They used to I think. Didn't they all (or at least Jeremy) have a time on the first car?
Yeah Jeremy had one for the original.

I did this on a real sheep once.
Ok, that cracked me up.

Way better than the last new car party they had. That was hilarious.
And I love the Astra, screw the haters. Wish it had been available in the US for more than a year.

Lotta respect for Warwick Davies there. If Life's Too Short hadn't already proved it, the man's a terrific sport. Perfectly respectable time, too.

There was an Astra a few years ago they reviewed and liked well enough.

Those crashes and the thing is still going?

first crash was a scrape, but that second one looked fairly brutal.

Those helicopter shots of the beach, man.
Top Gear still has the best photography in the world.

I remember one Astra they liked but it still had under-steer iirc and they still recommended something else. Was it a Renault instead? I can't remember
For years, this show has had some of the finest cinematography and camera work. The show is massively under-rated in this area. It is a beautiful show at times.

That is Jeremy there for you. Being stuck a mile away in a hole.
I liked the "Oh no, I've lost control of the car, gone off the road and down a hill and I don't know where the road is or where I'm going!", yet the camera car still managed to keep taking panning shots all around it, including lots of perfectly framed shots from the front.
There was also a lovely moment where he hit a bump and tore part of the bumper off the car, but it was magically re-attached for the rest of the segment until he reached the rental place.

James earned that one.
Great start to the series. That episode was a lot of fun.

Rachel Riley looking good as always.
Good fun start to the series.
Was the VXR Astra, they said get the Megane 225 instead.

I wonder how much flack they're going to catch for the Warwick Davies stuff tomorrow.
Wouldn't be a new series of Top Gear without some tarted-up controversy to go with it.

Back to the topic of song changes and licensing, I was bored and queued up the Vietnam Special on Netflix....
BBCA had to change "Born in the USA" for the backup bike song to a generic instumental National Anthem.
USA, can't use Born in the USA.

That's the most hilarious thing ever.

Anybody having trouble getting iplayer to work?
I just tested an older episode on there, and it streamed, but the latest one I just get an error message saying "this content doesn't appear to be working, try again later"

Great first episode. Really like the races, though I definitely prefer it when all three participate.
Next week sounds amazing.
Tonight (19.00) on BBC Three.
Hmmmm that's not how I remember it on netflix.

I seem to remember it being "Born in the USA" at one point as well, but not now.
I think Netflix has changed to the BBCA versions, and they used to air BBC originals. I also seem to remember them using the A-Team theme for "...and cued the music" and now it's some generic jingle.
