MOTORING: Top Gear
On: BBC 2 London (2)
Date: Sunday 27th January 2013 (starting in 1 hour and 50 minutes)
Time: 20:00 to 21:00 (1 hour long)
Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May return for a brand new series. In this first episode, Jeremy attempts to build a car that's even smaller than the famous Peel P50. He then tests it out on the streets of London before putting his concept to the ultimate test of credibility in the fearsome Dragons' Den. Meanwhile, James is testing the latest Bentley Continental GT Speed by taking it on a rally stage. Plus Richard is at the test track to unleash the sensational new Pagani Huayra hypercar before handing it over to The Stig for the lap of its lifetime. Homeland star Damian Lewis is the star in the Reasonably Priced Car.

I've already taken control of the remote in anticipation. 😀
Excellent...
BBC2 all night from 6.30pm actually:
6.30 - 7.30 Orbit with Humble & Czerski (sounds like a Law firm!)
7.30 - 8.00 Open all hrs - Pilot episode
8.00 - 9.00 Top Gear - The boyz are back!
9.00 - 10.00 Coxy wonders again (caution, might cause brain fade due to Billions and Billions and Billions of things!)
10.00 - 10.00 Racing Legends Colin McRae - Chris Hoy swaps to 4 wheels!
Finally, a proper Sunday Eve line up !!!! 😉
I'll be watching.
Also, on BBC2 at 10pm, Racing Legends, Sir Chris Hoy reflecting on Colin McRae's rallying career.
Sky + set for the night 😀
Off out in a few minutes but Sky+ set here too for the return of Top Gear. 🙂
Just off on bike!... hope to be ome in time!
am i the only one to find that czerski rather fit?was pondering this cos me mate don't like her ❓

ARRRRR!!!
Czerski is i think really rather nice, not necessarily a natural beauty, but she'd deffinately got something about her! (crackin pins too 😉
thank god for that max!!!
thought ad gon weird 😆

Thanks for mentioning that mate, I would have missed it. 😀
Orbit with Humble & Czersk
Mmmmmmmmmm. 😀

Do what? A clever bird who's exceedingly easy on the eye? What's not to like?
Unless he feels threatened by clever girls, of course...

Helen Czerski
Job Title: Post-doctoral researcher in shock and impact physics
Organisation: Cavendish Laboratory, University of Cambridge
Years in current position: 4 years while I finished my PhD and 9 months since then
Qualifications: MSci in Natural Sciences (Physics) from Churchill College, Cambridge University. PhD in shock and explosives physics, University of Cambridge
I'm a physicist specialising in what materials do when they are hit at very high speeds (up to about 2000 mph). Most of my work is experimental, but I need to understand the mathematical theories behind what I'm doing so that I can design good experiments to find out what is going on.
My job is never boring because I'm always solving puzzles .... how I can build an experiment to measure a specific quantity, how I can construct a theory that might describe what is going on, and lots more besides. The best bit is definitely the variety and the fact that I don't have to spend entire days stuck at my desk. When I get restless, I get up and go and do a practical experiment.
I've always liked playing with numbers in my head and I like the mathematical bits of physics. Maths is such a powerful way of describing how things are - you can really look at an equation and visualise very clearly what it means in physical terms in your head. It communicates what is happening very quickly and very elegantly. The parallels between the maths in different areas of research are fascinating as well - you can really see the similarities between things that might seem entirely different on the surface.
The other fun thing about my job is communicating with other people, sometimes to discuss a theory with them and to bounce ideas off them, and sometimes to present my results to a wider scientific audience. It's really exciting when two people put their heads together and produce a combination of ideas - it's like playing tennis. One person has an idea and the other bounces it back with something added to it. It's a really nice way of solving problems.
I see the world as full of physics toys that I can play with if I know a little bit about them to start with. To do my job you need a lot of curiosity and a mind that is open to new ideas... but that's easy because there are so many good things to ask questions about!
Yeah, I can see how some blokes might have a problem with someone like that...
ha a think you've hit the nail on the head there count 😉
It's not very good, is it?
Can we mention the talent over jezzas shoulder..
Winter tyres - you'll maybe need them for half a day - according to Top Gear. 😉
bentley rallying 😯
That Pagani was gopping inside, truly hideous.
I want that Bentley.
Thats all. 😀
Bently WRX, what can possibly go wrong? 😯
Wysiwyg. Yes i think we aught to really.
i want to be driven down that course in it by chris meekes
i will poop
😳
Who's this guest? What's Homeland?
Which road was the Bentley driven down before the rally bit, thought I recognised it as one Ive driven when heading to a (small) trail centre
Holy crap! That was astonishing! Unbelievable.
What's Homeland?
It's a TV Show. Mr Lewis plays one of the main characters, [url= http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicholas_Brody ]Nicholas Brody[/url]
Yep, I want that Bentley. What a car! 😯
And I guess you could get a Audi with the same bits/engine for £90k...'twas cool though
Brilliant - P45. 😀
Damian Lewis - what a drive! Chapeau for even attempting that. 😀

Not any more, you can't. The RS6 Avante has the V8 engine from the Bentley, they've dropped the Lamborghini engined version.
P45?!?
Clarksons such a dick! bloody funny though.

Yer not wrong! 😀
A dick he may be, but he's a, what, 50 something year old bloke who earns a fortune for pissing about to his hearts content, which I don't think I'd say no to.
best job in the world
Loving it, chuckling away at this
I am mildly amused at the program, my 11 year old however is howling with the laughter at the P45 which is making me laugh a lot. 😀
best job in the world
He definitely has one of them and do you think he cares what anyones opinion is of him is? Does he bugger. Great show tonight, great cars and great entertainment.
The only Audi you can get with an W12 engine, I think is a Q7.
Twas okay, but the P45 was a bit drawn out. Looking forward to the road trip.
think the w12 engine originally came out of the vw phaeton.not sure if thats still made
was enjoying it up to the P45. That was just too drawn out.
