Loads of programmes try to script a style thats funny, Top Gear just got it dead on didn’t they and the presenters are good at carrying it off.
I must admit I can handle the crap attempts at humour but it mostly becomes crap just cos of the personalities trying to pull it off. To me that John Bentley’s voice is so irritating I don’t know how he got on the telly, I’d like to see someone put his head through one.
Oh, and what about Fifth Gear with that curly haired plonker wishing he was on Top Gear? He seems to have had one of those new fangled ‘likeability bypasses’.
(The viewing figures of these programmes only stay relatively high cos of the lack of them and nothing else being on terrestrial tv… it doesn’t seem that this ever crosses the programme makers minds… its like a small town chinese takeaway, it can be poor but still busy cos there’s no alternative… no-one on here is really just got good things to say about the gadget show have they? I used to watch it, now I can’t be bothered.)
