The return of the men in white suits telling richard + jeremy that their cars was full of bodily crap LOL

Some lad isn't he!

Heh

I predict complaints about the electric car road test, mainly about where they parked in the services.

Yes, it’s official: Top Gear is back for Christmas, and we’re heading to India. Tune in on BBC2 and BBC HD at 8pm on 28 December. We’ll have more news for you later, but now over to big boss Andy Wilman for a few words on what you can expect…

 

The backbone of the Top Gear specials has always been the toughness of the challenge, from the frozen North Pole to the desolate salt pans of Botswana to the jungles and mountains of South America. But, this year, we’ve taken on our biggest challenge of all: sorting out the British economy. Let me explain. A few months ago, Mr Cameron said our nation must become a favoured trading partner of India: currently, we do more business with Ireland than with this country of 1.2 billion people. Top Gear, we thought, could help solve this problem with a trade mission, flying the flag for UKPLC. Our plan was to drive across India, drumming up interest in British goods, advertising the peerless standards of British skills, British nous, British Britishness. We would make the Indians think: “No, we shall not buy mayonnaise from Belgium, but Angel Delight and Kendal Mint Cake from the British.”

Usually, on Top Gear challenges, we give ourselves a pitiful budget of a couple of hundred quid for each car. But, this time, Britain’s reputation was at stake. We couldn’t be seen sitting in a puddle of engine oil by the side of the road. You don’t see Prince Andrew cracking out the spanners on his foreign visits.

This is the only programme I'm looking forward to this Christmas. Should be good!

I've got a few, this, Doctor Who and Sherlock :awesome:

I thought there was going to be a Royle Family Christmas special again this year but I only learnt last week that it had been pulled from the schedules because a script couldn't be written in time. :(

 

Still I'm happy with Top Gear though. Always worth every penny of the license fee. They do a couple of very dangerous things on this trip apparently - one involving trying to put up an advert on the outside of a train they were travelling on I think!

Very good it was yesterday :)

:lol: @ 3m30s

I thought it was okay, but it felt like they were barely in their cars, which to me is the best bits and I think they did too many little challenges rather than focusing on like 2 big ones idk, there were some funny bits like the train bit but I was kinda disappointed.

It is back on the 29th Jan :)

Couldn't watch more then half of the India special, so, so bored. When there was that staged joke about English muff or something I just gave up, such a shit show these days.

I agree Top Gear has gone downhill!!!

 

I think it is less focussed on the car and more on big actions to draw in the ratings, its a shame as it used to give some really good reviews.

If you want a serious car reviews show you have Fifth Gear.

 

Top Gear is a massive brand which is one of the few programs on the BBC which is self-funding and puts money back into the license fee pot

I would hate Top Gear to be all serious, but they kinda need to get that balance back of funny and serious

And now the Indians are moaning about Top Gear, they are a bit slow off the mark ;)

It doesn't make it any less shit though, and I do watch Fifth Gear as well, I don't see your point.

If you don't like it, then don't watch it.

I don't generally watch it anymore, and I definitely don't watch it while masturbating like you do.

 

Stop being so fucking defensive about your shitty little Top Gear and accept that some people may not like it.
