Top Gear Review

Overall Rating

Good information on cars, combined with good humour.
Fun, wierd and amusing challenges.
Doesn't take itself too seriously.

Not on every sunday (but repeats are on Digital TV)

Some say that Top Gear is the best known TV show about cars in the world, and that there's a sunday night slot on BBC2 allocated to it. All we know is we love it! I've been a fan of Top Gear for a long time now. I started watching not long after the White Stig became a member of the team (after Perry McCarthy left). One of the things I like about Top Gear is that it isn't just a bunch of boring men talking about cars - they take the mickey out of anyone and everyone (but are well-meaning in their jokes), and also get good car info over too. I like the special features, like turning a Robin Reliant into a rocket, using Toyota Aygos in a football match, making the Stig do a ski jump on a snowmobile, driving across Botswana in old cars and racing the Bugatti Veyron across Europe and racing a Ford Transit round the Nurnburgring race track. Will the crazy hilarity of this odd trio never end? I hope not. And, like many fans, I do tend to wonder who is the Stig? I've been given many theories, but still can't be sure.
