Why has it descended into such a childish programme?
I've been watching maybe 10 years, that's all I know it as?! Yeah, I quite enjoyed it. You can see they're all genuinely having a great time.
I don't expect a review. I just expect the car, in some form or another, to factor into the program. 45 minutes of the program was dedicated to the BMW, Tesla and Volvo and what did we get from that? Or to put it another way, swap those for a 2005 Mondeo, Vectra and Passat and what would the difference have been? Nothing, because the cars were just something to clamber over and **** in.I found it funny, surely by now anyone expecting a car review program must realize they are watching the wrong thing?
my biggest annoyance was that it was this or Long Way Up with my hour of TV time and I definitely picked the wrong one!
But as said, where have you been for the last 10 years? You're posting like you're surprised or this is some new direction they've gone in?

I know they are only press demo cars but the wanton damage reminds me of when I used to work with kids who got kicked out of school. Stamping all over them, whacking the doors into each other while playing 'hot lava' with the floor , coating the inside with coke and bodily fluids, driving it like an ape and smashing the side off it. Even the hot laps which might have given us the slightest insight into something car related were ruined by tooling around.
The script having Harris as the bullied nerd because he's into cars seems an odd direction to take... in a car show
Its only a TV show so I don't really care, my biggest annoyance was that it was this or Long Way Up with my hour of TV time and I definitely picked the wrong one!
I started watching it because it wasn't about cars, it was about Clarkson and his mates messing about.
It is still a car show though. I don't expect relevant consumer advice but I do expect the vehicles used to be of at least some relevance. You could have completed half the stuff in that 45 minute segment with three cardboard boxes for them to clamber over and for Flintoff to take a **** in / McGuinness to cover in coke. What really was the relevance of the "company car" aspect of it? Again I'm not looking for consumer advice, just some comprehension of what the narrative was meant to be. All I got from it was that Bolton can remain on my list of places I don't need to visit and that randomly picking things from previous episodes of Top Gear doesn't automatically translate into something entertaining.But as said, where have you been for the last 10 years?

I'm sure the car challenge episodes will be much better but for me the main feature was just 45 minutes of nothing interspersed with 15 minutes of generic 'doing skids' by Harris.Again, I don't get how you're surprised by it's contents? It's been like this for years and years. It's a show based around cars, yes. It was.
I hope they do more informative pieces such as celebrating certain cars, drivers or teams from motorsports. I have always liked those as a detachment from the foolery.

It's got massively more childish since these three took over
