The fact that they had Ronin jokes is strong evidence how well this episode tied into the petrolhead/anorak mindset. And they themselves had continuity errors in the challenge segment :lol:
Yeah - I spotted that too! The Volvo was suddenly whole again a day *after* it had crashed into the Merc and lost its left headlamp unit...
Maybe I'm just blind but when I skim through the episode it seems like the damage is pretty consistently there. What time in the episode does it appear undamaged after the accident?
Surprisingly good, and miles better than last year Top Gear.
I wish they would cut studio bits to minimum, so far these are the weakest parts of the show. Also, the black dude adds nothing (hopefully this isn't racist thing to say)
Overall a good show, and better than anything Grand Tour did, this first episode of Top Gear demonstrates how idiotically over produced, yet so badly written and delivered fail fest the Grand Tour was.
Will start watching Top Gear again, never thought that will happen
Just spotted it @ 33:24. Look at the Volvo's headlights. They suddenly seem to be intact.
I get what you mean - the Taxi dropping off its blocks and running away reminded me a bit too much of when Hammond used to go into "fake idiot" mode for the purposes of lame, scripted comedy.
Also, the black dude adds nothing (hopefully this isn't racist thing to say)
Good eye! That's definitely footage from before the accident.
