    What a way to get rid of the reasonably priced car.

    Sorry but this is just plain boring. The dull, rainy weather is pretty depressing to watch, makes the whole thing worse IMO.

    getting to the stage where I cant stand Clarkson now, I like Hammond and James May but Clarkson just comes out with stupid stuff trying to be funny and he isnt! its a pity cause its a pretty iconic show

    OK, this episode was a let down until this Reliant test, Clarkson arriving at the owners meet was brilliant!!!

    I loved the Reliant feature, not sure I belived a single fact though. Great to see Phil Oakey out with the dog being so helpful. Little else to do these days really.

    That Peter Jones is a very fast driver for a big man.

    Pretty good episode over all. Big props to Clarkson for the Reliant crashes, May's volcano run was pretty cool as well I felt Hammond spot was pretty dull.

    Hammond ruining the in studio segments as usual with his crap attempts to be funny...

    I loved the volcano stuff and the reliant Robin stuff, the garden party was quite good as well, mostly when "Angelina Jolie" turned up.

    although Hammond also ruined that with the Louis Spence stuff.
    He's gay, we get it.

    A stronger opener than expected as usually the Summer series is total crap.

    the reasonably priced car bit was crap, an exact copy of when they got the last one.

    The Reliant bit was brilliant, haven't laughed so hard in ages. That will never cease to be funny :D:D:D

    hope its not true, TG will not last if they change the presenters! Its more about the "show" now than the actual car reviews IMO

    Agreed. Wish people could just shut up & enjoy the show while its still around. Its an hour of pure escapism, fast cars, explosions, fire & brimstone etc - with no f**king ads people! Fifth gear is better, jesus christ :rolleyes:

    Anyway Id like to see where this change of presenters talk is coming from, is it a BBC source or some gimp who thinks TG hasnt been the same since Clarkson got rid of the mullet...

    Reliant bit was funny, if a little overdone. Surprised they didn't mention their rocket attempt.

    Vuvuzelas in the Bentley was hilarious though.

    i was slighty let down by start the whole bit about cars needing proper burials etc was dull but jeez i laughed so hard i cried when the Robin tipped over the first time. Rewound it a few times to watch it again. Brilliant. Anyone know what else is going on this season?

    Check the Top Gear blog (link on their website), the producers usually hint at a few things.

    Who said that TG is getting worse? The robin bit was one of the funniest segments ive ever seen. I was in stitches laughing.

    The show does get the raw end of the stick if theirs some snooooooker on...

    Watched it today.. loved the Reliant bits and the little dig at ITV over the World Cup screw-up :p

    Weakest bit was the SITRPC segment, but then I normally skip through this every week anyway till they get to the actual lap (I've noticed that the pre-lap waffle has gotten longer and longer each season).

    To those complaining about the realism/style.. as someone else said TG has become about car-related entertainment and the banter between the boys, and on this score it still (mostly!) succeeds.

    Glad to have it back :)

    Id love to see May as the SIARPC one week, then Hammond the next, and Clarkson for the last of the season with the other two asking the questions. Id say it would be a proper laugh, really put them on the spot like :D

    The Robin Reliant segment was fupping hilarious, I replayed it to my sister and my mother who were oblivious to the fact that it was not as genuine as it seemed which was all the better really, well for me anyway it was and I kept my mouth shut about its legitimacy!

    Hopefully they will have replayed caravans with lots and lots of Robin Reliant fatalities.
