Queen and Top Gear in weird merged moment

On the run up to a new series of Top Gear the more hardcore fans loitering on the Final Gear forums start to get a little bit strange, suffering from withdrawal and desperation. OK we’re not THAT bad, we do know it’s only a TV show but there are also only so many times you can watch the same shows over and over and over again.

 

Time to pay for premium content?

Jeremy Clarkson writes a column for The Sunday Times, in fact he writes two as he writes a motoring column and an opinion column, although the only real difference is a bit of a car info at the end of the motoring one.

Robert Llewellyn is also on Twitter (AKA Kryten) with something like 2000 followers and, killing time before [...]

 

FFS leave the BBC alone

OK so I’ve avoided the Sachs-venetian blind bollocks on the grounds that I don’t really care and think the whole thing has been blown completely out of all proportion. So two comedians, known for sailing close to the wind were left in a studio together to record a show they KNEW wasn’t going out live. They got themselves a little bit (ok a hell of a lot) over excited and [...]

 

This is disturbing...

There’s a show on BBC THREE called Coming of Age, if you live in the UK you can watch the most recent episode on iPlayer now. If you haven’t seen it then it’s a slightly odd (ok very odd) teen comedy set in aj sixth form college centered around a group of odd mates – think Skins but surreal, funny, off the wall and a 1970s style inuendo laced laughfest..
