    This is excellent television, well worth a watch.
    I thought I'd share it. Very funny. British TV at its best.

    You needn't watch this, of course you needn't, but please do as it's very, very good.
    Part 1
    Part 2
    Part 3
    Part 4
    Part 5 (the best bit, but you need to have seen the rest 1st really)
    Part 6

    BTW - if you're not familiar with Top Gear, it's basically a men's car show. Extremely cynical, sarcastic and funny.

    Sorry, but I really really don't like Jeremy Clarkson, or Richard Hammond for that matter.

    British television gets much much better than Top Gear.

    Hilarious!

    Too many lame cheap shots at the US though, and I can't believe they wimped out with the rednecks!

    I love Clarkson, Harbs. He's a bit of a pompous arsehole, but he's entertaining.

    I don't see how you can dislike Richard Hammond! He's like a cuddly toy.

    'Man love rules OK' :lol:

    When they're thinking of the best way to cook that roadkill squirrel, and Clarkson drives down with a cow on his roof, then puts about 15 air fresheners in his car to hide the smell :lol: .

    That special was one of the best top gear episodes ever. Some time ago they also did an Arctic special which was great too.

    Haha, I really liked that, although I did get annoyed with every other sentence being, as BTA said, a lame cheap shot at the US. The stuff that was funniest was the stuff that they did not mention Americans in (cow, rednecks (<-- yes, it is a comment about Americans, but during the skit of them driving around with the slogans on, they weren't as brutal on the US as normal)).

    Haha, I can't believe she actually got 'the boys' down, that was great :lol:

    What's wrong with Hammond? Hammond and May are not supposed to be dislikeable, that's Clarkson's job (I think he's brilliant).

    Top Gear is without a doubt the best thing UK television ever did.
