I would add something like "I love Top Gear!. It's an entertainment show that you should take at face value and not over analyse about scripting and proper reviewing. If you want a proper car show- watch Fifth Gear or something, if you want a fun car show- then watch Top Gear. If you can't be arsed, then bully for you!."
Of course all that I have just said can easily be summed up like so:
I've never seen it, but I think Sassafrass(?) likes it.
Can't really make an informed opinion, gonna go with "Don't really care either way"
Appy?

It's one of my favorite shows evah, and I'm not even a car guy. BBC has some awesome stuff. Sure beats the hell out of half the stuff we've got over here in America.
I love Top Gear. I would call it one of the last bastions of male TV programming, but that would be sexist so I won't.
There's a reason it got voted no.1 TV program of the last decade by the public.
Yeah, there are naysayers, and if you don't like it, don't watch it.

I clicked the fail option purely for what it's become. It used to be great, but has become more than a little tedious.
Plus, there are obvious factual errors that just can't be ignored.
1) The Veyron isn't the fastest any more and no amount of arse kissing to VAG will make it so. Stop it!
2) The fastest car around their track that can still get over a speed bump (and is also used as a daily driver), is the Ultima GTR720 at 1m12.8s. Top Gear have ignored numerous requests to feature the GTR over the years. There's only one reason I can think of, it's a full 5 seconds quicker than the current board leader, kinda removes the will it/won't it suspense the next time they test the latest 800k hypercar.
Plus, Clarkson, I just can't stomach him any more. The rot set in with the test of the Ariel Atom when clarkson first got a bit carried away and said "nothing on four wheels is as fast as this......nothing", which is patent, proven bullshit.......the numbers don't lie. He then proceeded to say that it was more exiting than a big bike could ever be. Really? A bold statement indeed from a man that is too insanely big to ever be anything but ludicrious on two wheels. I ride big bikes and have been in a lot of very serious cars, four wheels will never compare to two for excitement.
And hammond is in too many places on TV now. Overexposure will be his downfall. The only one I actually find interesting to watch any more is James May.
Anyway, rant over!

'Sooth, N'uncle, t'is a form of entertainment most grandiose in it's japery and caterwauling brigandry, led by that most amicable of buffoons, Fool Clarkson and his dread Vezir's, May and Hammond.
It MAKES the BCC money!!!
They sell it to tons of other countries: $$$
I think that gives it a "waste of money"-free pass.
You know, for not wasting but earning...

What is an SBS?Pararaptor said:
And why does it show Top Gear (BBC) and Skins (Channel 4)
ON THE SAME CHANNEL! IS NOTHING HOLY ANYMORE!?
Aah, I see, it's in Australia, everything is backwards there.
Actually wait, UK Top Gear or Aussie Top Gear?
OT: I absolutely love Top Gear, but I think that it isn't really about the cars as much anymore, it's about the presenters making arses of themselves.
I still love it, Just for different reasons.
EDIT: I also know a chemistry teacher who is James May's clone, I swear, he dresses like him, he has the same hair, and he sounds exactly like him, right down to the "Oh Cock"
How did my comment get into the poll?
The frack?!
