Yeah, the first series was great the second I've missed bar the last 15 minutes of the first episode.

Fonejacker is the best thing on telly at the moment.

Also like Top Gear when it's on. There's not much that I watch religiously.

Seems it's a go for Top Gear

Oh, and Peep Show. Ever so briefly - being a British series, it's a six episode run, "see you again in eighteen months".

British TV's crap. There, I've said it.

Peep show is brilliant.

The Wire and Deadwood in particular are the best of an excellent buch of American imports shown on digital/cable

Don't you Saffies and Aussies have your own car programmes?

Gawd. Didn't know ol' Jeremy was this popular around the globe.

Top Gear's good but it's not THAT good.

Swank.

I'm quite partial to a bit of Rick Stein's Food Heroes, River Cottage, Emmerdale, and anything on on Sky Sports 1, 2, 3 and Extra. Unless of course it's tennis, horse jumping or that 'extreme' sports ballocks.

Btw, am I bad person for thinking Fonejacker is a bunch of toss?

No! Not a bad person at all. Just a humourless d!ck'ed.

Phew, thanks for letting me off lightly.

Believe me I have got a sense of humour as my large collection of Jim Davidson and Bernard Manning CDs clearly shows.

We do but they're pretty lame. The UK is the best place in the world to access the fun stuff that they drive.

And they have the Stig.

Nice... though I'm more of a Roy "Chubby" Brown and Jethro type of bloke.

I love Top Gear too.
The three presenters work really well together. Can't wait to see what Jeremy Clarkson says about Richard Hammond's hair. He was on the Jonathon Ross show the other night and it looks like he's grown it and had it highlighted!
New series of Top Gear coming up in October, I think.
