Yes, I agree, this years TV scheduling has clearly been put together by a total arse who thinks TV is bad for the nation's health and reckoned if it was all crap, maybe we'd get off our collective backsides and perhaps do something more creative?
On t'other hand - and I am not really the least bit environmentally friendly, which I think makes my point more valid - I think the crude destruction of the rainforesty bit by Clarkson & Co was just unnecessary and not really very funny at all. I really am starting to go off TG, and Clarkson really does need to grow up and stop acting like a stereotypical public schoolboy, for God's sake he must be in his mid-50s by now. He does occasionally say some very valid things, and also some very funny things but his credit-rating slips when he participates in guff like last night's episode.
Rant over. I think that Andy Wilman (who actually used to present on TG for a very short time) needs to do a bit of navel-gazing and perhaps re-invent the format, just like they did ooooh about 6 years ago when they ditched Tiff, Quentin and Vicki and started with the studio format. Don't get me wrong, TG is still streets ahead of Fifth Gear, Driven (RIP) and all that shite on satellite like Used Car Roadshow (feat. Driven reject Penny Mallory and TG evictee Jason "That Fat Bloke Down The Pub" Dawes) but just like in life, if you stand still, you stagnate.
