Not at all, but the people moaning watch it every week then cry about it, if it was so bad they should turn over and watch strictly come mig welding.
I think that's to do with the show being a shadow of it's former self, the people complaining are still fans of the show, just disappointed with the current state of it. Saying 'well watch Fifth Gear instead if you don't like it' is missing the point somewhat. I want to watch Top Gear, not a facsimile of a show I used to enjoy.

But my point is some people moan that there aren't enough car reviews, too scripted bla bla, but if car reviews is what you want then fifth gear is what you want. You have to come to terms that top gear is not what it used to be. It's moved away from solely car reviews and is an entertainment program.

Jesus christ can everyone stop saying this - the problem with the show is not its lack of reviews.....its the embarrasingly cringeworthy slapstick crap that takes up 90% of the programme.
Its sad to see Clarkson and May trying to act out a comedy sketch devised by the shows writers - that bit with the wind turbines last night nearly made me cry. I actually think Clarkson and May have a lot more to offer than trying to recreate a 'carry on film'. They are not brainless idiots...why act like it? Hammond obviously does belong on childrens Tv so I am no longer suprised that he treats the viewer like a moron.
Last night had more in common with Blue Peter than Top Gear

I prefer James Mays own programmes now, he's wasted on Topgear.

"Wheres Hammond?"
"Hang on I'll call him" *presses 'retard' button*

I laughed heartily at this Peter.
