sweetleftpeg 0 Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 I'm going to go against all my principles and agree with Sima, it is the best thing on the beeb at the minute. I don't even like cars that much, I own a VW golf ffs, but I find it good entertainment. Come on the hamster, pull through kidda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Li3nZ 1 Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 (edited) Hope he gets well soon. I disagree about the current show being "better" than the old one though, with Tiff, Quentin, and the other guy who had an accident on his motorbike. They're totally different shows. The current one is much more high budget and will appeal to the greater "vegetable" like TV audience rather than the car enthusiast. Top Gear of old, my personal favourite, was much more focussed on the actual "review" of a car, and the car itself. The current show, still good, is more aimed at general "entertainment" and is largely based around a staged event / fictional event that runs staggered throughout the show. It's almost like comparing the Top Gear magazine to Max Power... :S Edited September 21, 2006 by Li3nZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the beeb is interested in maximising viewing figures than appealing to a specific niche. I prefer the newer version, but then again I'm not that into cars.
