Top Gear was scripted. Clarkson was the main writer. Did you not watch it properly? You could guarantee when the cars would barge into each other on a road trip, for exampleI've seen him do interviews and such, and he isn't very funny without a script. I'm sure he can be funny during the bits and reviews, but the back-and-forth the real three have won't be there. That's why the US show sucks - they don't have it, either.
I like the US show. They tried to do things just like the original at first and it didn't really work well for them. So they changed things up and it's good. They just use a slightly different formula than the BBC show.That's why the US show sucks - they don't have it, either.
x2. It far from sucks and I enjoy itI like the US show. They tried to do things just like the original art first and it didn't really work well for them. So they changed things up and it's good. They just use a slightly different formula than the BBC show.
Like I said, captain comprehension, he'll be fine during the bits and reviews (aka scripted part) but he'll flounder in the natural back-and-forth, like when they crack jokes about each other at random.Top Gear was scripted.

Major Moron. It was all scripted.Like I said, captain comprehension, he'll be fine during the bits and reviews (aka scripted part) but he'll flounder in the natural back-and-forth, like when they crack jokes about each other at random.
OMG Fing relativesOMG Fing B
Right - when they're on a trip and May's car breaks down and they giggle and crack a joke between each other that off-the-cuff crack was scripted. The laughter they share at even the scripted jokes - I'm sure the script said "laugh genuinely" at that point. If it were 100% scripted they'd be the best actors in the history of television.Major Moron. It was all scripted.
You have naivety down to an art form
The only person that went "off script" in that show was the Stig
