Love you OP

I see Stiggy was at the British Grand Prix, wonder if there'll be a tie-in now the Beeb have F1 rights (just as sport is self-destructing)?

robdig

A good article by the shows producer Andy Wilman:

Wow... you were right good call

SV

The Stig!!!

Big Nelly

I dont believe that!!!!

_Kaiser_

I knew it was him all along!

Big Nelly

Sorry but serious lap beforehand, makes a joke of watching Button earlier in F1, god bring back Mikey!!!

L1011

Not a hope has it been him every week / if ever before.

merlinsmerryman

Complete set up with the lap before, but brilliant tv :D

BoardsRanger

Bit pi$$ed off with the interview with Schumacher- i mean they finally get one of the best drivers in history on the show and they waist time talking about ducks and knocking over horses!

2qk4u

I missed it.... is there any where I can see it now ?

Big Nasty

Forum very quiet the last hour - everyone watching TG?

So is Schumacher the *real* Stig or just another publicity stunt?

And it's also been proven that they do have 'fast lane' hoggers in the UK too!

Rowley Birkin QC

No way is he the regular Stig, absolutely no way.

Delighted to have TG back though, my Sunday evenings are once again excellent. My girlfriend compared me to an excited child.

I thought that was a good episode, liked the race from London to Edinburgh. The steam engine Clarkson was in was an amazing machine.

RoscoBosco93

Anyone know when this will be replayed?

L-M

Sums it up perfectly, so Jeremy does.

"All the internet geeks wondering who he is!" :P

Although I still don't believe it.

Also @ the talking about ducks comment, it's Top Gear! What more do you expect?

positron

He's not Stig! TopGear, even with their budget, probably wouldn't be able to afford him on a weekly basis. Brilliant episode though!

UhOh

1:10 around the track in the FXX :eek::eek::eek::eek:


wonder what the real stig would have done in it?

I want one of those orange shirts JC was wearing

bookerboy

Anyone know if Top Gear live is coming back to Dublin this year?

Zonda999

Lads, here its says that the FXX aint even road legal. I thought that a car had to be a road car to go on the board! Definitely a set up for the whole schumacher thing

bmm

i think it's repeated on friday at 9pm bbc2 , (except bbc2 ni analogue)

CianRyan

Missed it ..............

bazz26

You got laugh at Clarkson's smugness. He got on the train thinking he was driving it only to be told he was to shuvel the coal.

xTanyax

Yeah I missed it too! Here's alittle clip of it:http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=the%20stig%20revealed%20himself&rls=com.microsoft:en-ie:IE-SearchBox&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=ie7&rlz=1I7ADBF&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wv#

I don't think that's the one they used.

pburns

Lads, seriously, don't mean to be rude but anyone who even considers for a nonosecond that Schumacher is the regular Stig needs an IQ test.

Like a guy who earned about half-a-billion during his career and 7xWDCs is gonna turn up at an old airfield in rural England each week for the last 7 years or so, don a silly helmet and drive a Chevy Lacetti:rolleyes::o...

Same goes for the Damon Hill suggestion...

There are a couple of Stigs depending on vehicle being driven. AFAIK it's Ben Collins most of the time, on special occasions someone else (the Renault F1 car a few years ago was Hekki Kovaleinen - he was Renault test driver that year). I've heard Hamilton was Stiggy once or twice before he was famous but dunno if that's true...

Indeed it is ..... Just checked the bbc site.....

Phew...:D

Alright lads, i think it's time this was handed over to the Top Gear forum, no point in having the same conversations going on across two forums.

All I saw was Static.... Nothing but fizz and crackled.... and something that looked like Hornby. I should get BBC2... I pay for BBC2... but it don't come through.

/me is trying to find it online and failing.

I am sitting here shivering like an addict desperate for his fix of heroin.

anybody know how to spoof a UK IP for BBC iPlayer?

EDIT: n/m, I found it. But I would've raped my granny to death to see it.

dublintuition

Can I catch tonights episode online?? I missed it tonight. Maybe its been uploaded onto you-tube but Im not sure what season this is
