So, good afternoon, dear users of SG 🙂 On this page I want to briefly talk about why Top Gear should at least try to see even those who, in fact, do not like. This text is only my opinion, as far as it will be true – to solve only to me, because it is exclusively my opinion. Many will probably not agree with me – but this will be their opinion, do not believe it – but it is also true. And yes, I do not know how much this text will turn out, but I hope to paint more or less briefly and neatly, but it is clear and interesting. So, let’s get down.
And we will start from afar. Namely – from such a thing as "English humor". Wikipedia does not know about him, and it doesn’t matter this. Surely many have heard this phrase. Personally, I heard about him for a long time, I never went into details, but I always liked it, although I met with humor only in some jokes. But at the moment I can say that they can joke, often this is actually a thin and, so to speak, gentleman’s humor. It is felt in television series, films and English -made programs. For example, in the television series “Doctor Who”, funny and funny dialogs and monologues are often found:
-I am a doctor, now I work in a store, I’m ready to help! I was given a badge with a name if I suddenly forget who I am, which is very caring, because this has already happened.
Doctor: So. Damn it! It was strange. Hi all.
Runi: Who are you? Where is Clyde?
Doctor: Well, Wound, turn on the brains! Claid and I have changed places. I am where he was, and he was where I was. And it means that now … He has big problems.
The notorious Mr. Bean is also recalled:
Building is prohibited, but this is the best quality that I found 🙂
And from the films both parts of “Agent Johnny Inglish” and “Odnoklassniki” come to mind, again – two parts:
I don’t remember exactly about classmates, I looked for a long time, but there is definitely humor there 🙂
(There was a Flash player, but since 2020, Flash has not been supported by browsers)
And with such a leisurely pace, we got to the topic of this topic – Top Gear. For such an introduction, it is probably clear that in this program I appreciate the humor. But let’s in order.
Top Gear (Rus. Higher program) – Popular British TV show dedicated to cars. The first issues of the program were released in 1977. It was a transmission in the format of a television journal, which has not changed for a long time. In 2002, the cycle restart occurred, which appeared modern “Top Gear” – with humor and branded tests.
Top Gear – television programs about cars, is actually logical that only motorists should love it. Yes – you are right. And no – you are wrong. You see, this program is not only a cognitive, but also an entertaining nature, with a rather large share of humor. It can watch both motorists and people indifferent to this type of transport. But there are a couple of nuances, namely, the issues can be divided into several categories, by and large – two: two:
1). The presenters talk about cars, test them, show pre -shot stories, discuss the news. Of course, everything with jokes and watch it is interesting and exciting, but … quickly bothers. If you look at the way they are shown on TV, then there is no problem, everything is fine, fun, funny, jokes, the information is interesting. But if you sit down and start watching, for example, a whole season, it soon bothers, because everything goes about one plan: they show the car, then discussing the news, then the second plot about the car, followed by a star in a budget car, and finally – another story about cars. For those who are indifferent to cars, they quickly get tired, I don’t know about the rest.
2). The second category includes those series where something else happens, replacing something from the usual transmission content, or the first category is completely absent.
Here in the second category I would like to stop in more detail. I won’t dwell on the presenters for a long time, I will only say that Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond, as well as a “tamed racer” Stig lead Top Gear. Although not, I will stop in more detail on the style. Stig pleases with his professional and indifference, he is also extremely tenacious ..
This is nothing, in one of the issues after the explosion of his car, he calmly comes out of it and goes somewhere. I can’t find this moment 🙁
The first Stig dived from the aircraft carrier at all:
He also has relatives of O_O for example:
In some issues, he is given an unusual task for him, for example:
From here you can start about humor in Top Gear. In this series, a car, a bicycle, a boat and public transport competed – at what type of transport you can get the fastest to any point on the territory of the city, in this case, in London, the final stop is the airport. Such a dialogue turned around after the car came the last (I’m sorry for the spoiler, this is not the main thing in such releases Top Gear):
-I can say that it confuses me? You lost four minutes with a police officer ..
-Yes…
-… And when you watch the film, it seems that the car arrived fifteen minutes later than everyone else, but I remember well: when I arrived at the airport, James was there for quite some time.
-Yes, for sure! He was there! And I also remember that my boat exploded and I died! But this, unfortunately, is not clear when you watch the movie.
-Failed to convey ..
-It’s good that you talked about this, I remember exactly how Hammond, stuck in some kind of fence, rushed past.
-Yes, this happened to me.
-And yet, you know? There is no river in London, so I could not use the boat. So, Top Gir once again confirmed that it was not for nothing that he received the award as the best documentary. Contrary to what you saw in the stupid and in misleading the film, the car turned out to be the fastest!
-Yes.
-And the best!
-And next week we will provide you with new undeniable facts!
But let’s return to https://gambliicasino.uk/ the second category of the series, which I allocated somewhere there, just above these lines. But now more. There are several types of tasks in the program that I especially remember (which I saw and did not forget, it means they are interesting, aren’t they so?):
Firstly, This is a competition between ". "and a machine. As in the video above it has already been shown, there is not one type of transport, but several at once. But usually – a car against something one. And these competitions are unfolding in such a way that Jeremy Clarkson gets into some kind of car and goes to a certain place (often in another country), when, like Richard Hammond and James May, they use public transport: trains, airplanes, buses … But sometimes the car competes with something else, passing at a speed of a certain and shorter track. For example, a race with a fighter, a parkour, skiers, a bobslain team, and with CJ on Jetpak Flying with the help of a reactive installation (or how it is there) a person … There were even a series where the military hunt for a car, well, there was a series where they hunted … ahem … hunters. On horses, with dogs, everything is as it should be 🙂 Watch it all is extremely exciting and interesting)
Secondly – Calling the host, competition. It consists in the fact that someone (leading Top Gear adaptations from other countries, the pros of their business, etc.p., and t.D.) they say that they say “and let’s check who is cooler and who it will be better to do … (something – insert the right one)”, and the presenters, of course, agree. Sometimes such a challenge is made by athletes for the speed of passing the route against the car, but I already described this above, so we miss. It is much more interesting when a team of professionals offers, who is faster … ahem … will destroy several buildings:
Or when some Top Gear Australia or Top Gear Germany decide to compete with British prophetors who do not mind a little to be frozen)
As a result, we get a lot of fun and positive)
Third. I’ll probably put the entertainment plots here, well, or which have become such because of the work style of the hosts. For example – a game of cars in ..
And also – the presenters are repairing the road ..
Well, now – favorite types of releases Top Gear.
Fourth point: The host is given a limited amount of money (from about 1000-1500 pounds, judging by Google-this is about 88 thousand rubles) and the task is to buy a car. Of course, there is not enough money for a new money, so they take a supported car. Then they meet in a certain place, laugh at each other’s choice (less often – they praise … much less often), and then they are given tasks (get there, do it), when performing which they receive glasses. Who has more points – he not only won, but also has the right to consider that he chose and bought a car much better than the rest. And t.To. These cars – old, supported and unknown who are used – problems can arise during the usual arrival on the road, what can we say about tests when the car can be careful for comfort, assembly quality and reliability ..
For each glasses received, their money returned to them, because the cars were bought at the expense of the leading ..
Constant breakdowns, jokes, the realization that the purchased car is terrible, the cooperation of two against others, as well as the opportunity to observe how their cars sometimes fall apart – all this gives a sea of positive and sincere pleasure from watching these issues)
But that’s not all. The fact is that sometimes the task is not only to buy a car, but also to collect something from it:
The problem of these issues is that sometimes history is interrupted for another plot: about some kind of car or to put a star in a budget car. This problem was deprived of the last, fifth point.
So, Point number five – Special issues. Some of them are very similar to issues from the previous point, but not all, and they are whole, without other plots. These issues are aimed at one single plot, but I especially like two plots – in Africa. The first description is this: “Survival in Africa. Cross Botswan and not die, ”in the second -“ Jeremy, James and Richard go to Central Africa to the source of the Nile River. During this trip, they use cars in the cub of the station wagon ". The second is also divided into two parts. There are several special issues, including:
There is also a release about Armaggedon, Winter Olympic Games, Vietnam and others. Everything is about the same as in paragraph number four, but here the competitive process between the leaders is reduced, because they go to the same goal. But this does not prevent them from speaking between the matter, and just to get fun of each other 🙂 besides, in some issues they are not limited in means of choosing a car)
I also want to note that in one of the issues they fell into a serious problem, to get out of which they were just lucky. The fact is that they were traveling in America, drove into Alabama (as one of the presenters remarked – they even shot their own sign). And here they were given the task – they say to paint each other’s cars, so that they, to put it mildly, noticed the inhabitants of this region. Well, they painted – offending a lot of what they love. Here they were chasing them)
And yet – Richard Hammond fell into a serious accident on Top Gear:
In September 2006, on the set of the next episode, the television show was in a car accident. According to the scenario of the show, Hammond conducted a test of a Vampire reactive traction, which is theoretically able to move at a speed of 311 miles/h (500 km/h). On September 20, his car at a speed of 322 miles/h (518 km/h) flew off the runway, turned over and flew a considerable distance on the lawn. The cause of the accident – the front right tire could not withstand speed and exploded.
Well, yet, finally: there were rumors about the unbeatability of some models (or all, I don’t remember for sure) Toyota Hilux pickup. They decided to check this – as a result, within a few issues they systematically destroyed the car, we look:
Yes! The car started after that! And to pay tribute to this machine, it is at the future in the studio where Top Gear is removed – like an exhibit:
You probably need to summarize, make some kind of conclusion … Well … let’s say, such releases of Top Gear are like Friday (and others too) streams on SG: you look, regardless of whether you like the game shown or not, you are mostly interesting, but the dialogue players, comments, communication, jokes, jokes, real emotions … This is precisely what is precisely what is precisely what is interesting. The same thing is in Top Gear-you look because of the leaders how they behave, what they do, how they end up with each other-this is interesting, and not what kind of car is the fastest (although it was also interesting, but not so: D)
For the convenience of finding the desired series, I advise you to use the list of the Top Gear series on Wikipedia
Well, in the end I found such a video:
Update from: 04.07.2015. "End of the era"
Hello again. I did not think that I would update this topic, but still there are events that not everyone knows about. But all those who are somehow interested in this program, I think it will be interesting to know what happened and where everything goes.
In March 2015, Clarkson was removed from the broadcast by the leadership of the BBC television organization for a brawl with a producer, showing the finished issues of Top Gear canceled [15] [16] [16] [16]. According to The Guardian, the cancellation of Top Gear due to the incident with Clarkson led to a decrease in the BBC audience: the program attracted more than 5 million spectators or 19.5 % of the total number of television and radio corporations.
In March, it was noticed that after 7 episode there were no 8, although there should be 10 issues in the season (if I’m not mistaken), In the comments, a living discussion of what happened was noticed, from which different versions of what happened and what would happen. The main version was that the producer did not provide a food team after a long -shooting day, and Clarkson, apparently from anger, attacked him. But confirmation or refutation of this information, as far as I know, did not follow.
The scandalous TV presenter Top Gear Jeremy Clarkson hit the producer of the show after he was left without dinner. Having finished the late shooting of the episode, the Englishman was furious after he realized that they would not bring hot food to the site.
The internal investigation of the incident began, the result of which is the dismissal of Jeremy Clarkson:
On March 25, 2015, the BBC officially announced the dismissal of Jeremy Clarkson, and the rest of the TV presenters (Richard Hammond, James May) also left after him). At the moment, the most famous Top Gear automobile television show has stopped their work, and although the presenters went to a long-planned world tour-so as not to disappoint fans, the BBC brand is no longer on it.
Also, apparently, producer Andy Wilman, who worked on Top Gear from the very first season, left the program.
And everything is silence, the topic was closed, everyone digested information. I really hoped that they would release at least what they already removed so that these personnel were not lost. And now going there yesterday I realized that it was updated – the 8th episode was added, judging by the dates – the first day of this month. This issue is what I hoped for – these are two plots of two issues (In the usual Top Gear format, they would not fit in one episode) In the best traditions Top Gear, t.e. Very interesting, insanely funny and with excellent study. The only thing that is missing for such a farewell release – Jeremy Clarkson himself in the studio, could come up with something, so that in the last issue the team was in full training, but not. One way or another-the release is required to watch, I got a lot of pleasure and laughed very much in some places, while there are no news, invited stars and other rubrics that do not always look with the same interest as such stories “Buy supported cars and go there”.
So – all three presenters left Top Gear, this is the end of the era. But Top Gear is not finished, one of the future leading is already approved, this is Chris Evans.
In early June 2015, it became known about one of the three new leading. He became a radio host of the popular morning show on BBC 2 Radio Chris Evans.
In June 2015, the BBC Corporation announced that Chris Evans will become the new host of the Top Gear automobile show. Evans signed a contract for three years.
The journalist will replace Jeremy Clarkson, who was fired after a brawl with a producer in March 2015. The new season with a new transfer format is scheduled for 2016. Filming is scheduled for the summer of 2015.
I don’t know anything about him, so I can’t say that I will not.
For me personally, Top Gear was held, so to speak, on three pillars:
1). Leading (in fact, Clarkson, May and Hammond);
2). Humor (the work of leading and screenwriters, I think so);
3). Visual component (directorial and operator work, as well as installation with correctly selected musical accompaniment).
At the moment, the first pillar collapsed, the second remains in limbo, and only in the third I am 100% sure – BBC can shoot. So now it all depends on how the new presenters show themselves and whether they can create something really good together with the scriptwriters. If they do not stretch, then all this will be perceived as if it are a regional Top Gear, on the likeness of the Top Gear USA, which I tried to watch and immediately stopped. Let’s hope for the best, but still the situation is not pleasant.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________. I do not always like their solutions, but it was in this situation that they acted correctly. Whatever the reason, but Clarkson violated the company’s rules, arranged a fight, and even if possible BBC and killed Top Gear, but they acted correctly. This, we can say, is a “indicative execution”, because probably not only fans of the program followed this situation, but in general all the employees of this television channel, because Clarkson is a very popular TV presenter, and even if he was fired for misconduct, they can do the same with any, there will be no problems ala “Why wasn’t he fired, but for the same thing – you are firing? Where is justice?!" __________________________________________________________________________________________
Well, yes, Clarkson, May and Hammond will not be lost, news has already appeared about their new program, though I am not sure how true they are:
Lenta.ru
Jeremy Clarkson and his Top Gear colleagues James May and Richard Hammond, together with producer Andy Wilman, who left the BBC, followed by the Netflix’s largest streaming resource about the release of the new House of Cars (by analogy with the famous seriesHouse of Cards, "Card of the House"). About this writes The Daily Mirror with reference to an unnamed source.
According to the source, Clarkson, Hammond and May recently conducted negotiations on the release of a car show on the British ITV channel. However, the presenters did not suit the leading that, due to their sharp statements, the channel may have problems with advertisers from the auto industry. Therefore, the creators of House of Cars found Netflix, making it solely on a subscription, a more suitable option.
In mid -April, Clarkson promised to create an analogue of Top Gear in a column for The Sunday Times.
“I have lost one child, but I will create a new. I can no longer sit still and put my albums in order with photographs, ”he explained. How the new project will look and where he will go out, the host at that time did not know.
Well, we are waiting 🙂 It is possible that the Top Gear itself will rise from the ashes with new leaders, and if you have a new program from Clarkson, May and Hammond, we will have two really cool programs about cars 🙂
