I think the episode was a bit dull overall. My favorite bit was the roadworks. The Aston v Jag was a bit unusual and I wasnt too keen on the music. Far from Clarksons best reviews. 5/10
No news - sad. Thats one of the best bits of the show.
They should have made an own 30min show just about the crash, and made the first episode in a more classic, well-known, top gear-style.

My thoughts.

That XKR looks like a ford taurus from the front and those guiles on the side make it look cheap, the previous one was way better looking. And admitting it's put together with cheap materials by a struggling company then saying it's better than anything from BMW or Mercedes is classic Jeremy rationalizing his way into a conclusion which puts British cars in a class of their own.

And devoting 21 minutes to road word is completely un-Top Gear but it's good to see Hammond back.

anyone notice the bumper sticker in the vampire?

Well, apparently Hamster's angels can top 314mph with eaaaaase.

I like the making road part. They should record more Jeremy dancing. images/smilies/smile.gif

the.stig · January 31st, 2007, 02:24 AM

Overall, it was a pretty good episode. I liked the roadwork, and Jeremy with his megaphone. The crash footage left me amazed at how lucky Richard really was, and how quickly it all happened. I didn't notice the sticker, as Blythy said, but I'll check it out.

Look a few quotes up...I sure did. They looked brilliant. Gorgeous car. Just might be the best grill in the business. images/smilies/mrgreen.gif

No love for the Usuall Suspects? images/smilies/smile.gif

I loved the music choices... I think this will be a great season.

Epp wasnt the best, nothing stood out, the odd laugh, but nothing like the amphibious vehicles of old images/smilies/smile.gif

oh well, much better stuff to come from the previews.

awdrifter · January 31st, 2007, 09:28 AM

Reading some of the comments, I think some of you have too high of standard for TG. This ep did not suck. It's good, although I agree it's not great. The Jag segment was great. And as someone mentioned, they probably cut out the news and cool wall for the crash segment, so it seems like the road work segment took up the whole show.

cookie720 · January 31st, 2007, 10:02 AM

I loved the episode, after that long a wait, anything is exciting, even if it were shit.....i would have still loved it.

Eau de Jambanne · January 31st, 2007, 12:42 PM

This ep's got a lot of LOL moments, especially the roadwork segment. Very little on road testing for sure.

AudiRS2 · January 31st, 2007, 01:36 PM

I missed the "News" in the latest Episode of Top Gear. Does anybody of you know why they left it out?
Kind regards!

They probably temporarily replaced the news section with Hammond's crash, something that probably won't happen again.

Welcome to the forum.

AudiRS2 · January 31st, 2007, 04:09 PM

Thanks.

That's what I thought too. Probably there was just not enough time for the news. I really hope they return, because they were always very informative.
Thanks for the answer.
Kind regards.

Atmikes · January 31st, 2007, 07:49 PM

There are plenty of shows for people who want a laugh but not so many shows for petrolheads. And only one 'petrolhead' show has every really been worth watching...

Watched the episode last night. Great episode.

Did anyone else notice... I think Jamie Oliver did a power slide on Gambon corner... on purpose! images/smilies/blink.gif

He was trying to tell Jeremy "look at this part".
