I thought the finished car chase was actually pretty good, and would much rather have seen more about how they did that than the bits with Clarksons silly dialogue and Hammonds daft stunts. The filming sequences were something new and different for the show, the pratting about was just the same tired joke.
I actually liked May with the Panda. Probably because truth be told, he's right.....

After about 5-10 minutes of the car chase bit I just turned over, I don't find the 'humor' funny at all - pretending to be rubbish at everything then acting surprised at peoples staged/scripted rections

The Twitter post 8 hours ago from Richard Porter (the guy who does the Sniffpetrol.com website, writes for Evo mag and is the TopGear script editor) said it all:

"So anyway, tonight's TopGear. Sorry about that"

Admittedly there were a couple of laughs but it really really really has turned into a caricature of itself. In fact even as I was watching it I thought "This is weird".

I found last nights show a bit crap. It was ok until they started to do that daft car race scene. I am wondering how many more series they can do before they get canned.

They just seem to be trying a bit too hard these days.......they will have canned laughter next!

wish they'd just get back to what they do best which road tests and road trips / races. The Bugatti Veyron trip across Europe against the plane, and the Mclaren SLR run to Norway were stunning pieces of TV.

Smashing up Focus' and Jags for virtually no laughs is just a waste of money.
