Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 I think they had some leftovers from last year's as well.We never got to see part two of the boys making their own petrol. I think I've read that's going to be aired somewhere this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg1138 3 Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 I wouldn't expect that until next season at the earliest....don't forget the stuff has got to have tim to grow! Although - depending on when the originally plante the stuff, it could be at the end of this season I guess....we will see! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg1138 3 Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Greg - still trying to find out where the version of "Going The Distance" (Conti) used in the Ice Dance sequence from the Winter Olympics is from.....You mean the music in the scene were Jeremy is (trying) to drive a Jaguar on a track made on a frozen lake? I want that cue badly!Okee dokee - found it!!!!!!!!!! This is a track by Deadly Avenger called We Took Pelham....Conti gets a credit......it's available on the EP "We Took Pelham" or the album "Deep Red"........SORTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This site is rather useful!!!!!Last night's episode - yeah, it was ok....not among the best - but ok.....the motorhome segment was great though!

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 No big race or transcontinental thrash, but some nice segments involving cars.I like the race between May and the crawling man, and It's always nice to hear Van Helsin in Top Gear. (I don't even associate it with that film anymore)Poor Jeremy, dying of bird flu! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 I sorely missed the trio going against each other. One of my least favorite episodes of Top Gear probably.Good find, btw, Greg!Honda Civic Type-R Review:05:08 - 05:42 - ?Michael Giacchino - Helluvacopter Chase Motorhome Sport Racing:57:04 - 57:29 - ?

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 I don't need to see a big challenge every week, Marc.Remember, Top Gear is supposed to be about cars. Greg...thank you mate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 I don't need to see a big challenge every week, Marc.Remember, Top Gear is supposed to be about cars. Of course I realize that, and I noted that to myself while I was watching.But in all fairness, the things that got me hooked on Top Gear were the stunts, the bickering of its hosts, the general big boys in nifty cars having a lark atmosphere.I'm not a car nut. I wouldn't know the first thing about a car and whether it's a good one or not. So Top Gear doesn't seem like a program I'd sit down for every week. Yet it's the crazy things they do and the chemistry between the show's hosts that keeps me coming back.Apart from the motorhome race, which was mostly Hammond with a bit of James May baking a pie thrown in, I sorely missed the elements I appreciate most about Top Gear.As an automobile magazine, last night's show was pretty good of course. It's just not the part of the show I enjoy most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet it's the crazy things they do and the chemistry between the show's hosts that keeps me coming back.I took notice of the show when they tried to destroy an old toyota hilux using fire, the sea and demolition materials (including a imploding towerblock), mixed with Morricone music.It was surreal, so i kept following the show and it has given me an appriciation of the automobile.the chemistry between the presenters is the icing on the cake.Last night ep was like many...many of those of earlier seasons, which i also like a lot.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Ah a cheap car challenge, i've missed those.Marc will be pleased.Nice one, admittedly the cobbled road challenge had been done before with a bowl of water instead of eggs, but the water challenge and the hand brake test were hilarious.Neat snippet of The Throne room, and a really nice use of The End Of An Aston Martin in the drag race between the DBS and the Vantage.

Greg1138 3 Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Not seen last night's yet....but though it worth mentioning that Hammond has sought counselling for his crash experience..................with none other than Evel Knievel...............In a documentary to be screened over Christmas, Hamond hares his crash experience with the daredevil, and will also talk about Knievel's career and misfortunes whilst doing idiotic fast things.....Should be interesting!

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Top Garden Ground Gear Force is a one off TV special, featuring the cast of BBC's Top Gear. The show will be a 'resurrection' of Ground Force for Sport Relief.Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond will take over an unnamed celebrity sportsman's garden to dispense advice on creating a zero-maintenance lawn, installing an impressive water-feature and getting rid of unwanted plants.It will be shown on BBC Two at 10pm on Friday March 14.

pixie_twinkle 48 Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Why on Earth isn't this show on DVD yet?Seriously. It's one of the most entertaining shows on TV at the moment. Has anyone heard if the show will be released by season? I'd buy it. Pretty sure Steef would too. There ya go! Two copies sold already! I wonder if the guest stars are being difficult about giving permission for the release. Come on Beeb. Deal with whatever legal/whatever reasons are preventing this show from being released and get this hilarious show on DVD where it belongs. It's like a middle-aged version of Jackass.

Hitch 57 Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 The banter between Clarkson, Hammond and May is as classic as the banter between Kirk, Spock and McCoy and is easily the best thing on BBC at the moment.

Greg1138 3 Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Yep - but as far as I know I have the complete versions of the last 4 seasons, and only a couple of episodes from the earlier ones are edited down....I don't like those Best Of's either - there's no substance to them and they seem to be just an excuse to remind people that the series exists....very watered down and as you say too much gtood stuff cut out....

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 A lot of the earlier seasons offered up for download are recorded from BBC Prime, who sometimes cut out bits that are no longer applicable, like phone votes for "Favorite Driving Song" or stuff like that, but they are essentially complete.BBC World edits episodes down to half an hour.The Dutch TV station Veronica not only edits episodes down so then can show commercials, but also pretty much all the good film music is replaced by generic drivel.I tried watching The Best Driving Road segment, a few weeks back but it was just too annoying. They even replaced the "Days Like These"from the (original) Italian Job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 2008, in an interview on BBC Radio 1's The Chris Moyles Show, Hammond and May confirmed that in Series 11 there will be a new "occasional regular host".[20] The series' executive producer, Andy Wilman, has also revealed that future programmes will have less time devoted to big challenges: "We've looked back at the last two or three runs and noticed that a programme can get swallowed up by one monster film — a bit like one of those Yes albums from the 70s where side one is just one track — so we're trying to calm down the prog-rock side. We'll inevitably still have big films, because it's the only way you can enjoy the three of them cocking about together, but they'll be shorter overall, and alongside we'll be inserting two- or three-minute punk songs."
