Top Gear (British Version)

The BBC should at least air the three cancelled episodes that had been filmed. I can understand scrapping the filming of the episodes after that. Top Gear as been a big part of my Sunday evenings growing up. I have seen every episode in its current format. In the first series they made a James Bond car! That was unbelievably cool when I was 9 years old hah!

I think kmhour is correct when he says it is good that the show ended prematurely before it got stale. Season 22 (current) had been a great season so far. The episode with the ambulances stands out as amongst the funniest ever.

I don't live that far from Clarkson and his children go to school in the town I work in, you do see him from time to time. A colleagues friend crashed his car, shortly after Clarkson walked passed and said something like "that won't buff out" and walked off. Offered no help and simply took the piss out of the guy, Clarkson does not care for the PC lefty brigade and I think that is what makes him so popular. He says what we think without any concern.

Insane SJW insists that only 'die hard' Clarkson fans will be disappointed by his sacking, that Top Gear is successful not because of but in spite of him, and that a woman is needed to host the show to 'de-masculinise' it.

Quote:Quote:

This could be the BBC’s opportunity for Top Gear to ditch its macho image, start giving Britain’s girls some sporty female role models and prove that cars really aren’t just for boys.
If it loses a few misogynistic fans in the process, then who cares? Chances are they’ll be replaced by a hell of a lot more female ones.

'The most successful non fiction television show ever, which draws in 350 million viewers a week, is bad and wrong because it is too masculine, and no one likes that except misogynists, and it needs to change because I don't like it and it'll be much more successful anyway.'

Erm, I guess I am too misogynistic to point out that a lot of viewers who are female watch for the entertainment value and the fact three men are dicking around. They have female fan bases for fucks sake.

But they never let on that it does.

To join the favorite episodes conversation, for some reason I'm a fan of the "practical" challenges. The race across London and the used car for a teenager were some of my favorites.

Every woman I know who likes Top Gear likes it because of the presenters and the style. This...journalist....thinks people watch the show in droves because of a love of cars, and merely put up with the blokey atmosphere. Truly delusional.

I remember a Top Gear UK episode where they were in Rome and the host claimed that people down there have no respect for traffic lights. last time I was there I recall people actually stopping regularly at redlight. maybe we should try some twitter outrage since british are so sensitive to pc issues.

Indeed it was, and absolutely the last thing I needed after falling over and bruising my ribs that morning. When it hurts to laugh, the last thing you want is the most hilarious episode for years.

And the last bit, with Hammond firing his 'patient' through the window, was fucking sublime.

One of my favorite comedians, Frankie Boyle, on Clarkson.

Essentially saying that Clarkson is trying to be edgy for the sake of being edgy, without any actual content, as opposed to his own jokes which are extremely edgy but require the audience to think about real issues in the world in an uncomfortable way.

Frankie Boyle may be funny, but he is a Scottish Socialist who hates the monarchy and anything right wing (such as Clarkson).

It looks like the new hosts have been chosen for Top Gear.

At least it is better than the alternative.

Newsreader Angela Rippon, the first presenter of Top Gear, says she would return to present the show following Jeremy Clarkson's sacking and would like to see a woman back at the helm

I think I'll wait for the new Clarkson, Hammond and May show instead. It's apparently set for Autumn.

Ironic that Amazon founder and liberal Jeff Bezos is trumpeting this show.

Clarkson is basically the "misogynistic", "racist" pariah of British television.

Mind you, WaPo, which Bezos owns, has a tendency to surprise. Leftist claptrap one day, and the next day it decimates the makers of the UVA rape hoax.

First episode of The Grand Tour was great. Pretty much old Top Gear with new locations and a higher budget - but wasn't that what we wanted anyway?

Grand Tour was fantastic. I think the hiatus and change in management is exactly what those guys needed. Comparing three hyper cars is nothing new, but no one does it like Clarkson, Hammond and May.

I noticed that earlier seasons of Top Gear (2-17) are streaming in Amazon Prime now. What cracks me up is that Amazon inserts a 15 second spot for Grand Tour before every other episode. I'd love to know how Amazon pulled this off, as all these seasons disappeared from Netflix about 2 years ago. Netflix still has 18-22 at the moment.

Just watched the first episode of The Grand Tour and it was great. Yes they have a higher budget and the feel of the old Top Gear is still there, but the most important element is just the chemistry between Clarkson, Hammond, and May. I could probably watch them just sitting around talking about random BS for an hour because their funny and mesh well.

This is in contrast to the new Top Gear which is a flaming bag of dog shit. I went in with an open mind and the cars, production values, and cinematography are still great but that doesn't mean anything because the cast doesn't work well together. Had to stop watching after a few episodes. Couldn't stand that pole smoker Chris Evans most of all. In a rare good move BBC has canned him, but now that The Grand Tour is out I don't see Top Gear lasting much longer. Well the BBC made their bed, now they can lie in it.

Top Gear returned tonight - cut down to three hosts, Matt LeBlanc (I've always like this guy, blue pill TV shows or not), Chris Harris (I have previously seen and enjoyed some of his car tests on YouTube, motoring journalist and race driver) and Rory Reid (never heard of him, motoring journalist).

I completely skipped last season after all the horrible things I heard about it - not least the main host who thankfully left.

First episode of the new season was pretty good, quite a lot like old Top Gear and already pretty decent chemistry between the three hosts, although some of the jokes felt forced.
The Grand Tour wasn't exactly perfect through it's entire first season run either, particularly with the silly celebrity braincrash segment that would have been a nice one-time gag that they instead ran into the ground over the entire season.
