I watched from 20:15 to 20:45. Taycan lap was good. Had zero interest in the road trip so turned it off.

Was just thinking what a coincidence it was that I just learned about grilled guinea pigs on here recently and then it was featured on Top Gear!

So its moving to BBC1 too - seems like the new series is doing really well so its time for the inevitable move to the other channel.

Yeah I enjoyed this weeks too - Interesting that the Stig lap was included. I'm guessing Porsche insisted.
when the wheels came off paddy's car, I haven't laughed that much in ages.

The lack of external footage makes me agree with you.

Back in the day when we had less than a handful of channels and you had to get up off your arse to press the button to change from one to another - this might have been a factor in viewing numbers (assuming some people left their TV on some default “favourite” channel if they were idly watching), but in this day and age - does this proposal matter in any way, shape, or form whatsoever?

I guess the concern is that it will be dumbed down Even further?

It’s actually annoying because I know on Sky that BBC 2 HD is channel 102 but for some unknown reason BBC 1 on channel 101 is not HD and the HD channel is some crap like 143. WHY.

Because the BBC still can’t broadcast the regional stuff in HD, unlike ITV1.

I’m a massive fan of BBC2, and BBC1 just doesn’t cut it for me. So I for one will no longer watch this.

i think they realised it was about to go so set up the “safe” scenario to properly kill it. It was quite funny though!

As soon as I realised they were showing the lap, I said the kids “this must be good if they’re showing it”. Same lap time as the Veyron is very impressive.
