Top Gear

Top Gear is back on our TV screens and Sunday nights are complete once again! Since its relaunch in 2002, Top Gear has become a firm favourite in households across the country and now thanks to the internet, across the world! For those of you that don't know, Top Gear is an hour long car show that is shown on BBC2 on Sunday nights. The presenters ------------------- Jeremy Clarkson is the main man and father figure of the group. His opinionated but humorous tongue-in-cheek presenting style fits the show perfectly and some of the comment he makes come back and bite him in the ars*. A lot of people find him rude and arrogant ...  Read the complete review

~~~Top Gear~~~ I have only really watched Top Gear over the last 7 or 8 years. Mainly because my fella is a huge fan but I can honestly admit I now look forward to the opening credits on a Sunday night. For those of you that have not had the pleasure of watching it you can find it on BBC 2 on a Sunday evening at 8pm (sometimes 9pm). As you can probably guess its show a motor vehicles (more prominently cars). The shows last for 1 hour and repeats can also be found on 'Dave' (cable channel) throughout the week. Im suprised to say that the show actually dates back to 1977 which is something I was not aware of! ~The ...  Read the complete review

Top Gear is a show I have remembered watching since I was a kid. It has changed a lot since I was little but 2 things have remained the same - Jerremy Clarkson and great entertainment. Top Gear has just entered its latest series. It is on every Sunday for an hour at 9pm and is one of BBC2's highest rated shows. I do think the new format works better with James May and Richard Hammond alongside Jerremy Clarkson. He now has other people to bounce off. The two extra presenters are great choices and both bring different characters to the show. A great piece of casting. The challenges are also great and have much wider appeal than the older version of ...  Read the complete review

Top Gear is a British TV programme, ostensibly about cars. But it's so much more than that! Let me take you on a tour of TG and it's key factors: ***Jeremy Clarkson*** Most people say they hate JC. But secretly everyone loves him. He's a bad-tempered, opinionated, grumpy and occasionally offensive middle-aged jeans-wearing middle-upper-class *rsehole - yet he's hilarious! He's the 'main' presenter of the show and he gives as good as he gets. ***James May*** 'Captain Slow' as he's known on the show is the fuddy-duddy, long-haired, loveable gentleman of the show. He is classed as the boring one but he's anything but - and he's ...  Read the complete review

Top gear began its life in 1977 and at that point was presented by a number of different people including Angela Rippon, Noel Edmonds and William woollard. I personally never saw an episode before 2002 and so i cant comment on what any of these presenters bought to the show. Currently Top Gear is presented by Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May. There is a great dynamic between the group, Hammond and Clarkson are allways taking the mick out of James 'captain slow' May and he is very much the whipping boy of the group. The show has a basic structure with certain aspects recurring each week, such as the cool wall (where the three ...  Read the complete review
