Top Gear

Apart from the second episode of season 18, that had a great piece on Chinese car manufacturers, it has mostly been disappointing.   Thanks to Youtube for preserving this brilliant Top Gear humor

If you like the Robin Reliant episode, look for part two where they launch one into space.

Are you kidding me?  I haven't watched the 3rd episode yet but the first two had me grinning ear to ear for an hour straight.  Granted they haven't imploded any buildings or almost killed Hammond yet, but there are still 4 episodes to go.

One of the best episodes.

The Reliant as a spaceship episode is also very good. Makes me wonder how big their production budget is.

Don't get me wrong, I still think it is the best show on TV (not saying much).  IMHO it has been declining over the years - it is getting too commercial; relying on more slapstick, outlandish stunts.  Give me the humour that was Rolling the Reliant Robin or the Peel P50.  Damn... I miss Fawlty Towers and Black Adder
