Top Gear - Season 22
Sure most of you will have seen it, but Top Gear is back this Sunday, BBC2, 8PM. Looks like a slightly longer season this time as well (10 episodes apparently).
There was a live stream with the three presenters a couple of nights ago... http://youtu.be/F8T1rMsJtQU ...which includes a few clips of what is to come this series. Sure a lot of it will be predictable, but I see Lydden, rallycross Supercars and a mention of Top Gear USA in the clips, so I'm looking forward to seeing what they do there. :nod: |
Really looking forward to this. They said that the hovercraft/bike/car/public transport race is in the opening episode.
|
Hopefully this season will make up for the pretty pants Patagonia special over Christmas!
I am sure they used to have each season coming out much more regularly then they do now however these later seasons have have a bit more money pumped into them judging on the varying locations they end up in each episode. The main ethos now is entertainment over fact, as far as I am concerned the more cheap car challenges they do the better, it's not as if they review cars with much focus on the consumer now-a-days so keep the laughs coming! |
Completely agree. I love the cheap car challenges. Be interesting to see them have a 3 way race somewhere or a road trip with a subaru, an evo and something else equivilant like the Mazda 3 turbo.

on series record:grin:
|
My daughter is getting excited about watching this, finally she`s interested in cars......err no dad Ed Sheeran is in it! :fool:
|
Interesting choice of pin badges, obviously the guys are big fans of Chile now...
|
I'm going hovercraft racing on land for a stag this coming saturday. Watching this has just reminded me how hard they are to control and how likely I'm going to come out hurt! Haha.
Good to see its 10 weeks this time though. |
|
If there is nothing else on, i'll watch it.
It's gone down hill since the days of Chris Goffey/Tiff Needell |
Looks good tonight. They take a Bentley gt, bmw m6 and a GTR to aus. :ok:
|
Could be a good night in front of the box, as Our Guy in India is on Ch4 at 9pm.

Managed to watch all of the first programme but the second episode was much the same as the first and I fell asleep just before the end. If the series follows along the same theme then I'll miss the whole of episode ten.:oldman::oldman:
No wonder the production company are in talks to pull the plug on Top Gear, Mr Clarksons uncontrollable mouth getting in the way :tissue: |
Just sat down watching this evenings episode.
Obviously they havent met Nige in his ambulance! :drive: |
What a crap episode this week, very disappointing.

Daniel Ricciardo now fastest F1 driver :10:
Lewis to be back ASAP? Another nail in the Vettel legacy? |
I'm all for a bit of TG larking about but so far this series it's been a touch relentless.
When are we going to see a good car review of the latest hot hatch or power house.....?????? |

I thought it was quite funny, but it seems that the series will be more biased to the "specials"/p'eeing about this time around.
At least there hasn't yet been an episode that was clearly cobbled together out of films that didn't fit elsewhere, which happened in the last couple of series. I think it is a bit of "give the people what they want". We are a bit of a geeky minority wanting facts and figures and thorough shakedowns of cars. Prime time Sunday evening viewing for many is about winding down and watching buffoonery. The Hurycan piece was good earlier in the series I thought, so it has not all been cocking about. |
As a motoring program last night was a bit poor but from an entertainment point of you it was easy to watch and had me laughing when Hammond delivered the patient through the window and when they were trying to treat the "patient" in the back of the cars.
Hats of to Ricciardo though, that was a good lap and if you believe what they say he did 3 in the same time. Despite what anyone says, wouldn't we all love their job (except maybe the Argentina bit). |
I agree with Banstead: it was a very silly episode, but a lot of the gags did make me laugh.
Given some of the car reviews they promised in the pre-season blurb I'm expecting a few studio based episodes later in the season. I just have my fingers crossed that they have enough content to fill 10 episodes and they don't have too much filler. Quote:

I can't believe Top Gear has come to this.
Don't think I'll bother watching it from now on, it's just getting silly now. GO AND TEST SOME PROPER CARS |
Short trailer for Epsiode 4 now up...
http://youtu.be/0x7gbfEfIi8 ...with features on the BMW i8 and AMG GT it should look more like a car show this week! |
thought it was pretty crap tonight. although Gillian Anderson has aged well and gave me the horn even after all those years watching x files.
I would have been well pissed off if I was Hammond having to wait that long for recovery on that mountain:boom: |
I do like pickups... and they were pretty impressive pickups.
The Lexus feature was a bit uninspiring. I was impressed by Gillian Anderson's lap, given what was said about her earlier efforts! |
I was hoping that Gillian Anderson was going to pull some mega lap out of the bag, just to knock that smug twat Olly Murs off the top of the times!
The Ford pick up sounded the nuts. Plus it was called Velociraptor, which is pretty badass. It looked ridiculously huge in the studio though, it would be a monster on UK roads! Really looking forward to next weeks episode, as I believe it has rallycross content. :doubleup: |
There's been worse episodes this year..... even though the new Lexus got a slating, the sound of the LFA still gets me excited :)
Plus the pickups were mental. Too much time wasted with Hammond being a dick up a mountain though. |
Just popped into my inbox...

Trailer for the last episode of season 22 now online. The blurb seems to indicate it will be the last two features of season 22, presented by Hammond and May:
