I think it's a great show. It was fairly obvious (I thought, anyway), that they don't do a lot of off-roading. I found the Polar episode especially good, loved the vehicle (imagine paying 2 1/2 thousand pounds for ONE tyre - handmade, but still!).

A bit different from their usual luxury. Nearly killed myself laughing when the SAS bloke pushed Clarkson in the water. The look on Clarkson's face as he was trying to claw his way out of the water was a classic!

Must have been a daunting & quite extraordinary experience. It's good to see a bit of comedy thrown in too.

The reason that they are so popular is because of their laid back style, and the way they test drive the cars, they have brough back the humanistic, everyday average persons perspective of the tested cars.
I will not be too worried if I miss an episode from now on, more important things to do.
