The new model of the ‘reasonably priced car’ has been out for a few months now, so Top Gear has had to upgrade. That meant testing it first. And to do that, they got a few celebrities to help out, including Matt LeBlanc, Eric Clapton and Bruce Willis. Watch the whole thing though, particularly the bit aimed at salesmen having to carry around sodium and eels, since it’s the funniest thing you’ll see this week.
This, actually, is amazing though. It’s like Knight Rider.
I’m Rob Buckley, a journalist who writes for UK media magazines that most people have never heard of although you might have heard me on the podcast Lockdown Land or Radio 5 Live’s Saturday Edition or Afternoon Edition. I’ve edited Dreamwatch, Sprocket and Cambridge Film Festival Daily; been technical editor for TV producers magazine Televisual; reviewed films for the short-lived newspaper Cambridge Insider; written features for the even shorter-lived newspaper Soho Independent; and was regularly sarcastic about television on the blink-and-you-missed-it “web site for urban hedonists” The Tribe. Since going freelance, I've contributed to the likes of Broadcast, Total Content + Media, Action TV, Off The Telly, Action Network, TV Scoop and The Custard TV.
