Sometimes I despair.

Is it the ambition of every guy to exhibit himself as a drooling sex-obsessed troglodyte? Come on, haven't you got wives or girlfriends, or are you Comic-Book Guy?

Keep the lechery to the Sexiest Actress thread, puhleese!

Now I know why I prefer the company of women.

Now that the days are drawing in and the garden has been put to bed and the car sits sleeping with its 400 horses in the garage, only coming out on nice days, I find it quite relaxing to tune into a channel called Dave which comes through that digi-boxy-thingie and they are running Top Gear virtually non-stop all day every day and that enables to you see again the Veyron, the Millau bridge, Dame Ellen's lap and . . . . well, you know all that stuff.

Default Humour?

Humour? Don't you find it rather strained, and stage-managed by people who have never managed a stage?

It reminds me of a bully boy boss taking two junior exec underlings on a team building exercise; paint balling, go-karting, outward bounding etc. and they feel obliged to fake enjoyment, laughter behind a grimace, and phoney camaraderie because motoring magazine journalists are ten a penny, whereas on mainstream TV they're fewer and far between, so woe betide May and Hammond if they don't keep Brassneck Clarkson feeling important and loved!

I'm not knocking other people enjoying the programme, some of it is very good, especially the scenery on trans-European trips, but I find that the studio banter and interchanges between presenters flows like the M6 near Manchester on August Bank Holiday Monday with long term roadworks, an overturned caravan or two, and half a dozen jack-knifed lorries blocking the lanes!

I don't know what program you're watching, Sammy.... but it ain't the 'Top Gear' I watch. The presenters I see are, Brunel Leghorn, Captain Slow and the Hamster... not to mention Stig of the Petrol Pump!

Give it another year or so and the truth will out, all will be revealed by the Top Gear Two.

Watching Genevieve at the moment - I wonder if Jeremy and the boys ever took part in the London to Brighton rally? Or is it too tame for them?
