TV Review – Top Gear (Season 13) – 3 Stars
It’s lucky that Top Gear started off as such a good show, because now that it’s getting a bit “samey”, it’s actually holding up well. Nothing was particularly different in season 13 (aside from a somewhat lacklustre faux-“revealing” of Michael Schumacher as The Stig in the first episode), but there were certainly highlights. Jay Leno is the pick of the guests, as he discusses his 150 cars, but just one wife. The challenges, on the other hand, start well (Clarkson shovelling coal in a replica ’49 steam train) but get more ridiculous and, unfortunately, more boring as the season progresses.
