Default Top Gear - Season 19
Top Gear is back on Sunday 27th January!

I've just been pointed towards the preview over on the BBC site:

http://www.topgear.com/uk/photos/Top...ack-2013-01-03

It looks like this series includes Hammond in a Scoob...



...and a Scoob bonnet on a Volvo?!

Have to say I thought the India special was the worst special they have done.

I don't like the fact that the laughs seems more forced on the more recent series, but there have still been some decent features. Looking forward to seeing the GT86 and new Pagani!

Agreed. Thats why I liked watching the more recent fifth gears. They seemed to pack quite a few reviews into each programme.

just get over it....Top gear is no longer a car review show. I defo don't want my Sundays dominated by reviews of the latest Nissan or Toyota. Would much rather watch 3 blokes cocking about doing what we would all fancy a crack at if we had the time and money. Some of it is obviously better enjoyed if a fast car is included.

Agreed. It ceased to be a proper review show several years ago. It is still (nearly) worth the entire licence fee though!

And agreed!

OK, the India one was rubbish. But most of their travelling episodes have been a great laugh. Fifth Gear is a better motoring show, for sure. But Top Gears a much better entertaining programme!

I have to say that I've thought Top Gear USA has been a lot more consistent than the last few series of Top Gear UK. A lot of ideas obviously taken from older Top Gear UK series, but really entertaining to watch.

Top Gear Austraila is rubbish though!
