Sounds brilliant, missed it yesterday, will iPlayer it this evening. Looking forward to it One of the few shows that everyone in our house finds funny.
As an aside, why do people watch shows they don't likeoh: Anything on the telly I don't like and its off or over, too many nice things to do that sit through something I'm not enjoying.
Tis alright,
Shiftzz was doing research for his grumpy old man slot on another channel.

Seems you watched it all then.I found nothing funny at all; they bought stuff and threw it into the bin, nothing wrong with it at all. They then destroyed two caravans and its contents, damaged two cars.
Aerosmith plank, destroyed a car, he was 65 going on 12, very juvenile. :Blush:
The Hampster went to Italy to drive a £2M car. Which must have been flown into the UK to go around test circuit the result of which was binned because it’s not road legal. oh:
They even ‘admitted’ that there was nothing new (Porsche 911) in their show and their isn’t either, it’s the same stale same old juvenile rubbish.
“They say his eyebrows are made of steel” etc.
They have destroyed a caravan in a previous series, the set it on fire and threw it off a cliff.
Yep, it has its fans, yep it’s funded by the taxpayers, yes its crap, and yes it needs taking off the air and that smug look on the presenters faces wiped off, permanently.
Well past its sell by date.:thumb:
Bet the crew retrieved all the goods from the tip.Its not real, its a program.Not at all..
How anyone can find two 'adult' men driving to B & Q filling up their trollies with brand new stuff, then taking it to the recycling centre and dumping it in a skip, that is NOT funny.
If anyone does, then please go to a B & Q spend £200 on goods, bring it to the next meet and I will take it to the tip for you, lets see how much you smile then. Better still add your laptop and mobile phone and that will make it hillarious. NOT. I bet not one funster will take up this offer.
The Lamborghini Sesto Elemento, they have only ever made 20 for track use only, so the relevance to the average UK TV Licence payer is NIL, it was only to fill in air time and fulfill these three morons over inflated ego's.
Aerosmith - Jeeze, a 65 yo who pretended to be Mick Jaggers brother so he could get his leg over. Besides "Walk This Way", very little spring to mind?

As I understand it the Top Gear brand is owned jointly between Clarkson the shows producer Andy Wilman (making them very wealthy but meaning the BBC don't have to pay them huge salaries) & the BBC so no tax payers money would be spent on the making of the show, the very popular world wide live shows + the magazines DVD's etc, Top Gear the tv show has been the BBC biggest selling export show in recent years generating millions in revenue that can be then spent on other shows for those that don't love Top Gear. If Clarkson is throwing anything away smashing it up or setting it on fire seems like its coming out of his own pocket, With regards to the latest HyperCar test I for one want to see it getting bounced of the rev limiter tyres shredding in clouds of smoke, we are never going to get a chance to try it for ourselves ( unless those 6 numbers pop up ) I don't want to know the boot size or mpg figures of the latest eurobox I can go to my local showroom for that
TOP GEAR... Long may it live :thumb:

Jeremy Clarkson's success was in danger of becoming embarrassing for the BBC. Arguably it already has as the BBC won't say how much it has paid to buy out the Top Gear motormouth from his share of the profits of Top Gear's commercial activities.
But given that the business generated £15m in pre-tax profits in the last year for which full figures are available, at a first glance it might be speculated that a 30% share could be worth as much as £10m, or even £15m. However, on Twitter, Clarkson chose to describe these maths as "seriously wrong" and the word is that it would be fairer to talk about a lower seven-figure number.
No wonder, then, the BBC is reluctant to spell out the exact deal it has struck to remove Clarkson from their Top Gear joint venture. But it is extraordinary how fast Top Gear has become such a lucrative, global property – in which a fortune has been handed to Clarkson even though the programme existed long before its most famous presenter arrived.
It was in 2008, to keep Clarkson on board, that corporation executives agreed to share with him 30% of a company designed to exploit Top Gear commercially. Fellow Repton school alumnus, and Top Gear's producer, Andy Wilman, got 20% – with the BBC putting in £100 to own the rest.
That will have seemed like a good idea at the time, saving the BBC from paying Clarkson perhaps another £1m a year in presenter's fees out of the BBC licence fee. Except, Top Gear turned out to be wildly lucrative, rapidly becoming one of the BBC's most successful brands, alongside Strictly and Doctor Who.
Top Gear spread globally with ease – last year Top Gears launched in China and South Korea, joining the likes of the USA (where it can be seen on the History Channel). The magazine is published in 31 countries. Even Top Gear Stunt School, a £1.99 iPhone, iPad app has been downloaded at least 2.4m times.
The accounts demonstrate how rapid progress was. Top Gear Ltd (actually the company is called Bedder 6, but it amounts to the same thing) generated a modest pre-tax profit of £2.9m in 2008/9 the first full year of trading under the new Clarkson-BBC joint venture. Just two years later, in the year to March 2011, the last full set of accounts available, profits had soared fivefold to £15.2m.
Kinda of reminds of George Lucas saying " I'll make Star Wars for a little payout but I want the rights to all the toys" OK sniggered the studios
