Top Gear: why we're mad about the boys

Top Gear isn't just a TV show: it's a phenomenon. With its ludicrous stunts, enormous budgets and defiantly non-PC edge, it's become a global smash hit. What is the secret to its success?

Top Gear has in fact taken over the world. It is now broadcast in more than 100 countries, claiming a global audience of 350 million. It is the most illegally downloaded show on the planet. Its format, which its makers describe as "crap men adventures with crap cars", has turned three shabby, middle-aged motoring journalists into global rock stars. This month not only sees a new series but a world tour, Top Gear Live, which will take the show to cities including Sydney, Cape Town, Hong Kong and Amsterdam.

Top Gear is not simply BBC2's highest rating programme; it is a phenomenon. Schoolboys and teenage girls flock to public appearances by its presenters, Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May. Even environmentally conscious viewers get guilty pleasure from its ludicrous stunts filmed with enormous budgets. And it's political: it kicks against what it sees as New Labour's nanny state (a Downing Street website poll demanding Clarkson become prime minister attracted nearly 50,000 signatures) and does everything in its power to provoke the politically correct sensibilities of the BBC. Barely a month passes without the show crashing into controversy, with rulings on its jokes about prostitutes and suicide, and accusations that it is sexist, environmentally reckless and glamorises speeding.

YES!!!!!!! :drive:

I thought it aired in like two weeks! This makes my night!

HELL YEA!!! I didnt know it was back this early either. Love it.

Best TV show EVER.

hopefully someone uploads it to streetfire.net i cant wait to watch it

Why not just download the torrent?

I've been downloading this all last night and it will finish up in an hour, just in time when I get out of class!

Watched it last night before bed. Judging by the first episode, some of the season 12 lunacy that was missing in season 13 has returned in season 14. Can't wait for next Sunday.

New episode airs here on Wednesday.

Hopefully we get to see the results of the ZR1 vs. R8 video! ;)

i love the show its so funny

the episodes that BBC America airs as "new" are actually couple of years old. They aren't showing the current season in the US. If you want to watch the currently season (14), you will have to download it or watch it on streetfire/etc.

Some one had a link to a website on here that hosted the episodes (not a torrent) can anyone dig it up?

Top Gear Rules!!!:hail:
I've been waiting for this since they showed clips of the ZR1 last season. I can not contain my excitement, just a few long hours more...!!!:headbang:

Thank you for ruining my afternoon. I can accomplish nothing knowing that I will be watching the long awaited ZR1 review in a matter of hours. Fuck. Thanks guys.

Well I could tell you now what the results are, but you might not like it(well part of it) so you'll just have to watch.

Yeah.. similar thing here. They are running last season... at least this week.

Just watched it. :D

Parts of that episode were so funny that I had to pause it because I couldn't breathe. Overall, I liked the episode. Can't wait for next week's.

I really hate how he back peddled on how much he loved the ZR-1. Kinda dumb..

just saw the video of the zr1 vs the r8 around top gear track. boy the zr1 is pretty frisky around the turns.

Only in Clarksons hands! he seemed to be going out of his way to make it look bad! eg another corvette that can't handle corners, he couldn't even do a proper burnout(in the US) while banging it off the limiter.

Note how composed it is when the Stig drives it though! Plus not mentioning the fact it was a wet track & by their reckoning could have gone as much as 2sec quicker, which would put it ahead of the GTR

DAMN!! Can't get it at work

I think if the world does come to an end in 2012 it'll probably be because this bunch of crazy idiots decide to smash 2 caravans together in the large hadron collider, instead of atoms.:)

Even though I'm not that much of a fan of lancia, I enjoyed the most recent episode.

I'm just confused how GM wasn't mentioned for the greatest cars ever... lol.

DAMN!! Can't get it at work

Link works fine here! unless it's one of those stupid things where they won't let you veiw it overseas

Sorry guys just found this in the help section:

Can I use BBC iPlayer outside the UK?

Rights agreements mean that BBC iPlayer television programmes are only available to users to download or stream (Click to Play) in the UK. However, we are aware of demand for an international version.

Most radio programmes are available outside the UK in addition to podcasts, although sporting and other programmes may be subject to rights agreements.

In addition, highlights from many of BBC News' programmes are available for viewers outside the UK, as is BBC Sport video content.

Do make sure you check for the latest updates on BBC iPlayer or contact your own country's broadcasters to find out if they offer a similar service to BBC iPlayer.

I tried opening it up but the damn firewalls have it blocked here at work. I have had it downloaded at home since Sunday night but haven't been able to watch the whole thing yet.

the new episode was great "we all know if you pull the E-brake your girlfriends cloths will fall off"

best show ever! I have every episode going back to the 80s and im not kidding! The last one where they drove a crappy little citroen( i think ) off the dock was funny as hell! I'm waiting patiently for this weeks to be uploaded to download any minute! They usually are uploaded around 3pm CST. So yeah if anyone wants any back episodes uploaded let me know and I can probably work something out.
