BigMon Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 Agreed.I dont mind so much though, its the only car program that my wife rushes around to sit down and watch with me.Same here! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> I enjoyed the program and thought it was very funny but I'm sure that yokel thing was staged in that although I'm sure the woman said something, I think they cut it to make it look like something it wasn't. For example, a lynch mob just happened to conveniently be to hand and i doubt very much they'd abandon James May.It's when they try too hard for laughs it annoys me. It's funny enough not to have to do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philplop Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 I was a bit dubious at first, but I really think they just didn't expect it to get out of hand in the way it did. They can obviously still edit the footage they had to make it more dramatic though.A fair bit of it is staged, and most of it is scripted, but you can usually tell which bits weren't. They staged bits do seem to spoil it sometimes though, they're funny enough without having to go over the top, it makes you doubt some other parts that you thought were natural.

Joe Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 (edited) Anyone hear Radio 1 this morning.In a couple of weeks they have a competition to make a custom limo, and take celebs to the brits. Clarkson took Chris Moyles style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />Sounds like a good episode.I watched the US episode again last night, and I really don't think the Hill billy scene is staged. If you listen to the comments their saying as they scrub off the paint, they sound in quite a hurry to leave style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Edited February 15, 2007 by Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csi_bha Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 yep, exactly what I thought Joe, regarding that scene...I dont think the producers really thought it would be that serious... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cavey Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 (edited) No if it was wouldn't we all have a bbq atatched to our cars Edited February 15, 2007 by cavey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMon Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 I think you're kidding yourselves if you don't think they would selectively edit a program to make a situation look far worse than it was. I'm sure that woman did hand out some abuse, but as for the rest of it I am highly sceptical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure that woman did hand out some abuse, but as for the rest of it I am highly sceptical.I know and can tell when its been selectively edited - ie the cow incident, and many others on the other tg's when they have raced and stuff.But what tells me it was all genuine is the look on hammonds face when he has to jump start the caddilliac. That one moment convinces me its genuine as you cannot fake those expressions.Also, the whole garage bit was one rolling film, there was no cuts in there - and also, I just dont feel that they would fake something like that when its meant to be funny.
