Hmm.... I know what you mean. I've just sort of 'gone off' it, really - it's nothing particularly wrong with it, either format, or presenters as such. Just feel a bit 'eh, I'll catch it on iplayer, sometime. Maybe' feeling  ??? Don't know why.  :-[

I am sure they will have revamped the slightly tired format to tempt you waverers back into the fold.  ;D

It will be nice to have something to veg to on a Sunday night.

I'll probably give it a bash to see more examples of what I'll never be able to afford, but like DBG I do feel it's a bit tired now.

I believe it is this Thursday that Kyle gets sprayed in the face with a bit of CS gas so I'll be watching that (Kyle Files), and will probably watch Benefits as well (CH5) to see how the scum live off us and (more importantly) to see just how lucky I am in reality.

Not watched any new series for a couple of years now, must have out grown it now,or its just not the same as old.  :(

Think Ive still got last years iPlayer unwatched downloads kicking around on my Hard Drive somewhere, so could in theory turn back the clock on the Lappy to watch them, probably easier just to hit the delete button and move on.  ::)

Despise the bloke. Hypocrite, trash tv, and the amount of people who I know that do watch it, defend their own televisual tastes by saying "oh, I know it;s rubbish, and not real etc.. but that's the good bit about it, it's funny.."

NO. NOO! Don't you see, you're voting with your remote controls!? By watching it, you're giving it ratings, thus proving it's wanted/there's a market for this kind of trash tv.

They're creating the world that warps a little girl who could be a doctor, lawyer, astronaut, biologist, researcher into curing virulent diseases or whatever; then she looks at the media around her drip-fed brainwashed from birth -  sees the huge plastic tits, the airbrushed fake women, and then the sit on their backsides wasters, given free money by the government (well, us, actually) to lay on their back and get pregnant from the age of 14 onwards, who then become 'reality TV stars.' Try and name three female athletes from the last 10 years of Olympics.. now name three female reality TV starts that have inserted bottles up themselves, or being famous for being a thick, racist, tacky, sleazy, sleeping with a footballer, flashing their bits on a magazine, kiss n tell story with another celeb.... now consider which you'd like your baby daughter to grow up like. And also how sad it is that society we have built and continued to build rewards sleaze over intelligence and hard work. >:(


Not sure how this relates to Top Gear... ??? Oh, yeah, I read the words 'Jeremy Kyle' and exploded. That's it  :D ;D :D

 :D Ahh, nothing fancy, just natural flavoured spring water, a slice of lemon, couple of ice cubes, in a tall glass - with just a dash of Tramadol and LSD.

Yep. I think I'm starting to see more and more the ways that the camera can manipulate the 'truth' we see on the screen, and as soon as something stops being believable, the magic is lost. That's why I'll always love a 50s or 60s War film - ie: ok, sometimes there's models and yes, when used the Special Effects are laughable by modern standards - but when you see an airfield strafed, in the Battle of Britain, the way - the only way - to do it was to fly an actual aircraft 20ft off the deck, and set charges and explosives off in the grass/ground. And when a guy looks like he's running, barely 10ft from the explosions and fireball - it's because he is!! And for me, that's the magic.  :y

Ok, similar thing - the Red Arrows. Joy to watch - but if we programmed a computer to fly some planes in unison, it'd be every bit - and maybe even fractionally more - accurate. But no-one would pay a penny to see it. It's not 'real' it's just a computer.

When they fake all this stuff, that's when I get bored and start fiddling with my throttle body on the floor.



Edit: Must stop referring to my girlfriend as my 'throttle body.' It is derogatory to women  :)
