Top Gear Season 22 & Xmas Special

Clearly I'm wrong and that was the most amazing scene of Top Gear ever.

I thought everything was sweet up until the mostly crap Pug bit, though I have to confess that the boardroom scene cracked me up. Other than that, yawn.
I'd never even heard of the SIARPC fella, but he was alright and he did well at least.

Can't believe anyone enjoyed the ambulance episode... That was dire.

Is this some kind of stealth bragging that you work for someone with a lot of money?

I suspect all cars there were for scrap, they also damaged the road furniture too... The rest of the show was enjoyable and I particularly liked the first bit of the pug feature going through their history.

Yeah. The MR2 already had battle scars, and the others I spotted easily (something boring and Korean, Laguna) is in plentiful sub-£1000 banger supply.

It's pointless destruction that negated any amusement factor it may have once had. It reeked of desperation.

Is it just because it was TG or are you that critical of anything that gets destroyed for entertainment? say the earths resources for you to even have the ability to type that comment :rolleyes:

I'm just playing

Having driven a 206 for a few years I think the boardroom sketch was a fairly accurate reconstruction. What god awful car nearly as bad as the Hyundai pony it replaced.

I really enjoyed the episode. Scripted and obviously so, as usual, but that's what TG is all about. If they took it too seriously it would lose the character that makes it what it is. The mindless destruction was entertaining too.

Anyone who says otherwise is clearly a DM reader.

Twas another crap attempt at humour, the start was fun and entertaining.

This thread makes it very easy to pick out the hurt Peugeot owners.

This made me chuckle

Enjoyed the feature on la Ferrari, what a beautiful car. Made a drink while that Olly guy was on, did not enjoy the Peugeot bit (no, I do not own a Peugeot and have never owned one). I just found the segment really poor, however, the fire that Clarkson started by pressing the heating button did make me laugh.

Sure, yeah, let us know how that goes, when you wake up....

How could anyone not find the Peugeot bit funny? I nearly died through laughter.

Exactly how I see Peugeot owners

Minstadave · 25 Feb 2015 at 09:48

Peugeot bit was one of the best bits of this season.

Did it make you feel you 'want to complain but don't think it's worth the effort as it's 'banter' and 'humour'.

In this week's programme, Richard Hammond is dropped into the remote, frozen wastes of Canada to test a watch with a built-in emergency beacon. The distress signal is sent directly to Jeremy Clarkson and James May, who get their hands on two machines and set off on an epic adventure to find their colleague. Plus, Jeremy puts the new 471bhp Lexus RC F coupe thought its paces, while The Fall and The X-Files star Gillian Anderson takes to the track in the Reasonably Priced Car

should be a good one tonight, saw a clip of this one some weeks ago

Think they mentioned it in that hour long preview show they did with the audience asking questions.

Glaucus · 1 Mar 2015 at 16:45

Sounds epic, and I quite like the star bit, when a) I know who they are & B) they do a good interview.
