Default Sunday Times TV Review - Pure TV, as brilliance

Jezza's mate AA Gill had a few kind words to say about Top Gear in his weekly TV column:

Quote:
Forget the cars, ignore the garage banter, put aside the high-octane leaded geek oil. In fact, pretend the content never happened. Just look at Top Gear as art.

Nice article. I think AA Gill is underrated by the Times by the work he does. And AA and JC are classic on Grumpy Old Men, i think the funniest people on that show bar one person whose name i cant remember...

They are also really good mates, but that said I believe Gill has the integrity not to write good things about TG simply because he and Jezza are friends.

There's nothing - nothing - else on TV at the moment that's remotely close to the production values of Top Gear - it's great seeing that acknowledged. The frightening amount of work put in by Andy & the team deserves recognition.
