Can't have been very exciting

I fell asleep half way through

[Andy]

Wasn't really exciting last nights show. Hammond reviewing a Pagani that really was quite ugly, amazing engineering but still ugly. James May getting driven round in a Bentley on a Rally stage. Quite amazed Bentley let them have the car for that. Then Clarkson doing something, well, stupid!

A few laughs but nothing amazing. The highlight reel for the series shows they're going to do a Top Gear race with the new Shelby Mustang, and they'll be reviewing that new Viper thing!

Found The Wonders of Life more interesting, think its a sign of growing old...

[Cunning Plan]

I thought the second-half was great!

Actually laughed a lot with the P45 clip, just sillyness.  

The bit in the Dragon's Den was fun too!

Jeremy has asked if children can work in factories...

Jeremy, it's shit.

Theo Paphitis thinks Jeremy's idea needs work.

The Bentley on the Rally Cross stage was pretty impressive, BUT I thought the camera angles were disappointing for a show usually renowned for the camera work quality. There was too much of May's face and not enough of the actual track / driving to give you the idea of speed and proportions.

Totally agree with this, I did *sigh* a bit when I realised the first clip was going to be about a super-car hammering around the track. Great engineering, but a bit boring now.

Stayed awake long enough to see that, yes the outside isn't brilliant for a Supercar, but the inside is amazing, pity the camera work didn't really show that

Re, P45 ?  All it was, was a very cheap Quad bike fitted with some stupid bodywork and made road legal

Yes, but it was funny! It was never intended to be a serious suggestion.

It was just some light entertainment on a Sunday evening.

It was a laugh to watch him sneak-by the multi-storey pay barriers and start up the engine in the library, along with the Dragon's Den scene  

[Andy]

Ok, yeah, Dragons Den scene was pretty funny. Just smacked a bit of running out of ideas though. I know it's a car show and that but the connection for the idea was a bit far fetched!

[Big Mouse]

Clarkson's bits were boring and brought nothing to the show imho

The bentley was awesome, out of our pockets yes, but what a piece of equipment to go a rally round in.

One of my fave bits ever... Funny how different people view it, but I actually cringed when he was on the A3.

I liked the whole episode, and I think the Pagani is a thing of beauty inside and out.

[Cunning Plan]

I glad other people did like it, I mean, we don't want it turning into Fifth Boring Gear, staring Tiff 'Annoying' Nedel.

In my opinion:

Fifth Gear = Factual Motoring Show
Top Gear = Entertainment Motoring Show
