Top Gear

I used to watch it every now and again, and as far as I could see, it wasn't really a programme about cars - the cars were incidental.  What the programme was really about was the sort of schoolboy fun relationship between the three presenters - what the characters in Last Of The Summer Wine might have been like some thirty years earlier.  And so I think the attempt to remake it was sort of doomed from the word go - bit like trying to remake Morecambe & Wise without Eric and Ernie.  It may well settle down in due course and find its own voice but it won't really be Top Gear in anything but name.
