Wonder if the 9:00 watershed slot has anything to do with the complaints from earlier this year? http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/tv_and_radio/article6909661.ece
BBC2 & BBC HD any minute

Was brilliant. The 9pm watershed was something to do with XFactor or something. Its back on at 8pm next week according to the website.
Anyone know how far in advance they film the segments? I just saw Hammond with a camera crew with him in a van that said "Top Ar" on it. I couldn't see the rest cause his side door was open. Plus he waved at me. :D Only saw him though... God knows why they'd wanna film in Middlesbrough.

Gazette Live - News - Local News - Excitement moves into Teesside ahead of Top Gear visit (http://www.gazettelive.co.uk/news/teesside-news/2009/11/20/excitement-moves-into-teesside-ahead-of-top-gear-visit-84229-25213966/)
Turns out it's to do with an art exhibit to do with cars.

Just to let people know I was wrong (I got the info from Topgear Magazine) they must've decided to keep it on after watershed :)
I went and watched some more filming today. :D It was at an art gallery. They're doing exhibitions over the next few days. All 3 of them really are like they are on TV.

Cool :D
Brilliant idea to put it on after 9pm they can do what they want :)
Will miss having people complain though. I love it when they annoyed people.

Topgear is one of those shows, that can be so outrageous, but the BBC won't axe it because it gets the figures and cash in. TBH I think its the only decent programme that the BBC has (apart from Spooks :D)
Last night's was classic... Although, the "car" design could have been better :)
They wouldn't have got away with the symbol painted on Jezzer's cheek before 9pm :)
Very funny but very little of their stuff has anything to do with your average motorist :( Not many get throw a supercar sideways around an airfield.

No but thats kind of the point. fifth gear is now the geek/average motorists car show. topgear is just throwing cars around a track and having fun :) I watch both I have to say

Sunday's episode featured footage of presenter James May apparently flying an airship with a caravan beneath it across Britain.
The BBC is facing a new fakery row after it was revealed one of Top Gear's most spectacular stunts was 'set up'. I was laughing my head off and rolling on the floor thinking it was real. They sure had me fooled. (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1232622/Top-Gear-stunt-saw-airship-flying-airport-exposed-carefully-orchestrated-fake.html)

Anyone who thought it was real must of been kidding themselves. Did no one wonder why all the cameras were already set up there? You could totally tell it was set up.
maybe not entirely faked (http://www.edp24.co.uk/content/edp24/news/video/story.aspx?brand=EDPOnline&category=Video&itemid=NOED05%20Oct%202009%2015%3A02%3A41%3A300&tBrand=EDPOnline&tCategory=Video)
It was a change of scenery and location for May and the rest of the Top Gear crew who were in Cambridgeshire last month to film the segment for the show when the airship crash landed.
Strong winds blew the airship off course away from its cricket pitch destination into a farmer's field near the A428. Emergency services were on hand, but not needed following the crash from which May emerged unscathed.
How much are they gunna take the mick out of Middlesbrough?!?!
The Bolivian special was brilliant.
You have to admire Clarkson.
Q. How can I enrage environmentalists even more?
A. I know, i'll drive a Range Rover through a rainforest and start cutting down trees.
The Bolivian special was brilliant.
I'd like to know what the camera men were driving ?
Oh and health and safety and insurance companies must have been bricking it.
Loved the program.
:o)
It was probably a Range Rover that they normally use.

How close was Jeremy close to dying - about 46 minutes in, a white Toyota Landcruiser is waived to stop as he passes that cliff.
Now I know some of you will shout FAKE, but come on something can still go wrong with the stunt.
One thing that makes it look like a stunt is where all the cameras where for that section. It's the main problem Top Gear has when it comes to stunts.

The rain forest one was fantastic, the only one that was better imo was the caravanning one lol
This week's is absolutely brilliant. Better than it has been in a long while.
And the postmen of Sheperd's Bush are going to be busy with complaints from road safety campaigners :p:
That was an awesome speed in the Veyron 431kph (267.810984 mph).
Didn't Tom Cruise drive that car faster than the stig? (He equaled it)

Didn't Lewis say he was gonna drive with one hand - I didn't see him do it. I might have actually missed it if he did.

No he didn't do it. I liked Cruise & Cameron in the reasonably priced car :)
If you're looking to buy a car then the best thing to watch is fifth gear, but if you are wanting to see you're dream car driven then it's top gear.
