Agree it’s not what is was with Clarksons crew, but it’s a hell of a lot better than Evans, LeBlanc and those lot that followed before these guys took it on.

Everyone's entitled to their opinion obviously but all of the clowns that have hosted this programme do not have a clue what they are talking about - If you stripped an engine and asked them to rebuild it and time it up they would not know where the spark plugs went - Complete idiots - They don't understand gear ratios final drive ratios - They know nothing about vehicles at all so why are they delivering a car orientated programme - Its all about money and saying what they have been told to say to promote the highest payer of the week

Perhaps because it’s a light hearted entertainment program which involves mainly cars.....not a live version of a Haynes Manual

Well whatever floats your boat but its certainly not light hearted entertainment - It mainly involves trashing thousands of pounds worth of cars and spouting total crap with no automotive knowledge whatsoever to back it up and as they have a platform to spout this rubbish from many of the general public actually believe every word they say - You could get glue sniffers off the street to do that for a fraction of the cost - It does not need to be a live version of a Haynes manual but if you are telling the general public alledged facts about a vehicle surely that part should be true and honest and not read from a script in order to get their bonus ? - But if you find that entertaining then you go for it.

They are just stupid stunts, but to be honest that was all started by Clarksons producers

Was it authentic with their phones attached to the ears?

Well we enjoyed it. My other half wouldn't normally watch Top Gear but it was good to see Cyprus on the TV.

It was good to see what is just a few miles from where many of us live, but the show is dreadful, silly games with cars, please BBC scrap this lot and start again.
