TOP GEAR

Top Gear The Best Show on Television No, I really Mean it this time

chose Season 2 Episode 9  to embed because it's the last one I watched.  It perfectly exemplifies what I find so wonderful about it.  Calling it a Brit version of MotorWeek would be, while accurate, deeply misleading.  TOP GEAR [Wiki profile]  is wonderful entertainment.  It does not matter a twit that season two was taped in 2002; the cars tested are principally British, French, German and Italian, with Ford getting some play. I would easily have accepted them as 2011 models, if it matters. If there is script for this show, it could have been written by Agent Bedhead; it's just that sassy and smart. Here's what recommends it  ... It's smart Vastly entertaining They speak understandable English There are currently 13 seasons (of 10 episodes each) in the can, so if you get hooked, as have I,  it's a big fat book. Yes, it's about cars, but the focus is on style and ride, not techie stuff. Tested vehicles are disparaged for being hairdresser's cars,  or plain boring. I've noted that the audience, which stands in the huge airplane hanger where the show is taped, seems to be split about evenly between blokes and birds.  IOW, women are likely to find it equally charming. Not once in the 9 episodes that I've so far watched,  was I offended, or pissed off  by anything.  I have been tickled to death constantly. Try it. Be Happy. PS - You'll soon find yourself saying "Jag-you-ar," and "Al-you-minium."
