Champagne, Cocaine and hookers?.....…
Whiskers on kittens and soft woollen mittens, brown paper packages tied up with string, these are a few of my favourite things...

the "specials" where the whole show is them on a mission in some foreign country tend to get watched here, but there's no effort made in recording or putting time aside to watch the rest of the series anymore.

Have all those who dislike TG not got an OFF button on their telly? I don't like Coronation Street so I don't watch it, most here will know every single episode by heart and proceed to whinge about how poor it is.
BTW A couple of years ago I went to the Berkshire County Show where, amongst the cows, horses and wellies, there was a guy showing off his KTM car. Expensive, impractical, moronic. Everybody loved it, especially those who were given a ride. Enjoyable doesn't need to mean proper.Posted 1 year ago # -

I find the way they mess about more annoying now for some reason. I think it's because they used to come across as actually trying to do stuff, but making a bit of a mess of it, whereas now they just seem to play at overgrown schoolboys who know they are gonna mess things up so stand about tittering at each other and exclaiming 'oh look, you just set that alight' or 'James you idiot, you just crashed into that car' - aren't we useless?Yes, exactly!

Top Gear is the BBC's most profitable TV programme
Not sure that's true, I seem to remember reading it was one of the wildlife docs - Planet Earth, Blue Planet?. They get licensed by BBC Worldwide to pretty much every country that broadcasts or has a VOD service. BBC sell the TG format to a number of countries, Australia etc and probably make a decent wedge from the merchandise eg: Stig bubble bath FFS! TG also cost's a lot to produce and of course it needs to pay for Jeremy's Car and prog rock collection.
Happy to be proved wrong though.
Has TG run it's course? Of course it has, but so as Corrie, Eastenders, Ant & Dec, X Factor, Strictly the list is endless, but there's so much choice luckily I don't watch any of them. Thank god for BBC Four.
