anyone see hamsters program on evel knievel earlier ? shocking to hear the first input from evel was "not feeling well got to go back to my residential home" not what you'd expect from an icon like him, altho he didn't look well and died 3 months later

I missed it hopefully there will be a repeat.

Is it just me or was Top Gear boring :?: Best bits were the cockometer and Mr's Stig swimming in the pool wearing a skid lid.

i agree getting a bit boring, and also just a vehicle for their own fun, just so happens to appeal to most males as they wish they could get away with it

I've been watching all the old episodes on Dave. The 2004/05 series were so much better than the last one.

I thought the series overall was OK, better than the last one. However yesterday was dull. The awards are rubbish just to fill some air time. Just blast fast cars around - thats fine by me.

The whole series was a bit of a fun fest, probably found that the demographics now include ladettes so some pandering to the market research going on.

And as for Kenievel i never liked the guy anyway, redneck Repuplican bible basher with a taste for the things he was telling everyone else to not do.

Evel Kneivel (aka richard cranium) cant fault the guys bravery in the things hedid but he doesnt come across as a nice guy and he was downwright uncooperative with Hammond who is a self confessed fan, and had gone to the trouble of making a documentary about him.
