Boing, new series in 10 mins.

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.

Great episode, a good return to form I reckon. I do love that Aventador

New episode tonight

QuoteSeason 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!

It was the worst of the series so far but they had set the bar high so far, I still enjoyed it though and had plenty of laugh out loud moments.

Yeah the film bit was a low-point for sure 

Had it turned on but it didn't grab me at all so wasted the hour browsing ebay.

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.

"we're currently due to return to BBC Two at 8pm on January 27! And guess what? You're getting the long-awaited Christmas Special thrown into this series, too, which is inexplicably scheduled for transmission in, erm, early 2013..."

  Well, even if there is still more silliness its still one of the better things that will be on TV to watch. Roll on the Christmas special!

Anyone know why the Xmas special was not shown at Xmas?
Did they push it back because of the Bond Special they also did?
