Top Gear

I enjoyed it too. Though the show has done pick-ups before, there's plenty of other things to do, and Asia seems a home from home for the show.

Good stuff again, I probably found the micro-cars more appealing, but the Grossglockner more than Paris.

Almost a normal edition this week, with rallying, an "F1 car for the road" and of course a Range Rover test. Driving through a stream would be little more pleasant than a dried-up one.

At least they put a different spin on "hey, kids, isn't motor racing cool?"

I wish it had been its own thing, a separate show, as it made for a boring episode of Top Gear imo.

I think it would have been a bit better if Chris had done it

Like others, I missed the last one on Sunday night, but praise be for repeats, blessed be the licence fee, and now I have seen it. Quite a fun end to the series, a charming fast car review, a not particularly original but still pleasant look at delivery vans, and then an also not original but still well meant look at family cars.

I do wonder whether Flintoff's injury might be the beginning of the end for this line-up. He might want to go on and on, but I wonder whether it might prey on Paddy's mind more.

BBC 3 are showing Top Gear America on Sunday nights, two eps at a time. Only 35 minutes, and fronted by Americans and filmed in America, but a good watch for all that. Actor Dax Harwood is the main presenter. They seem to tend to do two-part "research" things, with a "proper" review in the middle.

BBC3 are showing new eps of TGA, weeknights, one last night, one tonight, tomorrow night and then check listings if you're that bothered. Or iPlayer, maybe, I dunno. They did a good thing on supercars last night by going to Montana.
