The childishness of Top Gear
« on: 14 February 2009, 15:07:13 »
Just watching a repeat of Top Gear - the Alfa one - and am having an uncontrollable laughing fit due to hammond constantly driving up the back of May.

Now this is very childish.  But bloody funny!

the 3 or 4 grands worth they destroy is nothing compared to the production costs of just making a normal programme.

I imagine the Pole one was expensive.  The others probably not that much more than any other OB

The way they drive into James May's car always tickles me as well.
   If i was lucky enough to be there i'd slam into Clarksons all the time just to show him he's not above such antics himself. Not that i'm confrontational or anything!!!!!!!! ::)

Top Gear is one of the shows which actually makes the BBC some money. All of the merchandising, DVD's, magazines etc. Plus it, or the shows copyright format is sold or shown worldwide. The excellent documentaries by Attenborough are the same but cost much more to make, in some cases, like Life in the Freezer, 2 years or more. If it weren't for the repeats I wouldn't need a TV!!!!!!!!!

Top Gear - fantastic

Attenborough - excellent

Coast - very interesting

Anyone seen the Oceans series on BBC-HD?

They go from the highs of above to Deadenders
