    "that guy" didn't last long

    Watching season 1 is quite educating. Even though its the same "new format", you can see how far theyve come. The show looks like it was held together with sticky tape back then lol.

    And they even do some "normal reviews of normal cars"

    Yeah, I love Top Gear - but its not really designed to test your intelligence... like everyone else said, its been love or hate with the Z32, depending on what they are doing with it.

    As for the scripted parts - I think the best way of telling is by the reaction and how well its set up. For instance, I believe that most of the scene at the alabama petrol station last year was real, with the stone throwing, as the cameras weren't really set up for it.

    possibly the best episode to date

    Africa close 2nd

    I would actually say the Polla Special was the best... but thats in a league of it's own. More "documentary". Truley awsome TV.

    It also appears in..

    clarkson: hot metal, wheereby he compares all the zed cars ever made. they have a drag race and the Z32TT is 1st (by a massive margin), then 350z, then 240z, then Z32NA, and i stopped caring after that :D

    Just to confirm.. clarson does own a lamborghini gallardo spyder. He had a Ford GT.

    At least he cant say the 350 is faster in a straight line:cool:

    this episode really does show how stupid they are.

    It also shows how scripted and planned everything really is. I remmember once they won the award for "best Un-scripted Tv Show" or something, yet you can just tell how damn scripted this is.

    Yeah to a certain extent. Sometimes its ok, but i feel this episode was just really over the top.

    Its like watching WWF or WWE, just couldn't bare to watch it. Even i felt stupid watching it.

    Yep, I was exactly the same. Normally top gear is scripted a bit, but that was just ridiculous.
