Clarkson: What are the best things about Top Gear?

[BryanF]

Hi all,

I'm a new watcher of Top Gear.

Could you tell me what you think the best things about it are? Is it the celebrity guests? The challenges? The presenters?

Send me some bullet points.

Thanks!

The banter
Cheap car challenges whether local or cross countries.
The News
The amazing cinematography with new cars

That's about it for me

 

[BryanF]

Good stuff! Do you have any other car shows that you would recommend?

 

[MWF]

Assuming you are a genuine hooman and not a bot then I would suggest catching Roadkill on YouTube, particularly the earlier episodes. It has a raw and slightly amateur, naive charm that is reminiscent of Top Gear from the early 2000s and is eminently watchable.

Start here:

Season 4-8 are definitive highlights.

8 - 9 are the weak ones for me. 1 is almost impossible to watch while 2 got better since the fat guy left. As odd as James can be, he works and I can't put my finger on why that is.

If I had to choose right now.

2-7, 10-13, 17, 20-22.

As odd as James can be, he works and I can't put my finger on why that is.

His oddity is charming for most; and when he does things, he does things right.

I think the best part of it is challenge.
