James May's dry wit is so funny. When JC got nicked for speeding in that
race, JM points out on the map "Currently Jeremy is here, talking to un
gendarme. Very shortly he'll be here in ....." - finger moves slowly across
the paper - "Le Bastille". Richard Hammond chokes on his coffee in the
background trying very hard to stifle a huge laugh

Poor Richard. Hammond. Hypnotised by Paul McKenna into completely
forgetting how to operate or drive a car - "Oh God, but it's my living...."

Top Gear has been one of the funniest shows for years

As for the camera work, I've a friend who films a lot of car commercials
who (occassionally) is inspired by the inventiveness of some of the angles
and colouration. I don't find it particularly distracting
