Agreed I'd recorded it so I was able to skip that bit.

It was quite odd really and I don't think it added any content to the show. It's not like Bernie was saying anything new.

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 agree with comments from all, a highly edited and pointless element of the show, very self serving for Bernie but what else should we expect.

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!

I agree too, think the new programme has come on leaps and bounds but always thought it would

You can't have too many cars on the TV, but still won't be paying for Amazon for the other lot, Hammond gets right up my nose the little twerp

Car SOS this series is a winner too
