top gear

[Withdean Wanderer]

You don't need to care who wins to make football entertaining. Well, not at this level anyway. And you can record TG, as I have done. What's the problem?

I struggle to sit through 90 minutes of a game however,l I can watch the highlights on the web, but there is no guarantee there will be any.

Has Luis Aragones tried to jump 72 feet worth of scrap cars going backwards in an Austin Allegro?

No, he has not.

I rest my case.

 

[Frutos]

Actually he has. But because you're watching Top Gear you missed it.

Did he die trying? I bloody hope he did.

 

[Frutos]

Oh there's NO highlights whatsoever to talk about. It's been rubbish. I just thought you'd be watching.

I've been flicking between, but more TG than the Euros.

 

[Frutos]

That's a bit uncalled for, Steven. What's not to like about Luis?

He's a racist old tosser.

 

[steward 433]

Sensible me watching the footie on the computer and top gear on the tele

 

[champion7]

That's my plan too.

[Barrel of Fun]

[Scotty Mac]

He's a racist old tosser.

aragones shook hands with virtually everyone as he got onto the team bus, except for the one black person in our team. although he was wearing a french shirt

The only top gear I'll be looking at

Without repeating his comments, were they as bad as doing a Ron Atkinson?

 

[clapham_gull]

I have absolutely no interest in cars whatsoever, don't own one and haven't driven for about ten years.

It's absolutely the last programme on earth I would watch if I hadn't ever seen it, but I really enjoy it.

This is probably due to the fact that the strength of the programme has nothing to with cars at all, but everything to do with the fact that it sticks out as a very well made and entertaining programme.

It's very very well made (crafted at times) and really beautifully shot on the external specials. Script is a bit contrived, but the camera work and editing more than makes up for it. The chemistry between the three presenters is also very good and at times it's hilarious.

So much stuff on television looks terrible these days, but Top Gear shows that they are still some very very talented technicians out there.

The only other programme I can think if that "looks as good" on BBC is coast.

 

[Beach Hut]

I just find it very funny and the driving is just a side show to the actual program which is really about the presenters who are very entertaining.

 

[itszamora]

Yes, possibly worse. The man is indeed a racist old tosser as Frutos astutely points out. Shame really because I rather like his team, and am glad they beat Italy who didn't even try and play football tonight.
