welshbairn Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 On 13/03/2022 at 17:52, Miguel Sanchez said: All of Top Gear is on iplayer, so I'm watching it from the beginning. Series 1, Episode 1: Jeremy drives a turquoise Citroen Berlingo and says it runs like a Jaguar, while Learn to Fly by Foo Fighters plays. There are about twenty people in the studio. Hammond is somehow dressed even more hideously than usual. Just to be pedantic, Top Gear started with Angela Rippon as main presenter in 1977, Clarkson joined 10 years later and the Episode 1 you probably saw was from 2002. Apart from that, carry on the good work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Sanchez Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Series 1 Episode 6: Jeremy has slipped in a Bridge on the River Kwai reference while an NSX does a hot lap. There's on-screen telemetry during laps which should have been kept - g-meter, speed, time, track map, it's great. Jeremy also just said "the Stig is going to kill himself one day" which is a lovely piece of foreshadowing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Sanchez Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Series 1 Episode 7: They're finding out what the fastest religion is. Jeremy's face when the Rabbi says he drives a Vectra should be a gif. The Buddhist looks a bit weird. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Sanchez Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 (edited) Series 1 Episode 10: The Bugatti Veyron has appeared in The News. The pictures look like the real car. 1000 horsepower is preposterous. Also the first mention from Jeremy of dried-on Weetabix, which the new RX-8's brakes will be made of.

Miguel Sanchez Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Series 2 Episode 1: Jason has lost a lot of weight and they're calling him James. And he needs a haircut. The Cool Wall really is the best thing that Top Gear ever did. Hammond is listening his top five most hated cars ever and the Peel P50 is at number 4 and Jeremy is having a giggle about it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Sanchez Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Jeremy called Churchill "a drunken Kurd murderer" because he beat Brunel to the title of the greatest Briton ever: 100 Greatest Britons - Wikipedia Murray Walker is driving and reviewing a McLaren F1. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Sanchez Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 Series 2 Episode 2: Jeremy did the "put a picture really high up on the Cool Wall so Hammond couldn't reach it" thing for the first time. Rimmer from Red Dwarf is extolling the virtues of the Jaguar E-Type. James said he wouldn't buy the new Rolls Royce because he looks at the lady on the bonnet and thinks of Jimmy Savile, a reference which probably means something different now compared to 2003. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Sanchez Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Series 2 Episode 4: Boris Johnson is the SIARPC. He looks exactly the same as he does now, except slightly less fat. His suit has a big stain on the shoulder. He's done a Greek mythology reference. Jeremy is reading out a review he wrote about a Maserati and he's just an absolute fucking moron. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Sanchez Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 (edited) Jeremy is driving the new Jaguar XJR through the Lake District while listening to Smack My Bitch Up by The Prodigy and eating an array of chocolate bars (including Fuse, which you don't get anymore). He has driven past Glasgow and the background music has added a fiddle. Edited March 30, 2022 by Miguel Sanchez 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Sanchez Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 (edited) Series 2 Episode 8: Jeremy is calling the upcoming ban on using mobile phones while driving "government interference," saying it suggests one-armed people can't drive safely and listing numerous other distractions that aren't banned such as talking to passengers, hayfever and needing the toilet.

Miguel Sanchez Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 Series 2 Episode 9: Graeme Le Saux is making his case for the Audi Quattro being the best car ever. I can't wait to see which car wins this poll tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Sanchez Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 (edited) Series 3 Episode 1: 92 grand for a Ford GT is a pretty good deal tbf James is scoffing at the introduction of the £1 Megabus because "they're taking the frills out of bus journeys." Apparently there was no lavatory on them, wonder when that changed. Edited April 5, 2022 by Miguel Sanchez 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James is doing a bit about buying a Ginster's Pasty being the most dangerous thing when driving because of how hot it is. You really could end this man's career with a compilation of things he said in the early days of this (of course you couldn't do this he since got more racist and attacked people because his dinner was cold and got a new deal the world isn't just) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Sanchez Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 Series 3 Episode 4: Jeremy has called Britain the worst country in the world because the DVLA is selling personalised number plates. 22 grand for VI4 GRA. Fair point imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
