Flying again on Weds - will watch the Colombia ones then.
Watched the first 3 of the latest series. Some of it seems a bit contrived, but when they have been going for so long (including the time on TG) it's hard to avoid contrived situations and / or repeating yourself.
As @stickyfiddle said it's still better than most of the stuff on TV.
I think that is sort of part of their image. They are going for the "don't care" sort of look.
Was impressed by the new car at the top of the leaderboard though. Must be special to beat that road-illegal Aston Martin.
Will Young's not happy.

And I can't blame him.Used to love TG and JC but they really need a rethink if TGT is to continue.Give us a show about cars without all the outdated, unnecessary 'humour'.
For all its faults and crap presenters,I actually prefer the new incarceration of Top Gear.
I predict a cancellation is on the cards very soon.
I don't think this was homophobia, crap humor based on stereotypes maybe but not hate ridden jokes.
Its a pity I really liked old Top Gear as A: I like cars but I don't car how they work and B: We need a few non-PC things around as they world is taking itself too seriously some things are just a JOKE!!!!
I'm looking forward to the new line up of top gear with Fready Flintoff... having listend to his podcast a lot (Flintoff, Savage and the pingpong guy) he's got the right mix of smarts and pulling the piss.
However... I think Matthew Syed keeps that show anchored. Freddie is still perfectly capable of going into twat mode and I fear that's what he'll be like on Top Gear.
