Just watched the next episode. Awesome stuff, my favourite of the series so far.

Dahahah, May stuck in a box and Hammond's portable castle were amazing.

Only just caught the new episode since I had a nasty powercut last night.

Ah Top Gear, I really can't think of a better way to spend Sunday night. Or at least I wouldn't be able to if I didn't keep missing it, so I'm going to have to start watching it on iPlayer instead.
I've only seen episode 1 of the newest season so far but wow, I haven't laughed as much in the past year as I did at the entire Reliant Robin bit. :V

Just watched the episode that came out yesterday, and it's the last one of the series already :ohdear:

Silly Top Gear and their 6 episode long series. Now to wait another 6 months for the next one.

It's been pretty short for a Top Gear series even, most of them get 7 or 8 episodes at the least. What made it more disappointing is that TV Information had it listed as episode 6 of 7. :<

Yep, 6 episodes this season. Hopefully the next season will start in November like last year!

Huh, well that was short...

Apparently some group of investigative reporter douchebags figured out who The Stig was and unmasked him. So now he's been fired. There's a bunch of drama going on about it.
They identified him by digging through financial reports looking for who was selling driving services to the BBC, and found reports mentioning Top Gear.

Spoiler:

Rin Kagamine · « **Reply #42 on:** August 30, 2010, 03:43:28 AM »

It's a real clusterfuck, but it doesn't seem that he's been fired yet. Everyone seems to have a different story about what is going on.

Ben Collins was The Stig

YOU BITCHES FUCK SHIT
The mystery was the fun part, just why.... now we may never see the Stig again...
at least not the white one, maybe the black one might resurface.

I find it funny that it's a big deal now, since it's been fairly well-known for quite some time, just a wink-and-nod sort of thing.

Basically, after Hammond's crash before season 9, there was a report on the crash all the personnel who were on the track at the time, including The Stig, who was listed by his real name as the "Performance Driver" or something to that effect. Anyone that cared to read that document could have found out.

I hope they don't kill him off though, I like White Stig's outfit :<

♛ Apher-Forte · « **Reply #45 on:** August 31, 2010, 03:15:39 PM »

But I haven't caught that episode so yeah.
to us it is a surprise, consider how slow this show is rerunning here at our shores. (we are on season 5)

Rin Kagamine · « **Reply #46 on:** August 31, 2010, 03:22:20 PM »

They don''t cover it on the show of course, it was something that I came across during the last Stig identity kerfluffle last year.

Doomsday · « **Reply #47 on:** September 02, 2010, 04:06:17 PM »

I just caught this on the front of one of the newspapers. I was almost heartbroken.

Well, the old stig isn't coming back at least, but after the Black and White stigs, what colour would they use next?

"People seemed to have got used to me doing a stunt or slide brilliantly. If you do it right they look easy, but they're not. Yet Andy has since said I was the same as a Dalek or the Blue Peter dog. With respect to the Dalek operators, I don't think it's quite the same thing and I thought I could leave with more respect than that."
