what's wrong with the sound? the in car bits have the music playing over it, and the studio bits echo

plus they keep cutting up segments. the show had plenty of proper length segments before, i don't know why they needed to cut them up so much.

They have to condense 58 minutes into 45.

Awwww they cut out the other cars being launched by the 747 and just blasted the little green one. I hope they show the bobsled vs evo clip in an upcoming episode. And one of those races across France, too - either the Aston or Ferrari one.

the ferrari won btw. sorry for spoiling the fun. that is what happens when they play shows that are one-year too late.
 
It's just not the same cut so short. There's not enough time to build the "shock and awe" factor. The show is geared to have enough time to do more in-depth reviews, so the handicap of commercials really hurts it. Still a fun watch, though 🙂

And some of the car sounds were timed wrong, ie he shifts and the revs don't go down 😛

This happens often though, in terms of british shows coming to the US, late.

Yeah, I've seen every episode up to series 6 episode 5 🙂
 
Did anyone else think the color was off. Sometimes there faces were to red. I think they should have left it widescreen. And the America jokes are one of the best parts.
 
they should nuke the celebrity segments, most of them suck (Damon Hill last week being a notable exception). If they also cut the Britain-traffic news I think that would get them really close to 45 minutes.
 
i can handle commercials. i can't handle editing and getting shown ancient stuff as though it was new. make it 1 and 1/2 hours with commericials and just show us the new ones, for christ sake.
