I'll have to wait until the new stuff appears on Youtube, but I assure you guys, it cannot be as bad as the Aussie Top Gear. That was truely cringe worthy. Download expat shield.... expatshield.com/then watch it on Iplayer without regional problems. I doff my hat to you sir, cheers for that!

It's just an hour of silliness about cars, and all the better for it. 350 million viewers worldwide (according to Wiki) means they must be doing it right! I'm old enough to remember the William Woolard/Chris Goffey/Michelle Newman years, and believe me watching grass grow was a much more engaging pastime. Can you imagine 350,000,000 people sitting down to an hour of this every week? Yawwwwnnnn.... I've never really understood why anyone would want to watch an hour of 'serious' TV about cars. Especially not these days when a million pieces of footage about your own favourite motor is just a mouse-click away. Well I would, and did (just now, and when it was first on probably). Thanks for posting that I wouldn't be interested in watching that type of review on a modern car though; I wonder if you can get the old episodes on DVD?

I found it quite entertaining and, as i was watching it on iPlayer, Jeremy's bit about the iPlayer threw me as the connection was already doing that ;D As Mr Damaged said earlier, it is far and away better than the old TG. I watched several minutes of Chris Goffey waffle on about the Peugeot 605, describing technical details that the salesman probably didnt understand, telling us they run on 'new' 98 ron unleaded, are only available in 3dr saloon and explaing the variable butterfly valves on the intake system! I'm not sure anyone on here would watch it if it was about the latest executive model from Mazda/Ford/Citroen etc etc

I think we all know roughly what to expect from TG now. Watch it, or don't.
