I thought they'd had it in that petrol station.
I don't think they're going to put the Hamsters life at risk so soon.  And did you really think they eat barbequed squirrel and rotten cow.  Its all scripted.  Its Corrie with cars

nowt wrong with top gear in my opinion. In fact its 1 of only 2 shows i will religiously watc each week and am gutted if i miss. t'other being Prison Break.

TG though, very funny, this weeks was great, one of those trips you always fancy doing yourself, in fact it set me mind to thinking of this years LM trip what with me in the Humber (now working except for my dashboard lights!!), my mate in his old lancia, and another in a subaru svx he bought for £100. Don't think i will be writing man love messages on the humber though, but after a few days of Bleu dust our cars are usually adorned with a wide array of cocks so similar i guess.

It's only a bit of fun at the end of the day with a few added cars to look at. Who didn't watch used to watch non car programs just to see the cars / car chases however ridiculous they were ie The Sweeney, Starsky and Hutch even The Dukes of Hazzard just for a laugh???

On the current episode with them driving cars to New Orleans, didn't they call in at Sebring on route. I only saw the end credits, but it looked like Sebring to me. Going to try and catch the rerun either tonight or tomorrow. (Need to check the TV guide)

Hey Steve , as I said, I only saw a brief second or so during the end credits and saw a curb and a bridge in the back ground and since they were driving from Florida i put 2 and 2 together and came back with 5.

I realised I'd missed this but good old NTL (Virgin Media now) has an on-demand button for stuff you might have missed, and it was there. Very enjoyable.

But the Hugh Grant bit was mainly about cars, and I thought it was quite good.  Admitedly they had to promote his new film however that will attract women won't it, and women are important to Top Gear.  Hence the need to have a mixed party to get tickets to the show 
Have to admit a vested interest: my ticket came up and was at the filming for the Hugh Grant/Veyron episode (which also included filming the top/tail for the USA one as well as Simon Pegg for tomorrow night). Yes it is scripted, yes the recording is part of the performance, yes it can be seen as a JC fan club event. I have to say I admire his balls for a contract that means he lights up on stage between scenes. And while the mixed group thing is a big deal up front, on the day there is no enforcement. Was at the filming with daughter #1 (who could touch Hugh Grant's L shoulder) and whose pic with the Hamster got her a few rounds in the uni pub. The overall interview with Hugh Grant was much longer and in general bloody funny - a perfect example (IMHO) of men behaving badly. Simon Pegg was far less impressive in real life - I am sure the edited version will hide the ums and ahs but will probably not be much longer than the clip they have from hot fuzz.

I thought the safety video with the train was lame: while it may crop up later I figure it needs the voice-over re-done.
