Top Gear Series 14

[Max Veteran]

Best episode of the series. I'll have to watch it again though since there were 7 other people in the room chatting through most of it :angry:

[Richard Hammond]

Haha condoms, vaseline and tampax.

[StealMySoda]

this episode was brilliant except some parts were unnecessarily ruined by their preDICKtable acting. :p

"Richard Hammond was the smallest living organism for miles" :rofl:

(Atacama desert)

I chuckled at that bit too :p

[John Freeman]

Oh wow. That was marvelous and amazing. I mean, this is up there with arctic challenge few years ago :o

now STFU comes in three colours.

clearly the hammond losing his landcruiser near the end was scripted.

yea :/

what was the point? I could see how staged it was even before it was rolling. Wasn't funny at all :/

[tsupersonic]

I liked the episode, they go places I'll never get to go (camera crew gets amazing shots), and drive some cars I will never get to drive, add in the entertainment factor = epic show.

[Xerxes]

It was inevitable, we had known the brakes weren't that good on the Land Cruiser since the beginning of the episode, so I was expecting it to roll and wasn't disappointed :p When James went after Jeremy with the machete on Death Road when he "accidentally" rammed him was priceless!

[Vice]

I think they did that to Hammond's vehicle because there was a very high probability his vehicle would roll if he had gone down the slope in it. As was mentioned earlier in the episode he had put huge wheels on it that raised its centre of gravity and perhaps they thought it was to risky to send him down in it. But it was more funnier to have this 'mistake' happen than it was to explain that there was a chance he would die so they'd skip that bit.

[crazzy88ss]

Yea I watched it a 2nd time tonight and came to the same conclusion.

Most of it is heavily scripted, if you added canned laughter it would be a sitcom about three presenters making a car program.

I am going to watch episode 6 now but as far as i am concerned the funniest moment in this series so far is this

I loved it! "Ann Summers Box" :rofl:

[watchthisspace]

I wasn't really impressed with the South America episode, I felt it lacked a lot when compared to other challenges they have done. It felt scripted and was missing their personal feelings and emotion.

This season seems like it's the down turn of Top Gear, but I hope I'm wrong and will continue to keep watching it.

I'm a huge fan of british humor, but that part was just too stupid and too scripted to be remotely funny.

Um... Of course it was scripted.It was not one of the spontaneous but scripted jokes they usually make neither trying to persuade you that it was.

Still i found it very funny.

[Richard Hammond]

Getting bored of Top Gear now they are becoming parodies of themselves.

[Sethos]

No only is the heavy scripting starting to show but they are re-using EVERYTHING! Every joke, every punchline, every sentence, every ****ing comparison and it's starting to wear thin.

[andrew_f]

I think I'm done with Top Gear - it's become a pale imitation of it's former self... it's almost as if the 3 hosts have been replaced by actors pretending to be the 3 hosts.

Every series is becoming the same:

"Oh let's go on holiday"

"Oh let's find the best driving road in XYZ"

"Let's race long / wide / otherwise not-normal vehicles"

"Let's build something and then drive it somewhere to see how people react"

"Let's start a fire"

"Let's do a ridiculous challenge like fly a blimp built from a car"

"Let's get given ?1000 to buy an old car then go to a destination for the stig to race it. On the way we'll break down, go the wrong way, bump into each other's cars and generally be c*cks"

[Shibby]

It seems I've finding quite a lot of people starting to get turned off by top gear now.

Perhaps they should have a break for a year or so.

Everytime he says LFA all I can think of is 'Latest Forum Activity' :p

There's a lovely looking brunette in a white vest and red jumper in the audience this week. ;)
