Thank Christ for women. Saw most of it in my GFs house, including the cringeworthy Star in a Reasonably Priced car, which was even worse than usual it must be said.

The police car challenge had me in stitches though, especially the hamster's Vitara:D!

Agreed. Although there have been a couple of good "interviews". Rich Hall was fantastic a few years ago and I like Michael Gambon's interview as well. Apart from that its usually the low point of the show.

Kristin Scott Thomas' interview was good too(and no I don't find her attractive).

There have been some brilliant ones, like that, Ellen Mc Arthur and Simon Cowell but most of the time it sucks.

Jee-ZUS! All the negativity about 'Star in RPC':rolleyes:...

It's not that bad!

Clarkson is an old pro in the interview segment and it's all very tongue-in-cheek. Adds variety to the show - it'd be all very boring if it was a constent diet of Jeremy on a test-track shouting 'POWWWER!'...

The police cars bit was hilarious, especially James May's siren

Re the guests - I've seen JLC before and think he's a funny bastard. I've no idea who the ultra camp gay bloke was though.

They do a show together!! The Whatever Night Project on Channel 4 (was Friday, think they said it's now Sunday in the interview). I've seen his stand-up DVD and he's a funny bastard too.

The police car segment was hilarious, all right!

I have been a fan of Top Gear for years and have always liked the "new" formula........but.....it's becoming a bit stale now and I was hoping they would come up with some new stuff for this series.

The "Star in a car" segment can be entertaining (depending on the guest.....Yeah, Rich Hall is a legend) but it is dangerously close to becoming a bit of airtime for f**kwit "celebs" to plug their new record, TV show, aftershave or whatever.

I like Clarkson but jeez.....give us a break.....the show might as well be renamed "Jeremy Clarkson kisses Ferrari's A*se for an hour"

IMO a greater variety of cars should be on the show and Hammond & May getting more time on their own reviews......they are both much more entertaining than Clarkson.

Let's hope they do better with the rest of the series.....I love the challenges/races they have against each other so more of them please.
