Show four: the facts…

Posted by The Mole at 9:25 pm on Monday September 21, 2009

Usain Bolt on Top GearSo that’s show four done with then. Did you like it? Would you like it more if we told you one extra fact about each thing in it? No? Oh please yourselves, they’re coming anyway.

The man who told off Jeremy and Richard in the Focus RS v Megane R26.R film is Phil Churchward, our series director. Otherwise known as Mr Mean. Although probably best if you don’t call him that to his face.

Jeremy had several more burning Lamborghini photos for the news, but it went on so long they had to be cut out. Which, if you fancy a Gallardo, is a worry.

Check out what happened at rehearsals for show four

As ever with a Top Gear race, the extra shots of the car going by were picked up the next day once the battle with the Royal Mail – which was, as ever, run in real time – had finished.

Usain Bolt really is that cool. Yes, fast, athletic and rippling with laidback confidence. You’d hate him if he wasn’t so charming.

Yes, live ammo. Live.

And don’t forget to check back tomorrow for the exclusive video of the bits you missed on telly, or check out our rehearsals and live recording galleries for tonight’s show.

But first, what did you think of that?

    Well it would’ve been nice to see the whole episode, but obviosly seeing as how SBS have gotten into the habit of cutting as much out of episodes as they can, we couldn’t. Bummer. No Stig laps for the Focus RS and Megane, and no news either. Grrrrrrr……

    Yeah they should have a longer slot. Also did anyone else notice the sign on the north islands of the UK that said “Twatt”?

    Yes, more news, less adds. Who would win over 100m, Usain Bolt or the mighty Bugatti Veyron?

    i think i’ve only seen the stig do one lap this season and it was not even him. Here a tip SBS, because you love to have as many add as you can, have top gear run from 7:30 to 9, that mean we can see the whole show and you get 30 minutes to have all the adds you want, it a win, win

    robbo3747 i totally agree, SBS has a good thing the top gear and i fear that they will loose viewers to the interwebz if they dont start showing the WHOLE episode’s. Awesome show boys, although seeing the rest would be nice aswell!

    This is getting beyond a joke now. NO MORE AD’S!! And play the WHOLE SHOW!

    In your pics (Backstage Pass – Pic 4 of 10),you have this below the photo:-

    “And across the line… Richard and Jeremy read the voice-overs for the power laps. No, we’re not going to tell you which was fastest.”

    We didn’t see it, so you might aswell tell us.

    No News, no Time laps. SBS, your Killing it.

    Boycott SBS, watch the show on the net or on BBC Knowledge. Better still wait for the DVD series. i hate SBS, they are the new Channel 10

    Talk about not knowing what you’re missing until…..
    I missed last week and accidently watched last nights (in Aus)show on the web on the weekend. Boyoboy did they cut huge bits out! Never mind about no News, the Bolt interview was cut by about 10 minutes and I daresay there was bits snipped all over the place.
    I will add my vote for a longer show to make room for the ads (neccessary as someone has to pay the bills)so I can watch on my large TV and not a computer monitor at crappy resolution.

    i dunno about anyone else but i think the news is usually the best bit…. apart from challenges and powerlaps, oh and star in a reasonably priced car, actually, i thinks its all good and sbs should show it all! Basterds.

    You cant whach series 13 on BBC knowledge, and its really poor quality on the net, SBS cant show it without ads, so it will have to be 7:30-9

    Thankfully, I have a tame relative that copies each episode faithfully onto his computer, then sends me a DVD of them over once a month. That way I get to watch 3 hours solid, no ad’s and nothing edited out.
    Answer, befriend an IT literate POM.
