michael Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 I forgot that it's not on this week but I've just seen an advert for the the week after and had a look on their website: There's no Top Gear on telly this coming Sunday, 'cos the snooker's on instead. Normally we'd be really, really unhappy about this, but the blow has been lessened by the news that next Sunday - December 23 - is Top Gear night on BBC Two. Starting at 7pm, we get James May: My Sister's Top Toys, in which Captain Slow tells his heart-wrenching childhood story of being stuck between two sisters, where he was forced to play with their poxy toys. The Spirograph and Fuzzy Felt are among the toy victims as James wreaks his vengeance, getting his own back on his childhood misery. He also blows up the tree house family. Then at 8pm we get the last Top Gear of the series, which sees the boys triple testing the new BMW M3 against a Merc C63 AMG and an Audi RS4, to find out which one handles the best and which one makes you look like a hair-gelled weasel. James takes out Jaguar's brand spanking XF, David 'Dr Who' Tennant is the star in a reasonably priced car, and the three of them turn a G-Wiz into a high-performance radio-controlled car. As if all of that wasn't enough, at 9pm we round out Top Gear night with Richard Hammond Meets Evel Knievel. The Hamster spent four days in the summer with his childhood hero, shortly before the legendary stuntman's death. So that's: James May: My Sister's Top Toys, 7pm, BBC Two Top Gear, 8pm, BBC Two Richard Hammond Meets Evel Knievel, 9pm, BBC Two And: http://www.bbc.co.uk/topgear/show/nextepisode3.shtml It seems Mr May races people from my old school in the show if my old local newspaper is to be believed: http://www.cravenherald.co.uk/search/display.var.1786421.0.pram_firm_inspires_top_gear_challenge.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conrad Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 I was hoping they'd test drive the Nissan GT-R this series, been looking forward to that for some time. Can't wait to see it on the track with Stig. The AMG should be awesome - loads of torque!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
