I howled with laughter when they did the slow motion crash test

I did like that bit

Very clever!

I think I'm getting old though....not enjoying it as much as previous series

I think maybe because it's soooo scripted and you can see most of the gags coming a mile off.

I was watching Dave yesterday and they were showing the episode where May & Hammond tried to launch a car into space. It ended up failing but was awesomely cool...I do half wish they'd go back to at least trying to do something semi-sensible.

I thought last nights episode was brilliant.Just seeing them going along with Hammond looking like the pope was well funny.Yes it's scripted but it's the nearest thing to a good comedy these days.

It always has been scripted really. But they're making it too obvious now.

I mean, "oh no, our car has broke down conveniently in this field

did someone remember to leave the hand brake on"

Oh no, look it hit a tree.

Honestly, not even an 8 year old would believe that really happened.

The pendulum test was incredible!

Rising number one of Formula 1, Juan - Juan, one wonders should Juan only win one Formula 1 one year, would Juan have won that one in round one, Juan??

I agree, some of the scripting is a bit too much now but I still find it by far the most entertaining thing on a Sunday evening.

And this, in particular, was brilliant.
