Mind you there have been classic examples of fun in the programmes. For instance, Clarkson has always said that if you pull outside Christian Scott Thomas house in that type of car, you were either not trying or just showing off.
And when she came on she just loved the small cars. Not the fast cars that Clarkson had thought was great to pick up a celeb in, he got owned in total by being shown that he had no chance of pulling her. Class.
BTW, whatever has happened to the Top Gear dog?
