Are you sure? Someone in the thread who was recently there said they weren't strategically placed there, they made the way to the front if they wanted to. Plus there were one or two 'not so stunning' people there too.
The other two seemed real but I wondered if he was a look-alike. He is such a bad actor that hard to tell even when he is playing himself!
I must admit I had to rub my eyes and ask someone else watching with me if it was really him!
Quite a good episode, enjoy the Kia bit and the three celebs, and the car rugby, although I agree it went on little too long. I thought the Mexican bit was pointless IMO as if it was recorded some time ago but were waiting for a spare 5 minute slot in an episode to shove it in.
The Vectra has never been a good car, just average, the Cavalier was better at its time.
I was once bemoaning how I alway seemed to find myself being held up behind Cavalier SRi's and someone said, what do you mean? They are great cars, I drive one. So I said, must be their drivers then.
It makes me smile, anybody who has driven any new cars recently will know that an astra, a focus, an A3 or a 3 series are all comparable and its just the badge that seems to make a real difference to people these days. Hence why Jeremy has.said previously said he'd buy the astra over an audi.
Possibly, possibly not, there is also the ridicule factor, which is important, especially from the younger car buyer. Not everyone 'gets' Clarkson some take him at face value.

Wonder what you were driving at that time :rolleyes:
I had a long career in Chemistry. Was is not elemental Sodium they stupidly added to water?
We use to keep Sodium metal, stored under liquid paraffin in a bottle and then had to be careful cutting up large pieces into very much smaller amounts to add to Ethyl Alcohol to make Sodium Ethoxide.

Another claim is that shorter people end up at the front. Statistically, females tend to be shorter. Also, the females on Top Gear probably tend to be relatively young (they don't seem to get chairs so OAPs would find it a long and tough session), and they tend to dress up nice when they know they might get on telly. So chances are, at least one or two will look good.

When I was a kid and that was a while ago - the late 80s, what made girls wet was doughnuts. And as there were such a tiny number of RWD LSD cars on the road, being able to doughnut was a rare, rare skill.
Top Gear openly admit to using women wranglers to get females to the front. They say it on the show.
Citation needed. Although, if it's something said on the show, don't bother. Not everything said on the show is true. Sometimes they say things for humorous effect.

E.g - seat 1A is goal (the race in episode 2 when Hammond won the ticket to the match). Also, 'we've just shown strong pornography before the watershed'
Random question, just been looking on Netflix at all the series. How come series 9 episode 1 is missing anyone know why, seems strange they've got all the other episodes starting from 7?

That's the one with Richard Hammond's crash, I don't remember ever seeing it repeated since it first aired, not even on Dave.
I'm not prudish, I just think it has got boring. They used to try harder to sneak something rude into the show, now they just draw a cock. Lazy.
Me neither but I do agree with you.....put whatever you like on at 9 but it seems like deliberately trying to put stuff in to see what they can get away with at 8:00....I don't have young children but even with my older ones I find it embarrassing ....
I've met jezza at a jag launch & he didn't swear or act like that at all & think it a shame as young kids do like it
The rugby was pointless but loved the Lewis Hamilton drive.

" Last of the Summer Wine "......with cars.
but with a prepubescent wiff of boys who have yet to have sex.
Every opportunity, get help
JC rather went off Ford after the GT40 episode!!
I don't think a career in chemistry is for you...
Especially with a family audience. At first it was, now it's getting tiresome. If they are so desperate they needn't make it so obvious
:rolleyes:
Drawing cocks etc is juvenile and stupid, which is why I find it funny and why I can's stand Holby city, Eastenders or Coronation Street.

Those were the days.:D
Same selection process I used to use in nighclubs
