Top Gear is back (erm again!)

9pm Sunday 15 November. Blame X-Factor for the timing!

Also lookout for the Top Gear Live World Tour, coming to a city near you. (Well near you if you live near places such as Amsterdam, Sydney or Birmingham to name but a few)

Agreed. I almost gets to the point where you grimace every time they try to make a joke and eventually it's painful to watch. They try too hard to be like Clarkson, Hammond and May, but the fact is Top Gear UK can never be emulated.

Can't wait for season 14!!! :D

Great so some more cliche and stereotypical jokes at our expense.

Not sure why you guys love this show so much, I think that Clarkson guy is a giant douche.

Because it's stupid and easy to watch. I'd also agree, Clarkson is an idiot, but he's funny in his idiocy, he doesn't really take himself seriously.

For me, it's an hour where I can sit back, chill, laugh and watch cars.

Why isn't 'he knows two facts about ducks and both of them are wrong' in the vote? :D

Clarkson is hilarious, as are the other two.

I like James May :)

Dunno why

James May is awesome. Probably because he less shouty than Hammond or Clarkson. That said I think Jeremy is the man. All the people who take his comments way to seriously ought to get a life.

Those two Xmas specials sound brilliant. Cannot wait for that. I absolutely love TG.

I couldn't have put it any better myself.

Jeremy Clarkson is no idiot - he is, as you said - The Man! I'll be entirely honest here - I'm not really an enthusiast when it comes to cars - but Clarkson makes me want to listen and learn about them. Anyone heard what's happening regarding The Stig? Top Gear without The Stig won't be the same, and after the last 'Stig' spilling the beans about how he was treated and going around warning others off the 'role', it might prove tricky to get a new one.

Anyway, didn't you see that documentary that Clarkson narrated/presented, about a little known raid of WW2? He was brilliant - he should do more stuff like that.

Regarding the best Stig line, this site makes for fun viewing:

Love these:

• Some say he isn’t machine washable, and all his potted plants are called Steve...

• Some say that he sleeps inside out, and that he once had full sex with Russell Brand's answering machine.

MasterBlaster76 added 4 Minutes and 27 Seconds later...

There is only one Top Gear because there is only one Clarkson, Hammond and May. Each brings a certain something to the show - if one was removed, it wouldn't work quite as well.

They've had several Stigs. I think the show could do with a revamp, get rid of the SIARPC, maybe have a guest racing driver doing laps in the cars instead of a Stig.

That very true. TG Australia was rubbish. The hosts were lame, the cars they had were dull. I think they've used about six different hosts. Shows it just ain't working.

However, TopGear US is different. Obviously it will never beat the original. But it's not bad. I saw the first episode and I was impressed. They had awesome cars (Dodge Viper SRT-10, Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera, Balboni and Murcialago SV) and a guest I had actually heard of (unlike in the Oz version).

They've had several Stigs. I think the show could do with a revamp, get rid of the SIARPC, maybe have a guest racing driver doing laps in the cars instead of a Stig.

I think the Stig is going to stay. It almost symbolises TG. However I saw this the other day:

Top Gear's new Stig is... Tiff Needell - mirror.co.uk

I don't think he'll be The Stig. The article says they needed someone to show the guest for the Xmas special how to go round the track so they got Tiff, who used to be on old Top Gear.
