Just watched it on iPlayer and agreed it's much better!  :y

Bit strange that the Jag they had in Seff Effrica was a left hooker on Eyetie plates?  :-\  Surely given the unlimited resourses of the BBC, if they had to ship one out they could have found a RHD at home?  ::)

Just watched it & saw the first one last week , got to say I prefer it Clarkson & co just got sillier & sillier in my opinion. I never used to like Chris Evans a few years back but don't mind him at all now, Clarkson just seems a pompous ass.

Was I the only person who thought Eddie Jordan didn't come out of that very well?

I would have loved to have a go at that final drive up to the highest pub in Africa.

Latest show.

Seems to me that the Beeb thinks that everything can be made ok by just throwing license payers money at it. I mean how much does it cost to have super cars racing around a major Middle Eastern city and also a muscle car vs electric car thing in the USA. Transport, hotels god know what else. The end result is just benign mindless twaddle with no real atmosphere or sense of involvement. Clarkson et al would achieve the same result in a field in bedfordshire at a fraction of the cost.

Also, dump Evans and make the Friends guy Matt somethingorother full time. Evans is just plain infantile.

I would guess that it doesn't cost the BBC that much. Probably the transport and hotels for the crew. If cars were my product I'd stump up quite a bit of cash to have them on Top Gear.

I actually think the new top gear is getting better, and probably interests me more than the old one now. They've figured out that LeBlanc is a better presenter than Evans and moved the latter to the background and added a few fresh presenters to the mix.

Still wouldn't alter my routine to watch it, but if I'm bored and it's on catch-up.. :y

Just seen the Mirror online, seems the ratings are still dropping and there is talk of them axing the show.
