Top Gear UK has now achieved the status of most popular show on British television.

Which is no doubt true because its no longer a car show but fills a void in the area of popular entertainment. What this means is that Top Gear UK is in reality now just a sad shadow of what it once was.

Now it has become just a mish mash of purile idiotic crap and self-centred ego stroking featuring 'celebrities' and ' lite humour' , with only the odd rare bit of real car action thrown in .

As was the case in the last Top Gear UK series, in this new series there was about 5 minutes of real car enthusiast action in the hour long show - so, so boring!

You want facts and technical info and motoring action - watch Drive It , or Cruizin and Gasolene on TVS (on Sydney tv maybe on other channels in other states) - I leave out Custom Restos because it too, in common with Top Gear UK, is mostly just an excuse of a car show with a presenter longing to exhibit both his own insuperable ego and a peculiar fixation relating to a part of his rear anatomy.

With all the different brands and models of sports and GT cars being produced around the world the selections usually shown on UK Top Gear are so limited -the ubiquitous Ferrari/Porsche/BMW/Jag appear in virtually every episode .........boring.............very very very boring

And they always slag off anything Japanese esp Nissan made and anything Australian.

And who wants to see caravan demolition derbys and similar tedious cheap time filler crap in what is supposed to be the true enthusiasts car show?

When did you last see an 18-28 car enthusiast , someone like yourself maybe, given any exposure or involvement in any Top Gear UK episode?

The sad reality is that if you want to achive huge television ratings - which is Top Gear UKs main obsession- you got to give a show designed to attract pensioners and gays, housewives etc - (here you can insert any category or class apart from actual car enthusiasts) - as committed viewers - you stop producing a show for true car lovers to watch .

They even boast the alleged fact that the midgets main role is to get women viewers to the show, and no doubt May is the link to the pensioner set, and its your own guess as to who is meant to bring the gays on board, and Jeremy's appeal is to all boofheads, of course.

NOW REPEAT TEN TIMES : Its not a car show - ITS just POPULAR LIGHT ENTERTAINMENT .... thats all.

PS none of this is a criticism of gays and pensioner etc - generically their fine people, but they should have their own shows on British TV.

I don't think anybody watches Top Gear for facts and technical information. People watch the show to be entertained and Clarkson, Hammond and May are great entertainers. If you don't like the way it is presented now don't watch it. Simple eh.
