I stayed awake for this at 8pm lol, missed it again (well half of it) will catch it on iplayer if i'm awake later.

New episode tonight

Season 18 Episode 3 of 7
Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond take charge of shooting a car chase for a remake of The Sweeney, assisting with the stunt-driving choreography and the direction of lead actors Ray Winstone and Plan B. James May takes the Vauxhall Corsa VXR Nurburgring for a run around the test track, and delivers his verdict on the updated Fiat Panda. Hollywood actor Ryan Reynolds is the Star in a Reasonably Priced Car

This series is a significant improvement IMO, usually I FFWD past star in a reasonably priced car, I haven't done so this series.

Ryan Reynolds or whatever his name is' comment about his flaw being 'I can't stop murdering children' was cutting unexpected and very funny

I actually laughed quite a lot through this episode, shame about the film stuff, as I found that pretty boring and predictable, the rest was good though!

I watched this a little earlier, despite enjoying the ep overall as I just said to knighty on MSN it seems they are turning Hammond into an idiotic and cringeworthy charicature that can't be taken seriously, moreso than any of the others playing up themselves.

What Clarkson did with the filming was quite good overall despite the stupid bit about disabling the traction control, but then as soon as Hammond started on his bit you knew it was just going to turn silly and be pointless; its too predictable. This kind of staged stuff is definitely the worst they do.
