The show was funny before people realised the stunts and inter-presenter patter was completely scripted.
At what point do you think they realised?

Just now in my case. sad24:

 doh: Oh FFS! ~ I thought everyone knew that from show number one. Clarkson is a journalist not a mechanical expert. The Hampster was a circuit DJ and radio presenter before he was brought in to liven things up. James May is there for the totty to leer at 'cos he is posh and the fat b'st@rd who was the only one who knew anything about cars had to go because he showed the others up. Same as Quentin W. and Tiff N. who they got shot of  because they really know the motor game and it showed.
The current trio are presenters not experts. They are given the "Facts" by the researchers and learn their lines just like any other TV show hosts.

There, there.  happy100

What you need is a Magic Turnip to sharpen your senses up, so you don't get taken in again.

Don't tell the others but if you send me £25, I will do you a special deal.

Cash or Western Union is OK.

But does it really matter?  I still think it's funny.  redface: Probably because it isn't three dull car bores sitting around arguing about electrodes or gaskets or whatever.
