So far, I am enjoying season 2 much better than seasons 1.

Episode 4 in particular was really good. I laughed uncontrollably when the real fire brigade showed up to deal with the grass fire.

Season 2 is absolutely brilliant so far. They found the old "Top Gear" spirit again, which did not make too many appearances in season 1.

The show gained a lot by all the stuff that has been removed again. I could do without "Celebrity Face-off" as well. It's not horrible, but the guests they had so far didn't really thrill me.

But all those epic moments certainly make up for that. Won't miss a single epsiode this season.

The awards episode nearly killed me, especially the continuity bit.

I remember that feeling from episode 1.

I personally thought the new series started off pretty weakly, which was understandable given the changes that had to be made, but episodes 3 & 4 have picked up a lot. It's refreshing to see a show admit they got some things wrong and change them for the better. Conversation Street (genuinely conceived because the BBC copyrighted the phrase "And now for the news", along with "And on that bombshell") is very good.

But the Hoff was on?!?

This is now a CivAv thread:

Even celebrity FOff is getting better, it seems.

The jokes about Hammond are glorious.
