Long time lurker, one or two time poster (a long time ago) hence re-register-er.
Great episode. All the best moments have been said already however some of the negativity is getting to me.
The "it's scripted" whinging.
No shit Sherlock. The BBC are just going to go head first into the Middle East no planning or anything, and expect that everything's going to go 'swimmingly.' No chance at all that JC, Hammond and May knew that they were going to land in Iraq or the route they were going to take.
Let's point this out again for the umpteenth time, Top Gear is not a reality show - it's an entertainment program*.
And no, when James had his accident they may not have been far from a road. And? Your point is? Their's was to sneak across the desert. It looked pretty deserty to me even if the roads weren't far off. Was all that blood staged as well?
I've been watching Top Gear since the Tony Mason/ Tiff/ JC days and I've learned that any car program that involves Jeremy Clarkson - you don't take it seriously. He is, in the words of Mr May, "A big giant cock." But, a funny one.
*Lets be honest, the reality of car driving is neither funny nor interesting. We don't all have access to really nice cars, tracks, helicopters, exotic locations and so on. It took me 30 mins to de-ice my car the other day and that's just dull, cold and irritating. Ocasionally you'll see a nice car on the road that'll remind you of why you like cars (for me, a Dodge Ram SRT-10 a couple of days in a car park - Wouldn't want one but it sounded fanfeckingtastic), so let's all bring out the Xmas cheer and be thankful for Top Gear which reminds us of why we think cars are special in the first place.
I would have that Barchetta any day. Always liked them.
And the reason some of you aren't liking Top Gear = Jealousy. You want their job and you know it.
Sorry if this is a repeat post - got confuzzled about the admin and new-poster schtik
