TV Top Gear - Season 7

Sheila M · 27 Nov 2005, 20:40 (Ref:1471619)

Anyone watching this at the moment?

The interview with the Transport Minister is hysterical

Piglet · 27 Nov 2005, 20:53 (Ref:1471624)

That was good - but the Paris car park is pricesless!!!!

Kicking-back · 27 Nov 2005, 20:58 (Ref:1471628)

I thought Jeremy came over very well in that interview - he's under-rated as a journalist.

And the road safety minister was a very good sport too.

**Peter Mallett** · 27 Nov 2005, 21:17 (Ref:1471638)

What has Hammond done to his teeth?

(BTW the SLK 55 is seriously uncool).

Suze · 27 Nov 2005, 21:23 (Ref:1471648)

the transport minister was good - but the paris car park better. only switched it on half way through interview though...

codename_47 · 27 Nov 2005, 21:24 (Ref:1471651)

Ahhh, the Ford GT...what a lovely, lovely car!

This show is part car show and part sitcom sometimes!

Sheila M · 27 Nov 2005, 21:44 (Ref:1471672)

Oh yes, the Paris car park was hilarious!

Pug620 · 27 Nov 2005, 22:34 (Ref:1471712)

But the best part had to be the Minister has 9 points!! how's that for setting a example.

But must of been fun in france with them cars!!

jase · 27 Nov 2005, 23:27 (Ref:1471738)

bugger, missed it. Whens the re-run?

garcon · 28 Nov 2005, 00:45 (Ref:1471772)

BBC2 7pm Tuesday. That's when I'll be watching it too!

Cynic · 28 Nov 2005, 07:25 (Ref:1471858)

I thought the minister gave as good as he got - Jeremy was always going to give him a roasting over speed camera's. The Paris car park was definitely the highlight though - absolutely hilarious. With all Jeremy's experience you'd think he would have checked the car park out before hand.

b1ackcr0w · 28 Nov 2005, 08:10 (Ref:1471878)

I think they knew exactly what they were doing with that car park - it was a good illustration of a very real downside of the super-car. Poor old Hammond though, you'd go and have your teeth whitened, just because you might as well because they aren't going to shut up about it.

I'm sure they did check it out - it was well planned entertainment

EvilPumpkin · 28 Nov 2005, 08:36 (Ref:1471905)

ahhh gotta love Sky Plus and series link. We shall watch it this evening

Les · 28 Nov 2005, 10:39 (Ref:1472001)

the car park was a scream. Those poor people stuck behind them

Fantasy GP610 · 28 Nov 2005, 13:02 (Ref:1472130)

Apparently he hasn't had his teeth whitened..........or so he says

....i'd just admit it if i was him.

That Paris car park stuff was the best laugh i've had all week.......i thought Hammond was about to get clobbered at one stage.

Thay have got to have checked that car park out previously........

I also liked James May saying "I can drive fast if i have to" ......or something along those lines.

Great

Normally I'd agree, but i accidently deleted all my pre-sets the other week.

and it's only when I miss a show do I realise i've not added it back.

josvandeperre · 28 Nov 2005, 13:07 (Ref:1472136)

Dont forget its repeated on Tuesday at 7 pm on BBC2

scorch · 28 Nov 2005, 13:25 (Ref:1472153)

if you didn't see it. watch the repeat... it's the best show ever.

The Paris Carpark must be the funniest TV i have ever seen. The 'Disagreement' between clarkson and little richard over the BMW M6, is just as funny.

Hazza · 28 Nov 2005, 13:40 (Ref:1472162)

To our Aussie chaps, we're getting it Monday nights on SBS. Cool eh?

Back on topic, my favorite TopGear moment was:
Simon Cowell: "Can we stop the competition now?"
Jeremy: "No we bloody well can't, ladies and gentlemen, next week we're inviting Damon Hill!"

And the Monaro review:
"Now, if you really want to, you can turn on the traction control, but you won't want to. Observe"
*Turns on TC*
Look out, pom aboard. You bloody woofter. Bloody pom, Pommy woofter. Backs too the wall! There's a pom about! My gran coulda taken that corner faster than you. Pommy *******. Watch out, pom aboa-
*Turns TC off*
"As you see, you'll be wanting to keep the traction control off"

spanner · 28 Nov 2005, 13:54 (Ref:1472175)

I have to say i think that was one of the best yet. Complete escape-ism with them arguing over the supercars.

Mr V · 29 Nov 2005, 15:12 (Ref:1473048)

Anyone see last weeks episode when Jezza "raced" the rock climber in a RS4 ?

Just knew that the nutter was gonna jump off the cliff on the way down, 19 seconds top to bottom

Joe Taylor · 30 Nov 2005, 17:44 (Ref:1474051)

I also found the carpark bit hilarious, but my favourite Top Gear moment of all time has to be the £1500 Porsches

Hip Priest · 30 Nov 2005, 20:17 (Ref:1474138)

Top Gear is such a good programme, that even those who aren't interested in cars can enjoy it. It is always beautifully filmed, and the rapport between the presenters is a joy to behold. It is the best thing on the telly, in my opinion.

This week's episode will feature a similar 'stunt' but with Italian exotica, and rumours are that they made the Porsches look like paragons of reliability.
