TOP GEAR Special (No 1 of 2) today! :dance:

- I'd actually forgotten :mmm:

Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May compare the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, Porsche 911 GT3 RS and Ferrari 458 Italia in an epic road trip up America's east coast. They undertake a series of challenges culminating in a race to find the fastest way into New York City, all in the name of crowning the world's greatest sports car. Plus, motor-related gear for Christmas and another Star in a Reasonably Priced Car

BBC2 8:00pm-9:15pm (1 hour 15 minutes)

Certainly not. After EastEnders it's the most watched show on the BBC.

It's not running out of ideas but they recently started to heavily script everything and it just became a little silly. I think they've acknowledged this (remember reading it in their blog) and it should hopefully be a bit more natural this series.

That was an excellent episode. The Yoga bit at the end just topped it off :rofl:

Anyone for some pussy? :awesome:

Something like the Vietnam episode, without star in a reasonably priced car etc.

Are you sure? Worldwide audience possibly, but not in the UK surely :beard:

Today was nice though, turned over for Danny Boyle but the road trip was great. Bring on the Middle East :sogood:

Top Gear averages 7m viewers per episode. Eastenders normally has around 8-9m. Strictly Come Dancing gets around 7-9m aswell. So it's around third.

The most recent episode figures aren't out yet although this weeks ratings wouldn't really be representative as a whole as we've had the strictly come dancing final and the apprentice final which has attracted a lot viewers.

I'm not sure what I'll expect of TG on Sunday. Yeah, it'll be funny, but I hope it doesn't bring out the complainers who go on how TG is such a waste/irresponsible :blah:
