    Will watch to see if it isn't as scripted. Article from Andy Willman in the Sunday times seemed to imply it was less so but guess we'll see...

    Re: Top Gear starts tonight.

    latest specials have been rather stale tbh, but even so its better TV than just about anything else produced in the UK atm, sadly that says more about British TV these days than about Top Gear.


    Still a cracking watch tho

    I reckon Ford would get an identical car out to Top Gear within a few hours if the same had happened to one of their cars. Probably pay them to keep shtum as well.
