    The first episode wasn't bad, but I'd have liked to see the lotus go around the track.

    Judging by what we saw in the teaser preview at the start of this episode, this season is going to rock.

    The whole Stig is Schumacher thing was pretty lame though

    I wonder if they'll start introducing every guest as the Stig.

    watched the new episode last night, I really wish it was available in HD!

    I also wondered about the health of those train operators, I would assume the coal isn't particularly good for their lungs.

    If you think that's bad, how do you think being down in the mines all day is/was. It was a good show though...

    I was just surprised because I was under the impression that the British government was very strict about workplace health policies.

    I saw two episodes of the second season before I left Australia, and it was a LOT better than the first season - though still inferior to the original obviously.

    The problem with the first season was that they said to the new hosts, you can play Clarkson, you can play Hammond, and you can play May. In the second season, James Morrison is a BIG improvement, and the other two are allowed to be themselves a bit more.

    Yeah, I thought they were just trying too hard to be like the original and not succeeding.
