The last of the Top Gear specials to have any genuine entertainment merit was the polar expedition - those that have followed have been little more than exercises in lazy racial stereotyping, padded out with amusing and totally accidental "mishaps" that weren't at all staged for comic effect.

There's only so many times you can do Jeremy blows something up, James gets hopelessly lost and Richard doesn't like anything foreign before it runs its course.

That makes it sound like a poor man's Desperate Scousewives for self-oppressed middle-aged white men.

I found Stargazing quite fascinating to watch and I hope the BBC brig it back again , Coppers on C4 is another .

Thoroughly enjoyed first episode of Raymond Blanc's new series. I think it may have inspired me to give rabbit a bash. His kid didn't fook about despatcïng the one he cooked. His old lady was pretty chipper for 90, also.

Noel Fielding's Luxury Comedy - A work of genius or a bad acid trip? I am somewhere in between, big fan of Boosh, just taking some time to adjust to this offering without his partner in crime.

I watched ten minutes of the first episode before turning it off in disbelief that someone had actually allowed something like that onto the television. I quite like him on Buzzcocks, but I really don't get his 'comedy' programmes.
