As above

Finally,man time.

And it follows the pilot episode of open all hours.
Doesn't David Jason resemble Mario in his younger days.

Not a great Gladys Emmanuel imho. Lynda Baron was much better in the role.

Really disappointing. The best bit was damien lewis.

Poor.

I remember Gladys been much less attractive when I was younger.
Go figure.

I enjoyed them both .

The rally bentley was good, as was damien lewis. Half the prog on that P45 thing was utter ballsack!

Tbh I enjoyed it as program's like fifth gear are a bit repetitive.

Top gear adds a good sense of humour,albeit random, to what is traditionally a boring subject.

Kept me watching and laughing like a girl for an hour.
Zonda is such a good car.
Individual,innovative and one larey way of spending a big chunk of money.

Poor start to new series. P45 segment was utterly boring and predictable.

Waiting for it on iPlayer. God knows how long it will take to get on there. Sounds like I didn't miss too much tbh!

P45? Is this something to do with old Rovers?

If only.....i'm not sure what it had to do with anything. I turned off before it finished which i dont think i have done before.

I enjoyed it apart from the p45 bit, it went on for too long.

agreed, it started well with the Pagani, and quite enjoyed the rallying Bentley, but the P45 bit was predictable and overly long....

I'd actually quite like to see some 'normal' car reviews...

Predictable YES, boring NO.
It keeped me amused for an hour and like JBT said 'man time'

Man Time !! literally, the second Top Gear started lastnight the missus disappeared

I sit through hours of her stuff, Vampire Diaries, Biggest Looser, Beauty & the Beast, Revenge....yet a 1hour prog once an week and she vanishes!

Gota love them though....

I enjoyed it, but perhaps it was just because it was a new episode and not one repeated on Dave that I've watched 20 times already.

That Pagani was rapid! Too quiet though.

An excellenr (although unsubtle) man day. Curry for lunch, Arnie at the movies in the afternoon and Top Gear in the evening. All topped off with a couple of beers and Chris Hoy's documentary about Colin McRae.

The documentary about Colin McRae was fantastic.

I've stopped thinking when I watch Top Gear and just try to enjoy it for what it is.

I admit that the P45 segment was far too long (or probably could have done with being left out altogether) although I did laugh at some of the one liners during the Dragons Den part.

"Can you really use children to work in factories?"

[squiffy eyed VoiceOver man]Jeremy has asked if you can really use children to work in factories.[VOM]

I have to admit, when leo said it was shit, and the voice over sugar coated I did chuckle.
I wanted to see the estate special, hopefully that one is next weeks

I do think the estate one will be one of the better episodes. I always like the expedition type ones.

+1

Agreed, legendary skill and ambition

I watched it on the train this morning and had to stifle my ridiculous laughter, especially when JC said he had his 'weave on' in the P45 on the motorway! (And also Damian Lewis' crossing of the finish line!)
Very enjoyable, but maybe anything is better than getting the train into London?
Got quite excited at the clip of the Clio, unless it was something else?!

The i dont know if anyone caught them but the previous driving legends were also pretty good.

I know it was McCraes nature but so many missed opportunities missed is such a shame. Hes already a legend but i do wonder if he woudl be even more so if he had compromised just a little and won more titles. I guess at least he was true to himself till the very sad end.

Its still a good magazine show, its not TG of the 90's but then its not supposed to be thats what 5th gear is for. Top gear is loose women man style!

Loose women. If it carrys on in then same vain as the last episode i won't be watch TG either.

Yeah the road trip ones are awesome.

And the repeats on Dave are the only reason I have a tv licence .
