Un-official GTPlanet BBC Topgear UK ThreadTV

[Sanji Himura]

No. Some of them, like the cruise liner vs. car for example, clearly started at the Top Gear office, while another, like the three way race for AC Milan tickets, started at Wembley Stadium. The race to Blackpool is one of my favorite Top Gear races ever because of the one tank of fuel restriction, and I can't relax about it without knowing the exact starting point of the race.

Got the dvd for Christmas, watched it last night, thought it was pretty good but the ending was awful, I know they had been stopped, fined and banned but that's no excuse they could have easily put in a proper ending...

...also , there is a documentary about cars and speed with Luther and Mandela actor Idris Elba on BBC2 tonight and tomorrow night...

For all those still interested :>>> Making Speed a bit more accessible and understood to the mainstream...

@CTznOfTime look at my review of it on the previous page. Some of the mistakes in those two shows are really embarrassing.

i saw your post prior to posting... but overall, still a great show.

 

[Bo]

No no no... those mistakes are unforgivable! Any car lover would cringe and switch it off immediately! I thought for someone who was making a show on cars he wasn't particularly knowledgeable on the finer details... perhaps it would have been better executed with a more knowledgeable presenter?

Can we all just ignore that and drool over the gratuitous NASCAR oppo?

Well it's January now. When's the next season?

Clarkson tweeted about it a month ago saying it would start on the 23rd, which I'm guessing was a mistake as that happens to be a Thursday. The closest Sunday is on the 26th, so that's my guess.

The TG Special will round off the new series in March according to another one of Clarkson's December tweets.

Theres a James May Toy Stories on at 9 tonight on BBC2, where he builds a full size bike out of Meccano (with some help!) and he attempts to do a lap of Isle of Man in it with Oz Clarke in tow!

 

[Bo]

I'm recording that .
I've actually got some of the track he used in the second Hornby challenge.

Looks like Netflix got rid of every episode prior to Episode 1 of season 15...

The Africa special from last year has just started on BBC.

Two of my favourite episodes personally.👍

Did I do more than 1 series of that?

 

[Mac K]

Yeah, I've seen that. 🤬

I wonder if it might just be the Canadian Netflix...

Looks like it is... But I think there is a way to make netflix think that we are in the US.

Removed

This is officially naughty and almost certainly against Netflix's T&Cs, which says "You also agree not to: circumvent, remove, alter, deactivate, degrade or thwart any of the content protections in the Netflix service" – and could get you banned.

So we'll have none of that

My British friend recently talked me into watching some of the episodes on Netflix. I have to admit I truly enjoy this show a lot. You really just have to take it for what it is, entertainment. My favorite episodes are when they have to travel across long distances from point A to point B. The offroad episodes are so fun. I like Richard Hammond the best. When they are all 3 together is when it is the most entertaining. A lot of the episodes are hilarious. There are times I have tears in my eyes from laughing so hard at the stuff they do.

Yes that's one of my favorite too. They had to find the source of the Nile. That's the one where Richard had the WRX(AWD) and was pulling the BMW (RWD) and Volvo (FWD) vehicles out when they got stuck? That was a very good episode. Jeremy was using a log as a brake when he rolled backward and it flew through the back window. They started stealing parts from each other then put the toilet seat on the hood of the WRX.

Was waiting for something official, but it is now confirmed as true.

 

[RACECAR]

Am I the only one who didn't like how the new episodes have seemingly dropped in FPS? Seems like the older episodes (like with the power laps or the Star in a Reasonably priced car) that those were in 60 FPS, but now they seem to be much slower (about 30 or less).

So intense, much excitement

Seriously, looking forward to it.

seems like they were testing average everyday 4 door saloons...

When I went to see Top Gear Live in Glasgow, the audience were shown an exclusive preview for the new series which has things that I'm not going to tell you about until the series starts.

Watch Series 10 if you haven't already. Generally seen as the best Top Gear season.

That being said, I still love it.

The last 2 seasons were utter howlers in my opinion. Hope this breaks the trend.
