60 Minutes is going to have a segment about BBC Top Gear today Sunday I think some of you might like to watch.

Thanks for the heads up Vince. I was catching up on my Top Gear watching yesterday. I'm looking forward to seeing what they have to say about production costs and liability. I'm amazed at how dangerous some of the stuff they drive and pull looks and how they get away doing it on public roads.

Missed it but it is available online.  This show is amazing, wish it was more than 7 episodes a season.

Decent segment that describes the show itself, but I had hoped for more on how they make the episodes.  

Typical 60 Minutes stupid weenie narration however: "Tom Cruise was nearly killed."  By driving a car that happened to end up on two wheels, while wearing a full face helmet and a full harness in a car with a roll cage?
