Stuart Heritage, writing for the Guardian online, rightly says you could watch a Top Gear series in a medium-length toilet break. When the trio aren't being rude about the Mexicans they are quite brilliant, James May is a very good broadcaster (he got an honorary degree from Lancaster University last June for contributions to TV), Jeremy Clarkson is an all round interesting person with interesting things to say, Hammond needs to watch his language and get a hair cut if he wants to 'wow' us again like he did several years ago.
I'm not saying the show is dying, just that you can predict every show: 15 minutes car comparison, 15 minutes car test, 15 minute interview, 15 minute other vehicle-related test. Not boring, just not what it used to be...
PS. I am not at all slamming Richard Hammond, he adds a perspective to the team which is younger and more exciting than the other two, his presence is invaluable to the trio. I just think he needs to revamp the way he comes across on camera.
