Top Gear tried to be a serious motoring show once.
Got axed.
Clarkson fought to bring it back as the new format that has morphed into this, purely due to it being popular with viewers.
There’s a balance to be struck.
I don’t want to bring back William Woollard telling us how many Werther’s you can fit into a Marina glovebox.
Neither do I want a programme which revels in it’s ignorance, promotes hatred of other road users and celebrates only the crassest aspects of it’s chosen subject.
What would you prefer? Antiques Roadshow?
No.
I want a better motoring show.
I’ve mentioned this many times. 😐
Lets be honest here. Those slagging off Top Gear are just mourning the loss of the days when Sunday evening was the very pinnacle of weekly televisual entertainment. I too, long for those halcyon days.
It’s not been the same since they axed Pro Celebrity Golf and One Man And His Dog, has it? 😀
