Loved Freddie strapped to the roof, very funny. Interesting they showed his HR at 110 all the time, but it did in fact peak at 160. I think I'd have been more interested in their average HR.

That's how I feel. Paddy is just not interesting, he's thick, and can't drive and isn't entertaining.
Freddie is that mate that always shoves chips up his nose and tries to set fire to his farts.
Chris is the more straight laced one that just wants to crack on with the plan and gets frustrated with the others for being daft, ends up becoming a psychotic killer.

First week Paddy wasn't trying to bash BBC1 over our heads finally.
Chris is great...proper journalist, great driver, obvious passion for cars. I find Paddy fairly amusing if only for his banter, and I think he's a natural presenter, so I can see why he's there.
But as above, Freddie just appears to be a boorish and not much else. Doesn't seem to know much about cars, be that interested in them and isn't really great as a presenter. I don't know why he's there, other than to just be the kind of "lad" I'd go out of my way to avoid.
That said, I enjoyed the latest episode. It was a bit more of a return to form...three nice cars, some silly challenges, and a great feature on Stirling Moss.

Yeah, loved that segment and it's something Top Gear have always done extremely well. Same can be said about the cinematography, amazing camera work with the drones in this episode.
The reverse flip whilst following the Panamera was awesome

The Moss section was superb, the rest rather meh.

One of the worst episodes of top gear I can recall in a long long time

Hated the last few seasons of the Clarkson era, didnt find it funny, there were too many stupid segments and they relied on Clarkson pushing the boundaries to keep people entertained. Whatever the **** that episode was, it was worse.
It was pretty ****, they usually have something good for the last episode of the season. Will have to vote with my eyes next year and not watch.

Going to Don my flamesuit here but I thought the episode tonight was brilliant. Maybe it helps I'm a Northern lad and Blackpool is 10 mins down the road. Enjoyed the Alton towers bit too, a place I've been many times as a kid. The paintballing was also entertaining.

I loved it. Mash cone was a triumph.

You serious? The mash cone was funny but that still left 59 mins of *****
