December 29, 201411 yr 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.
December 29, 201411 yr Whats happened? Nothing new, just the Argentina incident was on telly last night
December 29, 201411 yr 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.
December 29, 201411 yr Not sure the drivers that got hit thought it was a fake. Can't believe that the number plate was not deliberate though
December 29, 201411 yr 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. Faked, staged, whatever I like it. Oh and there's been a lot of top gear in 5 years and 90% is top notch IMO
December 29, 201411 yr Faked, staged, whatever I like it. Oh and there's been a lot of top gear in 5 years and 90% is top notch IMO I like the travelog stuff. The Arctic one was very good. This one was shite. The staged set pieces are getting very tired. It was a long two hours.
December 29, 201411 yr Faked, staged, whatever I like it. Oh and there's been a lot of top gear in 5 years and 90% is top notch IMO some of it i enjoy, some i dont anybody watching top gear than slagging the format/presenters can fook right off you know exactly what youre going to get
December 29, 201411 yr 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. Edited December 29, 201411 yr by Cheese
December 29, 201411 yr 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
December 29, 201411 yr 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.
December 29, 201411 yr 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
December 29, 201411 yr 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.

We sold London Bridge to the yanks, and the daft fuckers thought we sold Tower Bridge.
December 30, 201411 yr We sold London Bridge to the yanks, and the daft fuckers thought we sold Tower Bridge. A fool and his money are soon parted.
December 30, 201411 yr Yanks in London during the 70s with me watching Bolton, must have got ripped off to fuck. I always gave an helping hand to our colonial cousins these days in the smoke.
December 30, 201411 yr Anyone that watches top gear is a moron and a sheep. Telly for plonkers with nothing better to do on a Sunday night that watch mind numbing shite. Same type of folk that force feed their children chicken nuggets. Scum the lot of you.

December 30, 201411 yr Not my type of thing Tbh.. Driving round in cars I can only dream of affording... And that's before they get in the new ones..
