Top Gear (2002–2022)
10/10
10/10 the Clarkson era, 2/10 everything since.
27 April 2020
Seldom in the whole history of television has a tv show crashed & burned so catastrophically as Top Gear has in recent years. Until 2015 Top Gear was literally the greatest show on earth, and 350 million would tune in each week to follow the hilarious car based antics of Clarkson, Hammond and May, and the best on screen chemistry since the Marx Brothers or even Laurel & Hardy. Then came 'Punchgate', and since 2016 we've had to suffer the obnoxiously loud Chris Evans, the nice but dull Matt leBlanc, and most recently a Dirty Sanchez tribute act - as hard as they try, none will ever escape the gigantic shadow of the 'holy trinity'. Meanwhile Top Gear just staggers on like a punch-drunk ex World Champion who doesn't know when it's time to quit.
