Back on 26th June, BBC2, 8PM.

Thanks for that, can you post a reminder again in this thread around the 23rd?

Despite the fact that I find them repetitive and a bit too dumbed down, I'm glad to see it back, looking forward to it.

MOTORING: Top Gear
On: BBC 2 West (102)
Date: Sunday 26th June 2011 (starting in 8 days)
Time: 20:00 to 21:00 (1 hour long)

Motoring show. Jeremy Clarkson celebrates the 50th birthday of the Jaguar E-type by driving a modern, half a million pound interpretation of this classic sports car before putting on a typically low key birthday party involving live music, classic fighter planes and a group of Royal Marines. Meanwhile, Richard Hammond is in South Africa to test a bigger, even more rugged alternative to the famous Hummer, while James May meets up with gold medal winning British Olympian Amy Williams for a wintry test of the latest Mini rally car. Plus, the power crazed BMW 1-series M is on the test track and another top celebrity guest takes their place in the Reasonably Priced Car.
(New, Stereo, Widescreen, Subtitles, 12, 4 Star)

Sounds good to me, anyone know if theres going to be another special this series?

I really do wish they would drop the star in the reasonably priced car bit, rarely is the person even remotely interesting, could easily fit another decent car review/video in there.

Apparently so.

Well the first episode certainly showed promise but it turned out to be rubbish yet again - its just SO scripted. They've definately got a script.

I'm definately never watching it again, its SO childish and beneath me.

Maccapacca · 18 Jun 2011 at 21:02

Did they miss a trick by not pulling it forward to Fathers Day, every Dad with no excuse not to watch it?

I honestly have no idea how people can watch it.

Scripted FTL...

Totally agree. Scripted entertainment is just completely fail.

The other day I was watching BBC News, that was so totally scripted as well. You could tell he had a script. It ruined it. And that new Harry Potter movie? Even worse. It's just blatantly scripted.
