Why on earth would they leave out Webber? That's one of the ones I'd actually want to watch.In the BBCA edits for S6, there were some eps where they left out SIARPC (6x02 (Jack Dee), 6x06 (David Dimbleby), Mark Webber in 6x10). And, from what I've been able to tell, in other series, SIARPC is cut fairly considerably; and the car reviews are mostly left alone (the only one I can think of that was dropped completely was James's review of the Renault Clio from 7x04 -- the one where he races the biker in Portugal). It's the news that gets cut out completely most of the time, along with anything irrelevant (TG survey results (7x01), Greatest Driving Song (all of S6)).
Plus, I don't think Wilman is responsible for our edits. It's BBC Worldwide, isn't it? Or maybe even BBCA themselves?
And it seems as though now, they are not there because they love cars or because Clarkson is friends with them and made them do it as a favour to him but rather because they have a new book or CD or movie coming out and their agent has booked them on Top Gear to promote it. Or their fucking publicist or some shit, I don't know how these things work.
Wait a minute actually, I watched it when Eric Bana was on, too because I know he's into cars... But I didn't think his interview was all that great.
I liked the bit where he called 3rd gear a "slut" because I haven't heard that word used in that sort of context in ages and I'm going to start using it again. I don't know how common that usage is elsewhere. I think maybe it's a Victorian thing. Anything that's being a pain in the ass and not cooperating with you is a slut, usually a fucking slut. Trying to get something big, heavy and awkward into the boot of your car? Simply yell "Come on, ya fuckin' slut!" at it and feel the frustration melt away.
