Hi ! I have a question. My brother in law's best friend is married to a woman from England. The subject of the show Top Gear came up as we have recently gotten the BBC America chanel. She stated that English hate the show and don't watch it. I think it's great and while we have an American version the BBC version is superior in every way.



So, Is she correct or is she just putting her own opinion out there?

It's probably one of the best shows on TV.... has been a bit lame of late, but its on my weekly "must see" list...

It's very popular (with men) and quite a few women, even the re-runs are continuously shown.

Liberals, lefties and eco-nuts don't like it or Jeremy Clarkson - just about everyone else does.

As has been said, there is a channel on UK Satellite that shows it several times a day.

Sh'e putting her own opinion forward.

The show has some of the highest ratings in the UK and in the World.  I've watched every show at least 87 times and sleep with a Jeremy Clarkson pillow.

From her comment I can deduce that she is probably a greeny, whiney, hybrid driving, social worker who hates penises, and uses sex as a weapon to subdue her man.  I bet she has beads in her hair, smokes roll-ups, spent 8 years living in a Yurt and sleeping with a Goat called Boris.  She has married an American because she hates big cars and nuclear weapons and wants to destroy you from within under a barage of dried beans and pulses, and sweep away the unruly mobs of freedom loving Americans in a torrent of Yak's milk.

He should eject, marry a stripper called Crystal, and sire three children named Bugatti, Koenigsegg, and Ariel.

Thanks.

What funky said.

Good show, not too much about cars the average Joe would or could buy but for the pure entertainment value, a big thumbs up!

Clarkson for PM is a movement that probably has enough support to see him win through if he ever ran for office.

Don't like it much myself (never been into cars in a big way)
But i appreciate the work they have done to the format, its more an entertainment program involving celeb interviews that involves cars- this is what has made it so successful, and why i think they exported it to the US (the format, not the show is what has attempted to be emulated, but i think they have struggled to find a presenter team that have clicked like Clarkson/May/Hammond from what i have heard)
Its certainly come a long way from the Top Gear in the 80s and 90s that was just a car review and advice program.

We actually ordered our car 5 weeks before the programme aired, glad it got a good review.

HA! Nope.


Top Gear has people who hate the shit out of it, due to Clarkson - he's like Marmite, you love him or you hate him - or the type of show it is (boys messing around in cars and other vehicles).




Everyone else seems to love it or at least tolerate it.

Saying Top Gear isn't popular is like saying nobody watches the Superbowl over there

Best show on the TV far and away .  I like how he pisses off the liberal global warming crows as well as truck(lorry) drivers

Like anybody with an attitude in traffic he thinks he pisses off truck drivers. When the going gets tough, he's the one with the dented metal and a sour face.

^This she is probably one of the people that got offended by Clarkson's bit about shooting Strikers in front of their family.

Top Gear UK is awesome.  I watch it every Tuesday when the new episode airs in the US.  The US version sucks so bad, I can't even get through a whole episode.  BBC America is one of my top pics and saved on the remote.  Now, if the would just start production of the new season of DR Who, I'd be set.  And Primevel.
