Top Gear

A couple of weeks ago i took a few days off work as i was feeling proper ill ( it was man flu ). Top gear on Dave was the highlight of daytime television. It showed some oldies and the previous weeks top gear. Dave has got to be one of the bestest channels on freeview.

I was rather surprised to see the current series of Top Gear on Dave, with them starting at the first episode, they mainly kept in the task to find the best Road to drive on in Italy, Switzerland etc, heck they even kept in that 5 second shot of James May in the nuddy.

Yet they cut out the News bit and when they started to light up with the special Porsche pipes.

Does anyone know if and when UKTV along with Dave will go into proper widescreen soon?

I have seen some Top Gear on Dave from the 2006 series which is broadcast not even in the 14:9 compromise but in a terrible cutdown 4:3 with a terribe look to it.

I was wondering if they will ever change to full widescreen. I wish ITV1 News would too.

UKTV will switch in spring 2008, and ITV News early in December.

I belive there don;t what the news as it will old

Last sunday was the Funniest I seen in years! it was All right on the nigh funny! it was that good

Some say that the "cheap car for under £x00" concept is tired, and that the boys will run out of ideas soon. All we know is that's called "Bull ****".

I've heard it's switching in late January

Yeah that's right, of course Spring is 21 March-21 June. Must have got dates mixed

The British Leyland bit was great, Especially Jeremey's Rover P1

The week before was a bit of a weak episode as they had two reviews and a silly bit at the end (the motor home racing), which kind of answered the question "should they have more reviews in the series?" Answer, No

The lads are still on form & I hope they continue to do so for many years to come

I have been ill and out of school all week and Top Gear on Dave has been a great pick-me-up. It is my favourite TV show, hence its initials in my username.

The task in which the boys had to buy aging super cars for £10,000 or less and drive them from Bristol to Slough doing challenges along the way was hilarious, especially when May arrived with his car on the back of a tow truck and when Clarkson said he had got a low insurance quote on his because he had told the company he was a doctor.

Top Gear is a programme that will never get old as there are new cars being produced every week and the boys are so entertaining they will never lose audiences. As long as they are willing to carry on, it should.

Have to correct you, it was a rover sd1

Balls, I knew there was a "1" there somewhere, the SD1 was notorious for poor build quality wasn't it?

The only thing that was really any good from British Leyland was the logo:
