Just watched it on iPlayer, and I found it OK, funny in places, but lacking in so many others. GTR review and Stig lap was par for the course, an impressive machine given a fair appraisal. The news was funny as always, and a valuable element of the show allowing the chemistry between the three to flow. The old cars article was dull and predictable IMHO, nicking elements from many previous 'challenges'. SIARPC was surprisingly entertaining, considering the tiredness of this part of the show. The guests can make or break it, and todays were a little above average, surprisingly. The fox hunting was very silly, occasionally amusing but mostly just a waste of time. The dubbed V8 soundtrack was crap. I stand by what I said last week regarding the format, we need 3-way group tests of real-world cars on most weeks, a bit of exotica, some dicking about and some fresh ideas to replace SIARPC, TGSM and the Cool Wall. 6/10, but still the best thing on telly, at least for 6 measly weeks.
