Silly, silly, bordering on utterly stupid....

...yet absolutely brilliant, without resorting mentioning one of the presenters and Michael Parkinson's granddaughter in the same sentence...

Silly stuff as usual, but the lorry-bit went a bit out of control... Those guys are nuts, driving trough a brick wall... funny as ever though...

Anyone notice the really hot blonde girl just behind Clarkson during his interview with Sir Parkinson? MIAUUUW! Shocked

Quote:

Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson has prompted more than 500 people to complain to the BBC about a joke he made on Sunday's motoring show.

Clarkson, 48, was taking part in a lorry-driving task, when he joked about lorry drivers killing sex workers.

"Change gear, change gear, check mirror, murder a prostitute, change gear, change gear, murder. That's a lot of effort in a day," he said.

Political correctness getting silly again... The BBC must have their hands full with this and the Jonathan Ross stunt... Perhaps the presentors could be a bit less blunt about things, but in all fairness, every viewer og TG knows Jeremy's style... people should loosen up a bit... Wink

A lot of difference between JC's dry, cynical humour at the expense of a convicted murderer, and JR and RB's sick, not particularly funny at all, phone call aimed directly at a 78 year old man.

yeah but due to JR and RB a bandwagon is rolling, and you know what some of the eejits in the British public are like when it comes to jumping on bandwagons

That's what i was pointing out... I missed the whole deal about Jonathan Ross and the daft-looking guy who's name I can't remember, but I saw the effect it had during the BBC-news last week.

I'm still convinced Topgear will get more complaints about the burning of the Porsche GT2 laptime... Grin

I watched TG again tonight on my laptop and overall, I enjoyed the programme.

But I feel it would have been better if instead of wasting all that money (UK BBC Licence fee payers!) smashing up trucks it would have been more entertaining and factual if they all signed up for LGV training passing the theory hazzard perception test and then the LGV driving test itself.

And, they should have done some reversing! - Hill starts are easy in an empty rig, believe me! - All of them are used to all kinds of exotica yet they can't pull away on a hill? - Balls! - and this is where TG imo fails.

TG has so many good ideas, but executes them poorly imo.

Alas, as James May said on Mondays "Simon Mayo" show on BBC Radio 5, "Top Gear is an Entertainment show" I am undecided if its better or worse for it.

Top Gear does not really cost anything at all. It is only limited because of the perception caused by the "outrageous use of my license fee brigade". The show is sold to just about every country in the world. It probably brings in more money than the license fee ever could.
