Just watched episode 2 from Sunday night, got to the end and thought - what a waste of an hour. They spent 10 mins talking about cars and the rest was sh*te. Why on every episode do they think we want to watch them have some pointless and over the top race.

Like the race with the Taxi's, it was so fake and set-up. If they are gonna race at least race....not cars going through walls and cars through Limo's.

As for the Free runners again Trial bike....WTF...its a car show, it had Zero relevance. I think they have just run out of ideas and are just making up silly sh*t to do.

Dont get me wrong, I have loved the the entertaining things they have done over the 11 series, but  does anyone else think its getting a bit stupid now....at least spend 20-30 on cars stuff and maybe even review a car we might buy.

Seems Fifth Gear and some internet shows like Drive and Motor trend do a much better job....

Anyone else feel the same?

They've had 20 seasons now (well this is the 20th of the "new style" top gear).

Yes things can get repeated but even a sh*te top gear is better than no top gear. I know they will have some crackers for us this season. I don't mind the non-car related bits, the free running and bike thing I thought was really good actually.

The free running bit was so fake, they jumped through "glass"....why on earth would you do that? There was also a full camera track on every hall way, i bet it took them 5-7 hours to film a 10 min race..

So wonna see more about cars. I wish Mighty Car mods and other internet series got a huge budget like TopGear

Bit of a sh1t answer....I love the show and have for may years, nothing wrong with saying the quality is slipping or getting samey....

I agree, some Top Gear is better then no Top Gear....but that statement alone make me feel sad. I really used to look forward to Sunday nights....
