TG walk a very fine line between believability and making their tasks look completely staged. The trucks task was just far too obviously staged for me to enjoy.
I agree that this stunt was overly staged,
"oops the nissan micra accidently fell out of Hammonds trailer."
However I still found the task very amusing and overall a great start to the series.
It was a comedy set piece involving three blokes larking around with HGVs, gaining a new respect for them, giving me an insight into how difficult HGV driving is....
...all in all I'd say it was a good hook to get new viewers.
Loved the first episode and i have to say it just shows what a hard job truck drivers have and i have more respect for them now than i did.
The Daily Mail should just stop complaining for once, ive stopped buying it now because ime fed up with the BBC bashing. Clarksons comment may have been a bit over the top but everyone that i know that watchs TG knows it was only a joke and its his sense of humour.
After all of the controversy of Jeremy's joke there is now a new game called Run Clarkson Run where you have to avoid truckers and pick up licence payers money!!!
