Premise of Top Gear:

A show aimed at men, with male banter a plenty, that can be watched by the rest of the family, and it features cars...... a bit.

Clarkeson says anything to get an audience smirking, especially when its not PC, and whilst he can thrash a car, he knows sweet FA as soon as the hood/bonnet goes up. The other guys are his Laurel and Hardy stooges. They have written motoring columns before and worked in related areas. But its sold primarily as 3 quintessential English duffers poncing around around in cars most will never be able to own, let alone drive. The cars are just a backdrop for the banter. Own up - can anyone actually remember anythig about any of the cars, expect when they've been trashed?

I quite like it, but great car show....it aint!
