British television basically wipes the floor with American television. The filmography in Top Gear is some of the best I have ever seen, same goes for their version of "The Apprentice". It's like watching a movie. It's also pretty ironic that some of our best rated shows, American Idol, America's Got Talent, and the Office are all British spin offs. Two of my all time favorite movies are also British, Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Shaun of the Dead. I will say that "Layer Cake" went a bit over my head. The accents were a little too thick.

You bring back memories with Fawlty Towers....I also watched alot of Mr. Bean and Desmonds. Also a Chef comedy show that I forgot the full name or was it just Chef? I much prefer the British version of shows as well but that could be that Im from a former british colony lol....Lock Stock was great too.
You cant take Clarkson seriously or else you will end up hating the man like Chubbs lol...Its entertainment with an automotive twist. Only thing of merit to the enthusiast is the Stigs segment. If you want real Automotive feedback look no further than Tiff Needell on Fifth Gear. That mans word is gospel. I think you guys will love his review on the Z.
