Eh. The things that have caused 'controversy' on Top Gear in the past were just simple little quips, not a full 2 minute tirade against a whole nationality. I don't think they should be punished for it or anything, but I do think they took it a little bit too far. I'm fine with caustic jokes and the like but it felt a little uncomfortable to watch.

I'm a massive fan of Top gear and l have to say it my favorite episode was Top gear v The Germans

As far as l was concerned this was worth every penny of my extortionate TV licence fee!
I am baffled how - of all the awesome episodes - that can be your favorite...

Mine is most certainly either Botswana / Bolivia / any special
I do love the specials mate, I think they are awesome, but for me its the entrance of the 3 spitfires with the Battle of Britian sound track that gets the hairs on the back of my neck standing! Its just outstanding!

everything about top gear has screamed 'trying too hard' for about 3 series now

it just gets worse and worse. the writing gets shitter, the jokes get more contrived, the 'stunts' and set-ups are more blatant...

the three presenters each get further and further into a stupid parody of themselves and their tv 'personalities'

it's all just a bit pantomime now

i actually find it painful to watch now

it's like watching your drunken uncle try to make moves on the pretty young girls at a wedding reception

or having to put up with your dad's jokes at a family meal

There have been a few points in the shows history where its obviously scripted, and the presenters act like idiots just to get a few cheap laughs.
Example: Series 11, where they race across Japan. Hammond tries to pronounce Nokogiri Yama and gets stuck up on it for 10 seconds. But my guess would be that its aimed at the younger audience (read: 12 year olds) of TG, rather than the gearheads.

Needless to say, the show does still have a few good bits.
