Top Gear (2002-2015) Phase II (2016-)

Lego trailer for the upcoming series. Hehehe.

That's how the show will end up, Lego actors.

Some say the Stig is already a Lego man.

there was a live streaming thing apparently. Don't know how this'll link. I'm still stuck in 1940.

Very nice. Thanks for that, Hilly. I'll check it out tomorrow.

No worries. It's a longer series, 22, 10 episodes I want to say but more than the recent batch of 6 or 7.

Some say this might be the most pointless YouTube channel ever...



and that if he posed naked, he wouldn't balance a bottle of champagne on his arse.

Past its best?

Probably but it won't go on forever, the trio seem to think it'll end soon regardless. They're getting on a bit (so they say) for it.
There's still the North Korea special to do which'll bring about WWIII.

Yes; having seen that Argentina one I just wonder whether there was anything to it other than the controversy that was caused. Nothing much seemed to make it necessary otherwise.

It did seem a bit flat but maybe it was overshadowed by the nonsense that ended it. This being said I've read some people saying it was actually harking back to the very early days but who knows anymore.

My friend hammered home that they (or specifically Jezza) seek to do dickish things and many dickish incidents and are dicks so they get what they deserve. My social circle is a frightfully small one.

After watching tonight's opener, of the opinion that Goldeneye should've featured a few trams as obstacles in the tank sequence. Or Bond in a hovercraft.

Three Bond films featured musically, aforementioned Goldeneye, FRWL of course and Thunderball (Under the Disco Volante I think)

It was fun, I think a rewatch without one eye on social media on my phone is called for though.

it was. Felt a bit like old times. They admit as much that they've ran out of ideas and they'll plod on until the end. Confess to liking the Clarkson apology about Argentina...he was wrong you know, the condor isn't the largest bird.

Can't wait to see Top Gear versus the US Top Gear. Though I think the German bash was the best just for the fact the boys turned up in Spitfires.

Tonights TG was personally a funny affair. Be it May's tailgate disaster or Jezza flirting with a pixalated dummy's penis, it was a decent way to pass time before the BAFTAs.

I laughed a lot, particularly at our intrepid trio falling foul of the various liquids expelled from the 'accident victim' dummies.

Bought a ticket for the live arena show today, it makes its first ever visit to little ol' Belfast in (James) May :) .

The boys haven't been to Belfast? I've not seen them and even if I could I wouldn't be able to. Tickets seem to go quite quickly wheever, unless it's Durban apparently.

Poor Hamster copped the lot of that liquid. May's car was doomed to fail and Clarkson clearly thought his idea would be ideal until he climbed in. Pretty sure Stig got some of that liquid too.

And forgot say, good to see the P45 back. Bet the Daily Mail went into a frenzy when that bloke went flying though.

I'd imagine the Mail would be all for faster ambulances, as long as they were for those with private healthcare only and the plebs were left to take their chances with the standard service.

Abso-flaming lutely.

Still, I'll take my chances with the P.45. Seemed the safest of the ones shown (TG made anyway)

That's police cars and ambulances tackled ... fire engines in a future episode?

I think this show needs to be put to sleep.

I'll pay money for that. But it'd have to be done in a secure environment. Like South Georgia, as far away from anything to be done properly. Somehow done at TG HQ, I forsee something like Hiroshima.

Hehehe, yes indeed!

Tonight Hamster suffered atop a mountain with presumably his camera team. Taxing at first it was not too bad a little bit but personally, Clarkson should've been stuck up there. The mountain that is. Would've taken two weeks with Hammond and May never mind four days.

I chuckled along heartily to that item ... poor old Hamster. And Gillian Anderson looking foxy as ever as the Star In A ...

I see Clarkson has entered into a Twitter spat with a Labour MP who said that Top Gear, to him, just looks like pompous middle-aged idiots in sports jackets and jeans sounding off (although he then admitted he'd never actually watched much of it). To which Clarkson's response was 'Good, because we don't make it for people who wear pink ties' .

Poor Hammond indeed. Still, he would agree to it. Should've seen more of Clarkson and May in that Canadian tire shop. May was rather keen on that brush hybrid thing.

And I saw the Twitter spat. Well, in the Times Saturday. The producer said the MP must be Mystic Meg to know what's in the show as even they don't know half the time. Lot of air about nothing really though my friend would see this as another dickish thing and why Top Gear is for dicks.
