Top Gear

Scarffo · 07-11-2009, 12:20 PM

The search function's disabled so don't blame me for making a duplicate thread. I know there's one out there, but I'm not searching through pages and pages for it.

So anyways, Top Gear comes back next Sunday. Sunday 15th November, and it's going to be on at 9PM instead of 8.

Anyway, for God’s sake tell all your mates about the new temporary arrangements, and then we must also address the issue of the kids.

Basically, we know children get much pleasure from watching three grown men being thick, but we also know it’s school on Monday and 9pm might be a bit late for the younger ones, so – and I speak as a parent myself here – mums and dads, for God’s sake let them stay up.

What’s a bit of grouchiness at breakfast between families? And OK your kids might grow up a bit thicker because they slept through the first lesson, but hey, at least they’ll know the horsepower of an Aston Martin DBS, even if they never end up successful enough to buy one on account of staying up to watch Top Gear.

And teachers, if you’re reading this, have a heart after you’ve checked my grammar. Do you really have to do brainy stuff like chemistry first thing on Monday? Why not teach the kids how to sleep on their desktops, or better still have a quiz about BBC motoring programmes?

After all, a typical episode of Top Gear contains maths, geography, physics, politics and if James is doing a film, maybe even some Latin.

So there we are, our future is in your hands, parents and teachers. And kids, if none of this working, just put all the clocks back an hour in the house.

Series 14: it's, er, late

So we know James is going to be driving some overpowered limos and playing Top Trumps with The Stig.

Who's excited?

I'm excited to be on the Telly again

Simlish3 · 07-11-2009, 01:15 PM

I don't think the Stig is 15 years old lalalala

Bourbons3 · 07-11-2009, 01:36 PM

I haven't watched Top Gear on a regular basis since Richard Hammond's accident. They got a much larger audience, and it just wasn't as good after that.

I've never seen any difference to be honest.

Some say that he is.

Anyway I am really excited. Always loved Top Gear. Brought some fun and laughter into a factual (or lack of sometimes) program.

Simlish3 · 07-11-2009, 02:11 PM

I've found I often laugh so much, I start crying! Haha! Bad aye!

Froggy22 · 07-11-2009, 04:36 PM

den525player · 07-11-2009, 05:12 PM

Scarffo · 07-11-2009, 05:32 PM

Looking forward to the new series, never in all the years I have been watching the show have I seen a poor episode.

I wanna see some more races/challenges this series though, that african safari challenge was epic.

Yeah i love the ones where they race eachother across countries. The Vietnam one was funny. Also the Italy/France when Jeremy Clarkson was in that AMAZING car. Can't remember what it was though.

Can't wait. The Italian job in Belfast
