Are you serious Moggyyou mean the stig is not really an alien
well, that bits real OBVIOUSLY!!
I think that maybe the 'some people' you refer to are mostly bemoaning the fact that Top Gear USED to be mainly reality, now it is entertainment but poor entertainment, I don't find Jeremy being a pratt entertaining, more embarrassing.

New top gear was always just an entertainment show, 3 blokes having a laugh

Gav, I have to say I may well fall into the Frank camp on this one. WTF was that Peugeot thing about. I wasn't even sure if it was funny. It may have been, I just couldn't tell. Super cars no one can afford, great. Get that. Looking back at the history of Peugeot I got that. But the driving around crashing and catching fire? I missed something. So they make crap cars brilliantly. Errr, yes, and...
Nope. didn't get it.

I won't be saying "Je suis Clarkson" when he's dealt with by a Peugeot driver.

I caught up with this week's episode on iPlayer last night and whilst I enjoyed the show, I also didn't "get" the Peugeot feature.
Last and only Peugeot I personally ever owned was a 205 1.9 GTi in the early '90s - one of the best and certainly the most fun car I have ever had.
My parents and extended family have had 404 (saloon), 504 (3xsaloons and estate), 405 saloon and 406 saloon in the extended family over the years and they have all been good, if not very good. Though I must admit that we have not had a modern one..........seemed to have moved over to German or Japanese in the last 10 years or so.

They were certainly spot on in their description of Peugeots car history, anything they built in the 99-09 period has been fairly poor tbh. But I did find their antics tedious to say the least. I was ok with the 307 going on fire, but the constant crashing?? It was repetitive. I do still like the show, and was surprised that Olly Murs can drive! Intrigued by the standoff with the hybrid supercars too. Want to see who wins that.
More brain popcorn next week please!!

Chris I'm taking your advice and going for one of those up to date tape recorders, the type that has the picture on as well.
