Top Gear - S15 EP01 - 27th June, 2010 - Discussion

[vexor]

Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, James May and The Stig return for a new series of the top-rated BBC Two show.

In this first programme Jeremy asks why there aren't more three-wheeled cars in the world and investigates further with a closer look at the Eighties comedians' favourite, the Reliant Robin. Meanwhile, James gives Top Gear's favourite warhorse, the Toyota Hilux pick up, one final assignment as he attempts to drive one up an active volcano in Iceland; and The Stig rips up the track in the new Bentley Continental Supersports.

Richard gives the old Chevrolet Lacetti a dignified send-off before he and Clarkson host a star-studded tea party to welcome in a shiny new Reasonably Priced Car. Guests at the tea party include Bill Bailey, Amy Williams, Peter Jones, Nick Robinson, Al Murray, Louis Spence and Johnny Vaughan.

With that long off time i thought there'd be more. Oh well. I wonder what the new reasonably priced car will be

Watched it last night......definitely one of the more boring season starters of the recent series.

^^^ agreed, started pretty good with the bentley and the hilux, the news funny as always, and then it just went downhill with the reasonably priced car open and the robin

 

[5vz-fe]

I think next week and the 5000 dollar car challenge will be much better.

I thought the bently, the news, and the robin were good. Rest was sleepy. I couldnt stop laughing every time he rolled the car. "So I pulled over to talk to some enthusiasts" lol

 

[zeus_2011]

It was a bit of an advertisement for other BBC products/shows with that political editor and the bit at the end of the robin video...apart from that it seems like business as usual!

 

[paradizzy]

Im sorry I missed what he sayd about the Bentley, elephant with whos reflexes?

Watched it last night......definitely one of the more boring season starters of the recent series.
