I think we're all losing sight of what's important here - why aren't Clarkson et al. making a show about guns?

It could be called 'Top Guns'.






Just a working title.

Oh btw, who here saw the America special? It was gold, especially the part where they're driving around the deep-south with things like 'COUNTRY MUSIC SUCKS' and 'BUTT SEX' sprayed onto their vehicles with pink spray paint. New and exciting levels of awesome.

Clarkson did make a programme on guns. It was the greatest programme on guns.....in...the..wuuURLLLLD.

Seriously though it was pretty good one of the highlights being Clarkson setting fire to a field with a GPMG.

Ok some of it was stupid. Did they really have a slingshot? But that last show with the two action events was epic. I couldn't have done that, not by a country mile.

But it would have been fun to try!

Unfortunately that is the way Hollywood is, anytime an awesome show is made they have to do a remake of it. Honestly with the exception of the Matrix, I can't remember the last time Hollywood made a good movie that wasn't a remake or a

The thing that really got me about the remake was the dad's lover was the Same Guy wearing the same clothes, i mean how can you be filming this and not think "huh maybe it is a little too soon for a remake". That being said i havent actually seen the movie, if they added more to the story / different direction then i could see the remake being okay.

Yea, they used a friggin sling shot. The expert was holy bad ass with one though. The last episode was awesome though, I agree on that. Talk about a tense few minutes. My biggest gripe was how the teams voted on who was up for elimination. I didnt like that simply because that has squat to do with skill, and more I dont like this guy on a personal level. So that ruined it for me. Like that kid Kelly, he was a really good shooter, and was constantly being picked for elimination just because he was the youngest. Sure he FINALLY was booted due to just being out gunned, and thats how it should of been.

OT (how lame would I be to derail my own stuff eh?) uhm................. TopGear is great!

Can I be the annoying one to point out that the BBC and programmes made by them are British and not "English"? I do wish Americans in particular would learn the difference. We are not all English in the UK; the Scots, Welsh and Irish are not Englishmen. England is one large county among several that make up the British Isles, our collective name is the United Kingdom or Great Britain where British things come from. Equally something like Doctor Who is made in Wales and while being very accomplished it is a British programme, not a Welsh one and certainly not an English one.

Suffolk, where the Aliens roam.

Aye and to be fair on the Americans boyo, we've all spread out abit.

I'm Welsh living in a nice little English village in Suffolk, that used to mostly be a US air force base. I have a good mate who's a scot and another who is American but born in England, plus we're not the only ones who aren't English here in the village.

It can get a little confusing.

Why is it 'trolling' just to point out something which is factually correct? It's as simple as pointing out you shouldn't call a Canadian "American" because you all live in North America. It's a matter of courtesy to get people's nationalities correct and if you're resistant to that concept then you risk living up to the stereotype promoting in this picture...

In our defense, if Ireland and Scotland and Wales were real countries they'd be separate countries with armies and sports and languages and good food. Thats clearly not the case

Ok so Wales has a sport but when are you going to show me Scotland and Ireland's sport. Reminder I said sport, not outing.
Next you'll be telling me they have their own economies or some other such nonsense.
