Aired at 8PM apparently.
Now I'm thinking that the sabotaging is taking the piss. It's scripting going too far when James' artwork "fell" over and Jeremy ditching the art car. Too much.
clarkson has spoke about the crash and it's real. He was talking about the police breathalyzing him a couple of weeks ago.

Well, the Simpsons have gone downhill since Groening passed on the rudder to others. I love the Simpsons to bits, always did. But the later episodes are just painful to watch. It usually gets unbearable for me after a couple of minutes, so I switch channels. But when they get on the older ones for a change, I can't get enough even if I've seen them 10 times already.Oh and this board is getting close to turning into simpsons fans - i.e. hating every new episode. Me and my mates, all car lovers (cos we're fucking automotive engineers in training), love it.

Sorry for OT, back to Top Gear...
We need a thread on this, I'd love to discuss the Simpsons!I never said the latest simpsons episodes weren't dross (but as a little matter aside, groening has done fuck all behind the scenes compared to the people that have actually do the work, it's just that they have a shit staff these days - I can go on and on about this actually )
That's not really it. Yes, Top Gear has changed. And according to my sister who hates car shows with a passion but loves to watch (bits of) Top Gear, it should be getting better for her now. Yet, she also recognized that TG isn't made with the same amount of "love" they used to make it with. Of course there are good and bad episodes in every series, but this is not the simple "bad". This is a different "bad". Not the "we didn't know better-bad" or "we couldn't do better-bad". This is "we don't really care anymore-bad".However Top Gear has changed, but public perception and fans perception is very different. People are loving top gear from what I can see, yet the people on this board seem to be determined say that it's getting shit. Some of the best stuff has come from the last year or so, and some of the older shows are shit.
Take series 4, there's a few episodes in there that are fucking awful (the cadillac escalade and the fab 1 episode is one of them) yet that also has the best episode in my mind - the first 1, with the first race, a good top gear review (the shittyrover) and some stupid stunt with the lotus elise.
so, in summary: Top Gear- Peaks and Troughs, deal with it

And naturally, the diehard fans will be the first bunch to complain, since they will be the ones with the most pain when they feel their favourite show goes downhill. Since the diehard fans are to be found here, you will read a lot of bad press on FinalGear.
