I am seriously considering writing to the BBC to congratulate them on the best use of my license fee ever.

Top Gear is the only reason I ever consider getting a TV

It is almost worth the Ã,£100+ a year on its own

almost

They so need to have another stab at that one becuase I think they could do it now, all the way through I was thinking it would blow up at the start or they would use camera trickery of some sort, could not believe it actually took off and I now think one more go and they could do it.

Why coudlnt you believe it took off?  I knew it was going to take off, I just had doubts about the rest of the plan.

Proffesionals who deal with thrust and all that were behind it, which is exactly why they probably wont try it again.  Probably blew half their series budget on it.  :lol:

Thing with TG is sometimes its hard to tell how staged it is; having the fuel tank not seperate might have been the best way of making sure it came straight back down with the bonus of a big explodion on impact.

- They didnt show how the wing flaps were controlled and all you can see is 4 brass hinges on each side.
