I'd say it was the crew tent.

Awesome ep, but DO NOT DOWNLOAD THE 350MB "Top.Gear.S08.E06.PROPER.PDTV.XViD-V3" - its rubbish.

Fantastic episode. I don't think I stopped laughing during the show.

F1-Toyota was rather pointless, but fun to find out that it only did 81 mph.
Caravaning-bit was fantastic! images/smilies/lol.gif

Clown · July 17th, 2006, 12:02 PM

Oh almost forgot, how good was the bus driver bit during the news.
First they utterly nail the bitching bus union guy's arse to the wall.
Then Mays, "have a joint" comment images/smilies/lol.gif

His Holiness · July 17th, 2006, 12:03 PM

Yeah, that was great too. I nearly choked because I laughed so hard images/smilies/lol.gif

kurtiejjj · July 17th, 2006, 12:05 PM

Absolutely brilliant episode! Hven't laughed so much since quite while! Only drawback was that stupid guest who was incredibly boring! Couldn't they have put some comedian in that car like that fat one, how is he called again, Oh yeah Jack Dee images/smilies/biggrin.gif

or some other fun person then it would've been the best episode ever! Despite everything was set-up a bit of course images/smilies/oops.gif

fbc · July 17th, 2006, 12:10 PM

Great, great episode, laughed my arse off at the caravan segment - particularly the second half - and during the news.

Memo to Opel / Vauxhall - power is not the answer...

Lordy I love this show images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Andy · July 17th, 2006, 12:12 PM

This was indeed a funny episode. Mays comment about driving buses was the most hilarious part of the news for me.

And it was obvious that the fire was a setup and that caravan James run over, then Hammond torched at the end was theirs. But as long as they succeded making an entertaining episode, this thinkgs really don't matter.

jona · July 17th, 2006, 12:12 PM

it was a nice eposide, laughed the whole time.

but i really do hope they don't go any further in scripting the whole thing... it's getting a little bit to obvious, just saying this because it was the first thing i had to think of when I stopped laughing...

awdrifter · July 17th, 2006, 12:13 PM

Good episode. But the fire is definitely a set up, the tent that got burned was purposely put there. There's no way the fire crew show up so quickly if it's not planned. But I don't care, this is much better than Fifth Gear, I enjoyed it. The Mondeo, MSP6 and Astra review was cool. But I thought the MSP6 has 280hp? Is the EUDM version different? And what engine does the Astra have? (Small block V8 ? images/smilies/tongue.gif

) I don't know how hard it is to drive the MSP6, but I drove my friend's MazdaSpeed Protege (USDM) before, the clutch is not much heavier than my Talon's clutch, the suspension is firm but not to harsh, so I don't think the MSP6 would be that much worse.

Being on the road to the campsite was the only non-staged part of the whole caravanning thing.

A rather dull episode. I hope topgear can find it's roots again, cause the last few episodes felt rushed and TOO staged. With every ep I watch, my interest in the series keeps getting smaller.

With the lcurrent season I wait till the episode ends and feel let down, whereas I didnt want the old ones to end at all.

The whole F1 thing, I mean come on.......... They better tie the knots and dot the i's for the next series..... This is a rushjob.

Actually in this country the Emergency Services aim to be there in 8 minutes so they could get there that quickly. It was obviously scripted though but it doesn't metter to me as long as its funny.

tone76 · July 17th, 2006, 12:42 PM

The caravan bit was the funniest thing I've ever seen on TG!! images/smilies/lol.gif

Even if the bit with the tent next door was staged (especially the end bit), it didn't detract from the rest of the segment. I doubt that Captain Slow deliberately crashed the caravan, for instance.

Mally Dangerous · July 17th, 2006, 12:45 PM

Anyone noticed at 24:43 the James looks like he's about to run that other car off the road?

Edit: Also just noticed that there is a dead bird on the road at 44:47. images/smilies/lol.gif

Made a profile shot of the cop, looks very similar, but I really think its a different one...

Peter3hg · July 17th, 2006, 12:57 PM

Definantly a different guy

yeah they are different guys

What makes you say that? They look absolutely 100% identical to me, even the spot where he's starting to go bald is the same.

It would be an incredibly big coincidence if they were different people. Two people looking the same is rare enough, but then both of them being police officers in the same town, and both being called to appear on the same TV show...

Why the same town?
Ones in London the others near Devon.
And they look totally different.
