Oh no, same crap as series 9.
Oh no, same crap as series 9.
The set is a bit better (the hamster needs his own gay chair - or can you no longer say anything bad about the hamster and have to bully James) and Sony should give them their biggest screen for free so it doesn't look like some apple designer fake kitch look, the budget the bbc puts behind it quite admirable but probably because they make a ton of money from selling it as well. The news seemed better, apart from the lack of any real info on "normal" new cars, like how good is a mondeo nowadays?
Amazing ariel shots although there are loads of good roads in scotland, australia, california, canada, south west england, south africa, russia ...
Problem with the roads is that they didn't know them, not really attacking them were they, I bet some local in his diesel golf could have easily had them. Would have been good if they swapped and gave the aston some lead foot.
The thing that really disappoints me is that it seems it's going to be another 10 episodes of crap middle aged men living out their stupid fantasies. It makes me embarassed that one of my passports is english. TG (bbc) should have more responsibility, the country is turning into J.C. yobs. Quite different from some of his books and newspaper columns, do some journalism. All behind saying what you think but he often oversteps and isn't funny.
Fith Gear still easily is much better (if you are after a motoring show), much more current and fresh ... I don't think it should hark back to william wollard days quite, but I wish it were less blokeish and arrogant and cover more car things. 5th do some fun 'motoring' focussed things. e.g chip fat merc is better than building car boats and actually informative, green and useful to the world. And for gods sake, get rid of that crappy car on star in a car and let one of the others do some interviews...
The show should be renamed "Jeremys Big Ego".
But hey, I'm just the miniroty, why will it ever change, bbc you know you can do better why do you sell out.
I hope that later episodes improve.
