| Top Gear
Those of you who know this eternal programme on BBC TV will know it as the Jeremy Clarkson Show!!
When Top Gear first started it highlighted the latest innovations and marks of new cars, new ideas and engines. A top show for people into cars.
Now its a three man show on who can do what, where and when. Like racing from point A to a kensington hotel on public transport, boat and car. Racing a small plane from Italy to London and other eqaully stupid ideas, all I might add, at the expense of the british taxpayer.
Jeremy Clarkson, who I am a fan of, fronts the show with two others, one of which nearly died racing at 200 MPH+ along an airfield and losing a wheel with subsequent hospital treatment, again, at our expense.
Its about time this show stopped wasting our money and got back to basics.
This is also the show that tried, and failed, to wreck a Toyota pickup by bashing, fire, drowning and crashing, to no avail. The best advert Toyota never paid for. After all that treatment, which included being dowsed with petrol and set alight, and drowned in the river severn at Bristol, it fired first time after a bit of a silt removal cleanup!!!

| Top Gears one of my favourite shows. Love watching it.
The challenges and races they do are comedy. Clarkson just makes the show what it is, but James and Richard do a lot for it aswel.
Long may it continue  | |

If it wasn't for the stuff your complaining about top gear would even be on the air anymore, they had to change it as nobody was watching the old version.  | |
