Have you only seen a couple of serieseses of Top Gear or something? There's no way that series was the best, not by a long shot.

I beg to differ. If you meet the man face to face he is the same in "real life" as he is on television. Clarkson is Clarkson, there is no "character".

Top gears I have loved;

Top Gear 60 years ago. Great to see Jeremy loose and get dirty to boot.

Crossing the channel - Funniest thing I've ever seen

Limos - that MGF of hamsters. Utter genius!

10K supercars - BOOM!

Bus racing at Lydden Hill

Car football - both times

Long live top gear!

The races have been some of the best. The one to Switerland being a highlight.

The race to vietnam was the best

I know there's some industrial-grade setups and editing in the races, but Clarkson's fall from his moped looked genuine enough!

I don't know what it is about that one. Perhaps because when I originally saw it I was exceptionally tired and just wanted to go to bed, or what. But it didn't grab me in the same was as the American one did -- which btw, was the best one!

I preferred the Vietnam one because it was somethign different and you felt it was more like 3 mates on a road trip. The US one was a setup start to finish, more than any other 'special' they've done.

Bring back William Woollard and Tony Mason..........and Top Gear RallyReport........ ;)

Oh and how could I forget;

"OLIVERRRRR!"

Also, The top gear boys re-tarmac a road and become farmers were brilliant.
