Anyone else not giving a crap about the self pitying end of the Special?
You brought it on yourselves, you tits.
Entertain, barely, educate or inform? Nuh.
*awaits thread deletion as only 1 Top Gear thread ever is now allowed*
You gave so little of a crap you started a thread about it. 🙂
Not a fan then.?
[quote=singlespeedstu ]You gave so little of a crap you [s]started a thread about[/s] watched it.
I got around 15 minutes into it last night and gave up because it was shit.
Did he actualy watch all of it though.
Or did he just want to flex his Big Shitter Muscle.
Did you sit through the whole thing just to complain? Plenty other channels.
Just talking about it. Clarskon is an arse but the response from the veterans was unwarranted. Having said that, I read a book by an ex para who met up with Argentinian vets in Argentina. They treated him well as a fellow soldier and explain how they'd been abandoned by the government when the military dictatorship fell.
Stupid thing for Clarkson to do given heightened tensions.
Stopped watching years ago, well past it's sell by date imo.
Either that or just too old to understand the reason why so much money is being wasted on dross like that 😐
I thought it was pretty good. It wasn't earth shattering by any means but followed the top gear formula.

ERM, I pay for it...it caused a bit of a media storm at the time, I thought there might be a bit if intelligent/reasoned comment here...
...but is that the best you haters can do?
Last bit was the most interesting bit. Although it's not sport to see anyone get hurt, there is little bit in me that thought it was interesting to see the tables turn for a change.
And although in this case it's debatable whether they were actually winding anyone up for a change , it does feel like the classroom joker could learn a thing or two from this experience.
Take it I missed part 2 then.
i hate cars and car stuff almost as much as i hate football.
so no, i missed it...... 😀

Cause and effect, cause and effect.
It was a physical manifestation of people on the internet being offended or the Top gear team are idiots.
Probably a mixture of both.
I got bored and switched to auto gyro and historical government propaganda videos on youtube.
When was part 2 on?
90 minutes ago
Got to see how big their film crew really is. I enjoyed it.
Haters??? lolz dude like whatz your age again 😆

To old to understand it makes the BBC more money than any other program.
That "wasted" money earns the BBC multiple times what it costs to make.
Doesn't matter if you like it or not, at least you can rest assured that they are arsing about and having fun, so that the BBC can afford to pay to make programs that whiney whingers on the internet might like 🙂
thinking about it, i hate clarkson more than i hate cars and football.
ERM, I pay for it...
I suspect that Top Gear makes the BBC money as so many other channels buy it, so technically [u]WE[/u] only pay in the short term!
I wonder what would have happened if an Argentinian film crew had staged a similar stunt ending up in Portsmouth? I reckon it's a good thing that the vets didn't actually catch up with the crew until the very end of the road.
BTW I was going out with an Argentinian girl in London during the Falklands conflict; she was a lot of fun and against her expectations she was treated with the greatest kindness by everybody here.
2nd part was better than the first, except the apparent outback welding of the mustang steering arm.
the nerve of those Argies eh?
who'd have thought they would get so stropy about a game of footy.
It made me want to go to Patagonia. Stunningly beautiful part of the world (I knew that before the program but it was still good to see).
I watched it, pretty lame by all accounts, great scenery though.

It does well and is a good earner for the corporation but top dog is Dr Who
Like a broken record Al... 🙄

Notice how clean his hands were when he did his piece to camera? 🙄
I'd go to Patagonia.
But it's harder there.
but top dog is Dr Who
Is he the new big hitter? Has BigAl be deposed? 😐
Well I only saw the last 30 mins of part 2 so I don't know what sparked off the trouble (don't say the war).
How does a TV programme create so much angst on here? People will be claiming that The Apprentice is about business next!!!

My God man - are you telling me they now edit the video they shoot? FFS, now it's just not believable anymore.....

Probably because one the presenters would quite happily mow down every cyclist on this site in his car if he thought he would get away with it.
Oh, I see. Must be a really nasty bloke. 😉
thm, have you been away for a few days? Having a rest for Christmas was it?
Muchos enjoyos, I was eating supper and it was a great accompaniment 😆
Do you know what's annoyingly predictable about Top Gear?
The 'Top Gear is crap' thread that [i]always[/i] has to follow every single episode on here.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. I'm not a fan of Songs of Praise. I resolve this issue by not watching it and find that prevents me getting, in any way at all, wound up by it.
these Top Gear specials always make me want to drive for a long time, with my wife as my only passenger, and visit somewhere nice.
i think i hate clarkson even more than i hate micheal macintyre..............and that is like loads and loads
someone always has to mention Songs of Praise....
On cue!!!
A marketing man's dream!
