I thought they both were good.

Kate Silverton has a lot of detractors - I think they are all gay!
Alledgedly, her coworkers have said she is a nasty piece of work. "Natasha Kaplinsky with brains" is another common statement.

I am a bit annoyed at this series - it is the Jeremy Clarkson show - give Richard Hammond and James May more time.

Clarkson is doing more than he used to - and it is spoiling the programme

Agreed. I also find that it is turning into a talk show... I reckon around 30mins is consumed with the "special guest" (now 2 at a time?), the "News" and other general drivel.

I was very disappointed with last nights show  :(

Trouble is Clarkson is on a big fat pay scale compared to May and Hamster, and he is also a major stake holder in the rights to the show. So whilst I agree I'd like to see a bit more of the others, they may want him to do a larger slice of the "work" as he's gettting a bigger slice of the pie.

Even so I still think it's one of the best shows on the Box and only Clarkson could get away with describing Keira Knightly as just an Ironing board with a face [smiley=lolk.gif]

I think Top Gear needs to be turned round quick. They are really scraping the bottom of the barrel of interesting celebrities to invite, so as a chat show it's pants. The "buy a notoriously unreliable Italian 2nd hand motor and flog it to death" challenges are getting tedious and the rest of the show is just Clarkson venting his spleen and acting like a idiot.

It's a shame because Clarkson's newspaper columns show he's actually quite good at putting across a cynical view of current affairs with a motoring slant, IMHO, but it all seems to go wrong on Top Gear. Maybe because he's always got to be seen to belittle his co-presenters.

It stopped being a worthwhile motoring programme ages ago so it absolutely has to be entertaining to be a success, and it's not currently.

She used to be on one of the chat programs a few years ago,  I thought she came accross as a bit of a bitch.
