I like to watch TV programmes on my big-screen TV sitting on my comfy sofa, rather than stuck in front of a PC

Bugger!!!! Missed it
BBC iPlayer, Pammy? We have Virgin cable for our sins, but at least we can watch it on a 42" rather than 14".
I missed it too (went to see Carlos Santana at 02 - excellent by the way :bannana: ) and so will watch it tonight at my leisure, rather than wait for the repeat on Friday.
I don't understand how running out of petrol would affect the cats.
It's repeated on Friday, 9PM, BBC2
and on Saturday on BBC 3/4?
Are they playing just yesterday?
In concert it normally to get the spirit and the atmosphere but it still better to listen on CD.

I'm not asolutely sure why myself. I think it's something like when you blow on the embers of a fire it gets hotter, with no exhaust gasses and the engine being driven by the momentum of the car fresh air passing through causes an overheat?

I think so.
Loved the Prius v M3 economy drive!
And I would love to see the Austin Allegro Owners Forum after they, er, set that new world record in that rare (for a reason!) Allegro Vanden Plas.

They could have used a base 1100 HL or something, rather than a nice model...

Am I the only one who finds 80% of most episodes of TG really sad and childish?

If you find the content to be 80% rubbish then why on earth are you watching it??
I find it sad how folks will habitually watch a program that they find to be 80% rubbish. It reminds me very much of Mary Whitehouse most viewers waited for her to criticise a forthcoming program and then everyone would watch it. I think Coronation Street, Emmerdale Farm, Crossroads, and all the other silly soaps are 80% rubbish and guess what? I don't watch them. I accept soaps are very popular so I keep quiet and watch something that I like. More fool me if I watch any program that I know will contain 80% rubbish. (that will say more about me rather than the content of the program)
Top Gear is a light hearted tongue in cheek comedy program with a motoring theme. I think it is well planned, well researched and 95% fiction, but 95% funny. We are all different, we all have different ideas about what is funny, but we all have the choice about what to watch.
What is the 80% rubbish content? If it is the funny aspect, then perhaps you are in the wrong to watch? As the humour being broadcast is not to your specific taste? (We all have differing opinions about what is, or is not funny)
I cannot stand that giggling hyena 5th Gear presenter that lets out ear piercing screams whenever she drives a car, so I have not watched this program for a number of years. each to their own and respect to those that enjoy watching 5th Gear.

agreed 100 %
I hate soaps, the jeremy kyle show or anything that resembles it and I'm not mad keen on football either, but I don't sit there moaning about it, I just don't watch
I have a real problem with people who try to influence what we do or see just because they find it offensive or distasteful,
my message to them would be to mind your own sodding business live your life and leave me to live mine
now back to Top Gear

Because 20% of it is quite good, it's just the lame challenges and the sad old men trying to be cool thats irritating.
Lots of people buy the Sun everyday, but I think that's rubbish too.
Perhaps it is just me...
