Good to see Top Gear still managing to have fun with their credits. Tonight everyone was 'Archbishop desmond [insert name]'.


Just a shame some numpty decided to squeeze it so it wasn't readable...


It was the same numpty who on the programme preceding had some continuity woman rabbiting all over the voice of someone else that was part of the programme.

They've really lost the plot now. Imagine going into Waterstones or WH Smiths and discovering the store had scribbled over (or even ripped out) the back pages of a book. You'd go somewhere else to buy your book wouldn't you....?

Not really the same is it? The credit's shouldn't really be the highlight of any programme.

Highlights or not, they're part of the programme, and should be left alone.

I agree with that, I just had issue with the analogy you used.

I suppose it could be better compared with the author's name being scribbled out with a black marker pen?

Yes, or the copyright page being ripped out.

I couldn't help think that Top Gear were going slightly OTT with the safety precautions for Clarkson's driving. Though they understandably needed some considering the car's track record.

It was amusing to watch the interview with Simon Cowell, mainly in Clarkson taking the p*ss out of most things and getting called obnoxious (by Cowell). At least he admitted to having filmed it two weeks ago, I guess before the Daily Mail found out and made a headline.

Apologies, but I have only just seen last week's episode, so am a little late with my comments.

It was truly amazing though, funny, factually interesting and well shot. They showed the true beauty of the place, and I personally was inspired by the scenery.

The race across London on tonight's episode was brilliant, who would have thought that Hamster on a £1,500 bike would be the fastest? Plus The Stig using the Bus, Tube and the DLR was rather amusing to watch aswell.

I think it was a bit of a joke. Considering there was a running helecopter there and he drove right through them in a dangerous F1 car thats road legal.

I presume the helicopter in vision was just for show and not part of the emergency services... just he usual helicopter used to film the aerial footage... they just never show the helicoper obviously?

But don't forget if it was the rescure helecopter for the EMS at the site there would have been no reason to show it on camera.
