Yeah it was Scotland :( bit more than 40 miles from London though
Sorry but if you are watching Top Gear for consumer advice that went out the window when the 1st version of Top gear was canceled, They had Noel Edmonds, Clarkson and a few of the old Tomorrows World presenters doing it. as iot was a serious consumer show back in the Day.
After it came back 10 years ago, the programme had moved away from consumer advice to just 3 blokes messing around in cars.
Even if it is staged, set up or planned its still entertaining TV, just don't expext any serious motoring news or reviews.
Top Gear is the Soccer AM of Car TV. Just watch it and enjoy it for the silly show it is.
Top Gear is still better than 5th Gear any day of the week for entertaiment, for a slightly more consumer oriantaited show 5th gear fills a hole, all the entertainmnt type stuff is just ripped of Top Gear, instead of a Star in a reasonably priced car they put a sportsman in a supercar.
