I'm rewatching the episode where they do the radio show and it's still hilarious. I would've killed to listen to it when it went out live. Okay so they weren't exactly helpful but honestly all you grouchy Southern Counties people who called in to bitch, get a sense of humour. I don't listen to the radio because it bores me senseless; if trying something funny and different gets so many complaints, they'll never try anything new. A Top Gear radio show every week would be fantastic.
...Actually that's not a bad idea. Add it to the 'To-do When We Rule the World' list. I don't care if we have to give Clarkson the Nürburgring for as bribery.
