I still don’t understand why they spent so much time scripting everything when the improvised stuff was so much better. I’d love it if they just came back with some low budget special where they try to drive some £50 car from Glasgow to Basingstoke.

Thwy made a episode about it. Because they have no idea where to go, and it would be boring as hell.

Hate to break it to you, all those Top Gear episodes were scripted.

“In the next scene, the rocket car explodes and drags Hammond on his head for hundreds of yards.”

“Hang on a minute!”

Well it speaks to the flaws in TGT that it "feels" more scripted.
