Why'd you watch it then? So you could slag it off later?
Yes.
Well that was 60 mins of your life well spent then.
Boing day is a different episode. This one will be available to download from finalgear.com by now for anyone that missed it.
Want something different ? well not really.

Why I hate Top Gear*...
*I don't by the way.
Regardless of the presenters, the narrative or the format. The camera work and imagery is stunning.
I tried this excuse on my wife, for watching blue movies. It didn't work then either.
and....
(Some very rude words included)

More like 70 actually as it was a longer than usual episode...
I watch and I enjoy. I like the occasional Dirty Doner Kebab; I don't pretend it's great cuisine though. TG could really do with some fresh ideas, bit like how it's nice to have a Chicken Shish sometimes for a change, you know?
I like Top Gear and I like Stewart Lee. How can this be happening?!?
a big finger to the greeny save the planet types. job well done
Up yours too!
😉
The drive by on Stig was brilliant, had me in a proper fit of the giggles, and of course he deserved it!
"Hammond's hair 8O"
That man is a middle aged tragedy.
😆
That stuart lee must be the least funny comedian ever.
My 8 year old chuckled a few times. Seems about the level for the humour, I reckon.
I really can't stand the programme, Clarkson is just not the comedian he (and many others seem to) thinks he is. Would love to punch him actually. Lots of times.
I went out on my bike with me dog in the snow instead.
[edit] and the OP? Do any Top Gear watchers really need the Radio Times listing description? Weird.
Thank you, Stewart Lee, thank you.
Proper chuckling at tonights episode, when they cut to Clarkson and Hammond in the Burkhas 😆
So not in the least bit offensive then??
No more offensive than if i wore a kilt..Oh, hang on, you may have a point
Did not expect that ending. Good times.
Ending was great
Expected the ending and houns, you ain't got the legs for a kilt fella 
Properly laughed at the ending.
houns, you ain't got the legs for a kilt fella
He's got the face for a burka though...
Clarkson is just not the comedian he (and many others seem to) thinks he is.
Quite possibly, and neither's Michael Macintyre, but he seems to be making something of a career out of it, which is inexplicable to me. I actually find May much funnier than most so-called comedians today, and Clarkson too, sometimes. Sure, Top Gear's contrived, but has anyone actually watched Fifth Gear lately? Dull, Duller, Dullest.
Loved The Stig in the manger, great touch.
thanks for bringing Stewart Lee into this. Saw that sketch live and summed up so much it was painful. No-one on a bike forum can defend Clarkson - an idiot for money.
Watched the episode but more of the same.
The camera work and imagery is stunning.
Too many Grad filters and too much vignetting - we get the point.
The cut scenes do tell the real story though, the juxtapostion with the voiceover can be very well done at times.
They should send Stewart Lee around after them apologising to people - would'nt make a dent in their budget.
No-one on a bike forum can defend Clarkson
I don't get this. Clarkson slags off everyone. He made a comment about a cyclist on fire, but does anyone take him seriously?
He is an opinionated buffoon, but that's why I like him.
There are plenty of other tv types who I like, it does not mean I agree with everything they say. The late Keith Floyd being a prime example.
Still disappearing up its own arse. Tired. I still watch unfortunately.
It was the crappest programme Top Gear ever produced last nite, it was sh!te and pointless, no humour at all. 🙄
Last night was watchable to fill a space, but I wouldn't call it comedy.
I picked up the Stewart Lee DVD linked by Hicksy. Very, very funny, thanks for the tip!
I got free tickets to see Stewart lee recording a special in a couple of weeks here...
Worth a pop if you can get to London.
WTF is PSA??
I've been wondering that too...
