Nigel Sheldon	Posted - 2007.11.19 19:09:00 - [1] You know what, i was thinking the other day being a brit nd all, what is the best show on the TV these days. Being a Sci-Fi nut i automatically went for Stargate or something along those lines, and then I got to thinking. You see in the UK these days we have a choice of basically three options. Mass Marketed American TV Game Shows OR Shows like Pop Idol, and Strictly Come Dancing. Thats it! Let's be honest, going through these 3 ideas.... 1. American Mass Marketed TV......not a lot of thought goes into these programs, they all follow a standard formula, and any brave ones there are get cancelled. 2. Game shows....well I will admit there are some good ones out there....the weakest link still makes me laugh, the rest are pretty much the same formula again, and besides half the time you go....oh didn't i see him on..... 3. Pop Idol shows. Now as much as I love Simon Cowell and his instant put-downers and all, how many of these types of shows do we really have to have! I mean talk about over-kill.....damn you Big Brother. So I was left with a startling and quite amazing choice..the only show worth watching on TV these days is Top Gear! I know i was as shocked as you, but there you have it. So if you want to have fun on a sunday evening...or any other for that thought, tune in 8pm bbc2 Sunday or hell even youtube it. Thank you for your time Mr. J Clarkson.

DarkMatter Sintered Sanity	Posted - 2007.11.19 20:30:00 - [7] Originally by: Tao Han Except for that redneck episode, that one scared the crap out of me I still think some of that was acting... Like the cow on the roof of the Camaro? You brits don't actually think we have cows dead on the side of the road? And he would have needed a crane to put it on top of the car, not to mention weld in some bracing, as it would have just collapsed the roof... However, I did laugh my ass off the entire episode...

Auraurious Silentium. The Church.	Posted - 2007.11.19 21:05:00 - [9] Yes the only reason I EVER turn on the tv is for top gear, sunday isnt just a sunday anymore. Everything must be stopped to watch it! Perfection.
Wendat Huron Stellar Solutions	Posted - 2007.11.19 21:10:00 - [10] Me personally would rather watch Meerkat Manor. These forums are FUBAR, upgrade this decade!
Terail Zoqial	Posted - 2007.11.19 21:10:00 - [11] Deffinately, me and the wife aren't very knowledgeable with cars, have no real interest, but top gear IS the best program (with heroes ) on atm.
Sqalevon The Ragnarg Brotherhood	Posted - 2007.11.19 21:13:00 - [12] All the races on topgear are setup In the episode where he races the Mercedes Mclaren SLR to Oslo, he drives in the wrong direction on the "afsluitdijk" in the Netherlands, you can tell by the side on wich the sea is on... But I still love the show :D
Gralg Merglen Minmatar Fusion Enterprises Ltd Mostly Harmless	Posted - 2007.11.19 21:30:00 - [13] I watch TV for exactly 1 hour a week, and that is to watch Top Gear. They get it on BBCA too, but its usually at least a year behind the UK :( Originally by: Graalum I can also confirm that the guristas pirates have a titan. We tried to kill it but unfortunately it mwded away at 5k/second and smacked us in local.
Taniquetil Caldari	Posted - 2007.11.19 21:37:00 - [14] All hail Top Gear! :)

Gummi Laughing Leprechauns Corporation	Posted - 2007.11.19 22:00:00 - [16] Yup Top Gear, and I also enjoy the Long Way Down
Bosie Veto Corp	Posted - 2007.11.19 22:02:00 - [17] Originally by: Sqalevon All the races on topgear are setup In the episode where he races the Mercedes Mclaren SLR to Oslo, he drives in the wrong direction on the "afsluitdijk" in the Netherlands, you can tell by the side on wich the sea is on... But I still love the show :D I think they go back and re-shoot stuff to get the right pictures for the show. I would also say that they put a lot of thought into the races to make them as close as they can. "There is a forgotten, nay almost forbidden word, which means more to me than any other.

But I still love the show :D There's this thing, called editing... sometimes people mirror image footage (flip it) to get the right angle, or manipulate it... perhaps that gave the impression he was driving on the wrong side of the road... >>> TRIBUTE TO A FALLEN WINGMAN <<<
Mtthias Clemi Gallente Infinitus Odium The Church.	Posted - 2007.11.19 22:14:00 - [19] A lot of the stuff in the show is written... he is a writer after all! hes said that before. what matters is that its entertaining. -------------------------------------------- THE CAKE IS A LIE!

mackem Fusion Enterprises Ltd Mostly Harmless	Posted - 2007.11.19 23:15:00 - [20] Yes top gear is easily the best program on atm. Although Hammond and his new 'love' Oliver is er... worrying.
Valan Genco Interstellar Alcohol Conglomerate	Posted - 2007.11.19 23:42:00 - [21] Don't like Clarkson but the format is good. Respect to the guy who walked across the humber. Most people would die 20 yds out. /start sig I love old characters that post 'I've beeen playing the game four years' when I know their account has been sold on. /end sig

I would also say that they put a lot of thought into the races to make them as close as they can. This is true. The in-car footage is 'real', mostly from the actual race, when they're done they track the route and shoot some external shots, and some other things to make it look nice. Can't have only the race footage to make it interesting, it's still an entertainment show rather than a documentary.... EVE History Wiki
Astorothe Aperture Science Industries	Posted - 2007.11.20 05:53:00 - [24] This show makes the TV licence worth it. Eve Web Design \| PerthChat \| Learning to Trade
Kodiak31415 An Eye For An Eye Rule of Three	Posted - 2007.11.20 06:04:00 - [25] Signed. JC is one of my personal heroes. Someday I hope to be half as much of an *** as he is. As I live in the U.S. I don't get TG on the tv so I have to download it every Sunday night. I usually wake up before school to watch it Monday morning. I think I have every episode of the modern version of TG on my computer. For anyone else in the states: The real version of top gear is MUCH better than the edited down junk we get here. (unless you get bbc). _______________________________ Pleese exucse any seplling erorr's in tihs psot

I think I have every episode of the modern version of TG on my computer. For anyone else in the states: The real version of top gear is MUCH better than the edited down junk we get here. (unless you get bbc). The real Top Gear lasts a full hour - no commercial breaks, the episodes are one full hour long. So in order to show them in the US at full length you would need a 3 hour slot, considering you get more ads than TV over there. In the Netherlands they don't even air the episodes - They simply edit, cut and paste parts from different episodes together in a 40-minute collage, with 20 minutes of ads in between - They even replace the damn music. And Top Gear is prolly one of the best TV show ever with regards to using proper music. Watch it on the BBC properly, or download them. All those people who think they know how to edit a foreign TV show should be shot in their nostrils. EVE History Wiki

CCP Eris Discordia	Posted - 2007.11.20 10:23:00 - [29] Top Gear is awesome and I want either of them to be my driving instructor, except James...he¦s too slow I might as well walk, although making martini or what was it on the pole was pretty damn cool. Pink Dread has been hijacked

Ealiom Infinitus Morti R0ADKILL	Posted - 2007.11.20 10:43:00 - [30] ahk i could never watch this show. The awful studio 'gags' that they recite from the telepromters is toe curlingly bad. It's like watching your dad dance or something. And as the meat of the show is the same folk flying about in cars. I generally reach for the remote. And im sorry OP but Top Gear has been effected by the dreaded TV Americanization. I watched the episode were they took their car into the car wash and apparently set fire to the whole place. And they ran away! Yeah sure! It reeks a little too much of fake and trying too hard! ModelsBlackbird Executioner
