'No one mentioned doughnuts'

[Mike N]

Westminster Council comments following the Top Gear shenanigans 'near' the cenotaph in London. What a load of crap and Chris Evans Evans' apology FFS!

It was a disgusting thing to do.

You try a stunt like that near a US war memorial and see how long you are in hospital.

Well done Evans for an appropriate and fulsome apology.

Let's just hope it wasn't all just planned for publicity.

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

But who gave permission in the first place to tear-arse up and down Whitehall in the first place! That strip of highway has umpteen monuments that shouldn't be treated in such a shabby manner!

 

[Tuearts right boot]

I doubt Evans had anything to do with it, it's just not his style.

They knew what they were doing and now have the extra publicity and a bit of controversy to start the new show with.

Evidently, this programme's production values are to remain as bullishly obnoxious as they were with the other three public-schoolboy clowns at the helm.

They knew what they were doing and now have the extra publicity and a bit of controversy to start the new show with.

If that's true it's a remarkable departure from the classy show it used to be.

As far as I'm aware they had full permission, having said that I'm outraged.

 

[stony]

I'm liking the supposed name for Clarksons new show. Apparently the trademark "Gear knobs" has been registered by his lawyers.

I must be missing something, they filmed a car driving in circles a bit near a memorial? Whats the recommended distance for driving in circles near memorials to cause non-outrage?
