Did anyone else find tonight's episode somewhat tasteless?

I am usually a very big fan but I think the mark was considerably overstepped somewhat tonight.

Got fed up with it ages ago Errol. What happened tonight? Well, as much as you can say of course! :-D

They made a film about sailing along a canal and accidentally going down a very dangerous weir

I wonder if fame has gone to their heads and they think they are invincible........ :-S

I think they are arrogant and pandered to by others to get a show, I wouldn't be happy if I ended up in the water or soaked while having a drink on the river bank, I don't care who,they are.

what about those people who were dining outside at a riverside restaurant - tablecloths ripped off, tables and chairs overturned and diners soaked to the skin!!! just because those three idiots were "driving" a hovervan down the river - pillocks

Errol

I am with Cynthia, and gave up on them ages ago,

and cannot believe how arrogant they became , or perhaps

they always were, and I never noticed

errol.. loving the shades......
:-D :-D

Thanks Kim Annette - however did you recognise me?

AnnCardiff et al - I think a lot of it may have been staged but nevertheless I think it was pretty tasteless given the tragic accident relatively recently regarding a young family and a weir.

men who've never grown up - pity innit!!!!!

But AnnCardiff - I've never grown up!

:(

I know - you're a ickle lamb :-D

taaaaa :)

It is entertainment. It makes money by pandering to the fantasies of big naughty boys.

It makes enough money to pay a few actors to live up to those silly fantasies.

Jeremy Clarkeson is probably a lay preacher in real life, and no doubt the other two do immeasurable good works in the community.

Star Wars and Downton Abbey are not real either.

I realise it is entertainment and did say in the OP that I am usually a fan but I do think that the "storyline" was somewhat tasteless this week and went a little too far.

Just because it is not real does not mean that they can do what they want.

The whole thing was an obvious set up, the man it the boat the restaurant diners etc.

About as convincing as an episode of Mr Bean, but it is simply entertainment like a lot of the trashy programmes on TV that I have in fact heard highly praised on here.

Each to his own, nobody makes anyone watch it so where is the harm?

Stopped watching it ages ago,the content has just got rediculous as have the Presenters.It used to be good then it turned into a very uncelubrious comedy,Pity really.**M**. :-( :-(

Nearly all fantasy can be a bit tasteless sometimes.

That guy in the boat was wearing a jacket. What better way to disguise a life jacket.

It would have been very tasteless if it had been entirely real but it succeeded in shocking and getting the programme remembered.

Especially for you Errol

Look where Top Gear are going next .......
