Top Gear

Decent end to the series, more like the familiar format, Paddy even (almost) got to handle a whole review himself. Seems to have gone well.

Liked the mad Greenland race thing, especially when trying to drive across a lake and I knew that Flintoff was going to sink Overall the series was good, it's a shame for whatever reason they have that a) you don't see the Stig going around the track and b) What happened to Rory Read? He was one of the best presenters Top Gear have had and yet he appears to have either been moved elsewhere or dropped without any explanation?? I hope they bring him back and Sabine, the mad German bird too. 9/10 but I still wonder what other countries will make of these three let alone McGuinness and Flintoff's accents!

About time they retired the programme it's now more of a comedy show than a car show. A complete travesty of what it used to be.

I see the most recent series is on Dave already in an evening spot (whereas the LeBlanc ones have been Sunday morning stuff).

Which show how highly thought of it is to warrant a evening slot

The Nepal special runs next Sunday.

Dave viewers can enjoy new/old episodes this week: 3 called "Winter Blunderland" compiling wintry-themed skits from Jezza, Dicky & Jim, and 3 more called "Top Fails" or something. Check listings etc

The Winter ones were pretty good, Fails a bit better partly because Actual Richard Hammond was fronting them (they seemed to be from BBC America, which would explain a lot).

Scheduled after the watershed. That's unusual...

Probably because of the language used....
