Moderators Carlos Posted December 29, 2014 Moderators Share Posted December 29, 2014 A few thoughts - was totally organised by some organisatio or other, possibly the government. The Police seemed powerless, has anyone been arrested? As it was all caught on film. Argentina seems like a tin pot despot dictatorship. The Falklands are fucking miles from there. You want some? We'll give it you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frank_spencer Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 It's all a big fake anyway. More staged than the WWE. Not even funny anymore or at least it wasn't when I stopped watching about 5yrs ago when I got sky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Arctic one was very good. This one was shite. The staged set pieces are getting very tired. It was a long two hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Cheese Posted December 29, 2014 Site Supporter Share Posted December 29, 2014 (edited) The fact that it's all so obviously staged does put me off, but I must admit it's easy watching. Watched a repeat the other night when they were pretending to have a race to find the source of the Nile in cars they pretended they'd paid £1500 for, and I watched it till the end. It's mind-numbing shit really, but sometimes mind-numbing shit is what you need. To a certain extent anyway.

birch-chorley Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 I used to live it but when I saw the one filmed in Liverpool where they raced some skateboarder through the city centre I felt cheated. Knowing the city as I lived in it I could tell it wasn't a race at all and they had jumbled up scenes to make up a race, the geography was all over the shop. Still find some entertaining mind, the chile one was good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Winchester White Posted December 29, 2014 Site Supporter Share Posted December 29, 2014 Topgear can at times be great 'Sunday night entertainment' but they always over egg the pudding and have done so for years. Not sure the Argy thing was actually planned though, the outcome certainly not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Spider Posted December 29, 2014 Site Supporter Share Posted December 29, 2014 The "challenges" were great to start with, but once they clocked how popular they were I think they started to over dramatise them. Pretending a tv presenter can magically fix a mangled wishbone is stretching it. Stick to racing cars lads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Cheese Posted December 29, 2014 Site Supporter Share Posted December 29, 2014 I'm pretty sure it's 'dumbed down' to the extent it is because the BBC make a fucking fortune selling it to the U.S. I'm sure I read somewhere that it's the biggest British entertainment export of all time.

I always gave an helping hand to our colonial cousins these days in the smoke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
