Is it me or are the antics of Clarkson, Hammond and May now getting a bit tired and contrived?

I was just thinking tonight that it's a shame that one of the BBC's best comedy shows is its motoring magazine.

No, it's you, it's fab... Apart from burning down a 3 grand caravan, and someone elses...

I'm not a mega fan of the show, but I don't mind watching the Repeats they show on UKTV G2 in the daytime.

Though I found myself watching and preferring Richard Hammond in Brainiac on Sky One, which was back for a new run tonight.

Are you kidding? It's the best show on TV bar none. And situations like the burning caravans wouldn't have been shown without prior consent or clearance - most likely it was the film crew's caravan.

Burning down a £3,000 caravan?

That's about 25 licence fees!

How could I guess that post was written by you even before I saw your name? We get the point that you're opposed to the license fee - just give it a rest.

Thats a good stat actually, makes it seems nothing out of the 60,441,457 people in the UK. (Yes, I counted them all)

I'm sure most people would donate 25 licence fees to burn you

Are you kidding? Tonights episode was hilarious, and had some good car tests too. Perfect mix of car testing and comedy. I loved the caravan on fire. Laughing

Top Gear remains highly entertaining and always very humourous.

Even if you're not that interested in cars, I would say it's worth a look.

Top Gear is brilliant, one of 2 programmes I have enjoyed on the BBC in the last week (the other being Rob Brydon's Annually Retentive). Jeremy, James and Richard are a great team and the show is always good to watch. God bless UKTV G2 for showing it too every day!
