    Eh it was scripted as hell, and Clarkson is a narcissistic tit. James May and Richard Hammond were the only ones worth watching

      I loved TG and I don’t see any point in pretending that I actually hated it because JC is a right-wing fuckwit. It was a great show with a very entertaining trio of presenters, it’s just that one of them is a complete tosser.

        I wouldn’t excuse the other two either. They’re more quiet about it, but it was their choice to quit and enable Clarkson to take the show somewhere else after he got fired for punching that guy

          I don’t fault them for that – they wielded limited power and appeal without Clarkson. May did arguably have his own small show after, but it wasnt the same Tour de Force

        yeah that’s true – it was fun to watch, I’ve just seen too many of its fans revere Clarksons antics as something to emulate

      I mean yeah it’s a reality show, of course it’s scripted, and you can actually watch the show while also laugh at that dumbass carbrain.
