Why did Clarkson burst into tears at the end of the last GT - I thought it was over!
Because he wanted to be a drama queen.
As I understand it they are going to be doing special shows tours etc, rather than the studio based stuff.
Could be wrong though.

Yes, they have stopped doing the live 'studio/tent' part of the show
Apparently (and I could be wrong) JC was finding this part of the programming, hard work
TGT now consistes of 3 or 4 'specials' type programmes each season

Specials only gets my vote. Nobody likes Conversation Street, etc.

Meanwhile, on "Quest" Fifth Gear quietly gets on with the business of providing a Car Show about cars...
Last Sunday's article about ceramic disks was a real eye-opener...

You're right, but, aren't the presenters bland!
Or is it just my son-in-law and me?

Some of us did
Be honest, it Idid get a bit silly, didn't it.
Like the segment they dropped from the 1st series, where the celebrity driver never got to to studio . . .once was fine, twice, daft, after that, just childishly stupid.
Fifth gear is the old TG format, from pre 2003
TG & TGT, both needed a serious format overhaul, they were samey and predictable.
At least TGT are giving change a try.

Fifth Gear presenters....
I reckon VBH is quite entertaining (and she can certainly drive) so long as she keeps the shrieking under control.
Jason is fine IMHO, but the Jason Smith irritates me with his cavalier attitude to engineering facts, especially as he insists on calling cast-iron brake disks steel (several times, so at least he's consistent). Karun Chandhok just looks like he's there to tick boxes.
Don't really know why they got rid of Tiff Nedell, despite being an archetypal "posh boy", he was very likeable, an ace driver, and endearingly opinionated. I'm assuming he got the chop because his fee was a bit too high for this budget-strapped production....
