Top Gear's budget has been cut for 2009, so they've had to compromise on what they do. They're compromising in a very TG way though:

Ahahahaha, would be funny. Anyone remember the last time that happened a few years back when they claimed to make the episode for 50p?

The longest of long shots but in the Vietnam episode, Clarkson used a phrase "Let's not get bogged down with who did what to whom" in a Northern accent. I've heard that in a film or TV show...possibily Python...but it's driving(!) me mad trying to remember where. Anyone?

we’ll endeavour to make 13 of our 14 shows as per the usual Jerry Bruckheimer standard, and then the last one, when we only have a tenner left, will be utter, utter *****

Lol, that sounds interesting

 

[PinkFloyd]

Lol can't wait to this year's shows

Holy Grail, after Lancelot storms the castle after Concorde got hit by the arrow with Herbert's message attached, the father says in the main hall "Let's not bicker and argue about who killed who"

Clarkson also said it in a normal episode, after the old lady mannequin fell apart on the V8 rocking chair I believe

 

[BillHicksRIP]

Thank you sir!

I enjoyed the biking bit, good fun - especially Clarkson falling off because that was clearly not scripted.

What irked me:

1. The boating bit at the end - why are they so obsessed with making boats?
2. The train ride where they went to the 'wrong place' to 'cheat'.

episode 2 I have seen it!!

Yup

As I was watching it with my Mrs and a few mates I was saying how I'm sure I had seen him in Vietnam on a moped before, then yesterday up he pops in Motorworld on Dave, in Vietnam on a moped

The episode was excellent but they need to know that the wool can't be pulled over everyone's eyes

FYI Jeremy Clarkson is on Twitter - Actually, no he's not. It was a fake account.

Very good, but I can't believe some of them believe it. He's not exactly tech savvy, he's a Journalist that would not make the amount of horrendous grammatical mistakes, and the way he talks is just wrong - smilies? tiny url links?
