Title: Start rejoicing - one week to new Top Gear
Post by: Goblin on April 29, 2006, 15:15:50 PM
You pack of nerds. I mean, get a life!!
 :shock:

^^ Sorry, bloody Co-Workers, leave a PC for two minutes...

Anyway, new Top Gear starts next Sunday, 7th May, complete with shiny new stuff (TM)

"Yes, its true, Top Gear will shortly be back on your telly. Huzzah.

But when the team reassembled to plan this, the eighth series, there was a problem. With an expectant world waiting, how could they keep the show fresh after seven storming series? New titles? A slicker studio? Take the presenters shopping and buy them all new smart-casual jackets?

Well, yes. But there had to be something else. And there was. An idea of such brilliance all other programmes will be copying it by the time the years out. At a stroke, the show has been refreshed, reinvented, reinvigorated, all by just one simple action. "


Yippee!!

I was never informed of this, I suspect Mrs Clocked has beguiled me into thinking it was on at a different time. In any case I can look forward to it!

My 1st thought was "Bitch"

But yes, It used to be repeated on Sundays and shown on Thursdays at 8:00 > 8:30 quite a long time ago. But for the last few seasons its been on Sunday at 8 with a repeat, normally going out on Thursday at 9.

For some reason series link wouldnt work for me. Not that Ill forget, its the only TV program I actually look forward to.

What was weird was that it took three days for anyone to reply, thought youd all gone off it or something :)

As Ive just discovered the star ratings thing on this forum I think Im gonna use em :)

So - 5 stars for this post mr goblin :)

It has everything... begins with an insult and ends with the reader knowing crucial info about the rebirth of Clarkson!

Even if it was simply being misinformed, theres always a struggle to watch something decent. Soaps are on 99% of the time but if something I want to watch comes on I have to practically beg :roll:

When I get my own place, first thing installed will be Sky+ or similar.

The dog (real btw, I saw it move and everything) is the shows hot new feature.

That was an excellent episode, a return to form after an iffy last series imo.

Especially laughed at Hamster in the pink Micra :lol:

Yes the pink C+C was a horrid looking car.

I just dont think that car is that great for a convertible, its not fierce enough imo

That was fun :D

Although they nearly did the Konigsegg in. Supposedly the company is going to fit a big rear spoiler and give them another go?  :o

Thats the Swedes for you:

"I see you have crashed our Ã,£400000 car. Sorry about that, let us fix it and give you another go."

So, does anyone know who "Well Spoken Man" was?
Title: Re:Start rejoicing - one week to new Top Gear
Post by: SteveF on May 08, 2006, 09:09:50 AM
Think it was James Hewitt wasnt it?  The guy allegedly porking Dianna... or I may have the wrong person...

Think he was on one of those survivor/jungle shows recently too.

I knew who it was but couldnt remember his name.

Its one of those shows where youd love to go along for a day and be a part of it, they must have unbelievable fun making it.
