Or just download it, like every other breathing human will.

Note: I don't condone piracy or copyright theft, but as Andy Wilman, the show's Executive Producer, actually contributes to Finalgear, which distributes the TG episodes via a torrent site, I think I can get away with it this time.

Anyway - the episode was pretty good, but it all just seemed a little forced to me. I think they'd hyped it up a bit too much.

I have to agree with you Gav.

I too am getting a bit sick of these "lets see how many stupid things we can do on a fairly ordinary task" films they keep shooting. The bit with the rednecks I think was quite real though! (You can tell by the fact that they didn't have multiple camera angles for each rock being thrown!)

TG is, without doubt, one of the funniest shows on UK TV but there are some times I wish they'd stop trying to be a sitcom. Another pet peeve of mine is these so-called 'races' they have that are so clearly rigged as to make them cringe-worthy.

Later dudes.

The roadkill bit with the cow was totally believable wasnt it

ESSENTIAL OILS aren't essential unless you're an engine, a gearbox or a twat

tbh last nights top gear was a bit of a waste of time other than showing how out of date some parts of the usa are and how the government has failed its own people.

It was stupid what they done painting their cars what was the point. It was not at all funny.

Must admit it did get a bit out of hand, but it was one of the funniest TG they had done!

I agree, although personally I feel they would have been better off doing a one off show like for the winter olympics. Brilliant TV though.

I loved this episode. So so funny. "Man love rules OK" was just such an amazing thought from May I really am surprised a murder wasn't committed in the end.

In fact my lecturer mentioned this earlier today in a tutorial. He liked the shower gadget Jezza bought and was also on about who was going to win Best Album at the Brits on Wednesday.

Funniest TG episode I can remember seeing! Other mini-stories have been funnier, but for a whole hour's entertainment, that was awesome! The sheer randomness of the challenges, "You may only eat anything you find dead on the side of the road" LOL

for the slogans, the crew and writers probably helped out, i doubt they do everything as they want us to believe they did it.

fairplay to the woman at the petrol station for saying they were a hick town.

I thought it was.

Of course bits were staged, but at the end of the day Top Gear is an entertainment program and not a documentary series. The intention was to entertain an audience for an hour and DAMN! I was entertained!
