So how did everyone find the first episode???

TBH I thought it was a bit shite.... far too long spent on Hammonds crash.. the roadworks thing was a waste of time and money and not really very funny... and the only cars reviews were a couple of very expensive luxury barges way out of reach of the average viewer...

What did you think?

Thank f**k it's back admittedly a little boring but the roadworks think whilst not funny i think showed how you can get roadworks down a lot quicker if you do work round the clock.
Or you could watch Fifth Gear with VBH and Tim Lovejoy (he really should stick to Soccer AM)

The roadworks bit was rubbish - waay too scripted.

The section on Hammonds crash was interesting - the car looked awesome up until the tyre burst.

And don't you think Top Gear would be tottally dull if all they reviewed were cars that we could afford? They need to review mad cars otherwise no one would watch it!

Jeremy slipped in some excellent comments too, ala Jade Goody :lol:

To summarise - I'm glad its back :)

Pretty much agree with what's been said. But I do think Hammond has aged a lot and doesn't seem his usual self. Obviously it's the first show back but perhaps he just needs to find his feet a bit more.

Thing is, why does the average viewer care about him going 300 and odd mph? Lets get some actual car reviews back, as otherwise it might as well be named Jezza's talk show and friends or something.

good to have it back on again, pretty much agree with everything said so far, but i think the further episodes will be better now theyve got the crash out of the way.

Yeah i quite liked the roadworks bit too, some amusing moments :D

That Jag... Mmm lovely, the supercharger sounded ace. And Ford the tossers want to sell Aston Martin.. WTF! It would mean Jag wouldnt be able to make a car like that seeing as it basically aston technology underneath lol

I thought it was really good :D I liked the road works part, but I did hear that it cost double what it should have :huh: :lol: Probably the 75 cod and chips :lol:

Good to see Hammond back on the TV, but he didn't look to comftable. It wouldn't be the same without him.
