New BBC Series always welcome.
Local Aussie spin-off was just embarrassing.
Jeremy can be silly and annoying but I guess that is part of his on-camera appeal.
Least favourite segment is the sometimes long and drawn out interviews with "celebrities" known only to the home audience.
I enjoy looking for new watches on the wrists of the presenters. All seem to have quite a collection.

Disappointing start of the season as far as I'm concerned. Hope it will get better.

We get it starting on Monday, oh wait that's tonight... or is it next week either way we get ours on a bit of a delay. The problem with the other versions of Top Gear (U.S. & AUS) you can't package the same skits and challenges with different people and expect to get the same results.

Jeremy is insufferable, but the other two are the perfect foil, and we don't care one lick about destroying a caravan in the states, we care about three Englishmen destroying a caravan. A comedian, a race car driver and an okie from muskogee wrecking a camper in the U.S. version isn't funny or entertaining...

I find the ones where they bash the old Junkers the most humorous.
