It was a tad surreal, and at times candid but also verging on predictable and indulgent I thought.

The Bernie interview had little interest to me, his opinions are now irrelevant, he doesn't run the sport anymore, thank the lord

On another note, is it just me or did they not make any mention of missing a week due to the golf? Usually they make a comment that they won't be on the following week.

I watched the Bernie interview, short and pointless? As Pete-p said, nothing new either.
 Last show in this series they said.

I note in the press that praise for Matt Le Blanc is high and I agree, I think the trio really work well together. As an aside, I overtook Jeremy Clarkson on the M4 last week. At first I didn't notice it was him, I'd slowed to look at a brand new, orange, Audi TT RS and he was driving. He looked over and me and I think he liked the S8! He was behind me for ages and then peeled off for the A34 at Newbury. Hello JC if you're reading this!
