TV Top Gear - Season 10 - Page 2

I was pleased to see the show was seemingly back on form.

As Craig said, there was just a little too much emphasis on the arsing around in the last series, and not enough motoring action. Not that I'm against arsing around per se (I've even been known to do it myself), but the previously perfect balance seemed to have been lost.

Suze · 11 Oct 2007, 08:17 (Ref:2037465)

I think Hammond is just looking old full stop.....!!

It seemed a good balance this week so am looking forward to the rest of the series.

Good first episode. That Golf was a bit mental, while the road they found was pure class.

JIMGOD · 11 Oct 2007, 17:44 (Ref:2037891)

good first episode. great seeing may sweating behind others. 10 episodes not enough.
girlfriend thought hammond looking bit gay too. could be a women thing.

looking forward to see if they can keep the action up for all series.

i tell you what guys, this new top gear season looks awesome! can't wait to see the rest of the series!

SALEEN S7R · 11 Oct 2007, 22:02 (Ref:2038082)

Great first episode, like others have said last season was great too but at times there was a bit too much arsing about, (although the trip to the US was a classic!) last weeks episode had just the right balance of mucking about and action.

chezza · 11 Oct 2007, 22:13 (Ref:2038088)

When they showed the series tit-bits it looked like they were going to be doing more boats...which should be good!

Suze · 12 Oct 2007, 08:23 (Ref:2038297)

yeah that was on BBC news too a while back....and a race up the Thames sortof thing too.

Apparently they're going across the channel this time.

I really enjoyed the first one - it had a nice balance of mucking around and talking about cars. Loved James May's choice of car for their European road trip.

The STIG · 12 Oct 2007, 20:15 (Ref:2038807)

They have only gotten into trouble twice this year

The boats caused them real problems from a government agency who got upset that they weren't let in on it (allegedly). The other was due to some driving in Africa.

Put it this way, the amphibian race this year is a bit more impressive than last year's across a lake attempt.

btcckid · 13 Oct 2007, 15:59 (Ref:2039291)

i will look forward to he boat race tomorow-it will go back to normal for the top gear boys!!!

Meanwhile, from what I believe is technically known as the Department for Get A Life You Useless Tosspots...

Who on earth is going to start smoking because they saw people on Top Gear with pipes?

Rockmunky · 16 Oct 2007, 12:38 (Ref:2041692)

You can watch the uncut news sections on the top gear website.

They looked sooo ridiculous that it would put you off, surely?

In any case how are they going to prove that it was tobacco in there? They could have been smoking anything

Ralf's Girl · 16 Oct 2007, 15:49 (Ref:2041883)

According to the article on the BBC website it was "herbal tobacco". That is controversial.

Rockmunky · 16 Oct 2007, 16:12 (Ref:2041912)

They did seem to be giggling a bit

Knowlesy · 17 Oct 2007, 18:59 (Ref:2042964)

Do the people who complain about these things have jobs they could be doing instead?

Who sits there watching an episode of Top Gear and gets so upset that they throw tantrums at Ofcom or whoever? It's not like it matters.

These people make me want to start smoking again!

J-C · 18 Oct 2007, 12:16 (Ref:2043510)

I get the impression a lot of these groups watch TG for the express purpose of being able to get their own 5 minutes of fame afterwards for complaining about something!

gravel_monkey · 24 Oct 2007, 00:51 (Ref:2049791)

i met all the guys and (several) stigs at the silverstone 24hr. i was marshalling at it. all i can say if they have the footage right then this will be one amazing episode. the best thing was all the guys were like caricutures of themselves all weekend. most of the other race teams questioned why they were there and allowed to race but i have to say despite several setbacks and some hairy moments they aqquited themselves briallantly and would be welcome back anytime. its on 25th november and well worth the watch. it will show you what these guys can do if they try and stop pratting about!

btcckid · 24 Oct 2007, 08:15 (Ref:2049949)

that would be good to watch-so they raced for the whole 24hours?

Knowlesy · 24 Oct 2007, 18:45 (Ref:2050494)

Well, they lost about a hundred laps when Hammond stacked it into the barrier.

**Craig** · 24 Oct 2007, 18:51 (Ref:2050502)

Ah, yes. "The 'daredevil' Top Gear presenter, Richard Hammond, has suffered another high speed shunt less than 12 months since he was almost killed in a TV 'stunt'" as it was reported on the radio
