Bentley GT's for £40,000 less then what that BMW costs.

Saying that, i wouldn't mind being a passenger in one tho. Laughing

As for the programme itself, i'm not really a big fan of Top Gear, i only really watch the bits they do in the studio.

I agree. Cheap car challenges are the best for entertainment.

And plus the cars they used were hideous, that Ferrari California. Sick Lambo was nice, only because they never change the styling or try something different.

Its funny that the whole point of the challenge 'to find the road, was concluded in 3 minutes when they found it?

Same old crap in my mind.

Worse thing about it is that I'll watch it over and over again when its shown on Dave. Thats all they show!

They show Qi which is superb.

They also show Mock the Week, Have I Got News For You and Nevermind the Buzzcocks which are all pretty good.

I'll give you Have I got news, the rest is never allowed to grave the TV, I'd rather watch mainstream TV instead, yes even a soap!

Trawlermen isn't bad for a UK version of the biggest catch.

The way they show the same programs in a constant cycle all day is just the final straw sometimes. What am I suppose to do on my time off?
