Unfortunately, once you've seen it being produced, it will never be the same again.
You learn just how contrived every joke, laugh, scene is and the fact that every race is fixed - it's all fiction.
I know it's no longer a "magazine" program, more pure entertainment.

Hey, what else is there to watch on a freezing winter Sunday night - we all know it's just a bit of entertainment, enjoy and stop acting like a bunch of moany old men (like me!) ;-)
Ps; always suspected Hammond was a knob

I think it's good sometimes, but last night it was mostly stupid. Trying too hard?
did people really not realise that it was scripted and races fixed before? :?

Well I knew, but the point is, when you see it being produced, you are "told" when to laugh and whether the audience has laughed enough to satisfy the presenters' egos (including running the scene again with more laughter on my visit). Then there are things such as the fact that they tend to push all the pretty girls near the front for the camera etc. etc. When you've travelled nearly 200 miles ...
Yes, I know it's showbiz but when you experience it and how cynical it is, it suddenly takes the veneer off Sunday's one hour rollercoaster ride. Also, by now the cliches have been done to death. You know that, for example, James will always get lost or be the slowest or Clarkson will always say Car "A" is absolutely brilliant but of course you shouldn't buy it etc.
I find Hammond so cringe-worthy.....He needs to grow up quite a lot!! Has anyone seen him on that game show total wipeout!!
Always been into 'motors' but not a fan of the show, always prefered fifth gear! Most certainly always been a fan of the best grandad driver out there! :lol:
