beleive it or not this sundays episode is the last of the current series, which is crap imo.
Not that its been that good this time, but Id still like to see more than 6 of them.
It needs a kick up the arse and they need to get fingers back on the pulse quickly. To echo the comments above, regardless of how good this final episode is this series has been somewhat underwhelming to say the least.
If I worked for the BBC, which unfortunately for them I dont
I would be getting heads together to think of where to take it next, firstly they need a format change, 6 shows on the spin isnt working, the car industry is moving too quickly and the current filming window for news and relevant features is far too small to provide any kind of indepth insight as to whats currently out there, or, to present an article or piece thats relevant to current times or whats on the horizon. The show currently is reporting on things that anyone with a casual interest in cars has already at least heard of, or have read about in depth on the internet for example.
If the current presenters cant get on board for a little and often approach (filming two sets of three, or three sets of two in the year) sack them off for someone who can, 6 shows in a row that runs out of steam and ideas or a punchy fresh couple 3 times a year? I know which one I would plump for.
Top Gear isnt solely an entertainment show, part of the entertainment is to find out exclusives and feautures on things that are brand brand new, which unfortunately they seem to be doing less and less of.
