Okay, you lot:

All those who are kind of scandalised by the depths of their own love for Top Gear, hands up.

I don't even LIKE CARS, wtf.

I LOVE THEM ALL. I want to kidnap them and make them drive me places while insulting each others' height/age/driving ability/taste in cars NON-STOP.

<-- not scandalised; has been watching the show for several years now (inevitable by-product of living with two brothers/a dad who likes European cars/male flatmates)

Oh, my entire family watches it and has done so for ages, I am just continually baffled by the fact that I could love a car show this much!

Mumble. It's the closest I've ever come to watching reality TV. *points down at explanation to Lizzen*

It's on SBS on Monday nights, but the current season just finished.

Gay...ness...? I suppose, if one wanted to?

It's a reality show about three HILARIOUS British men (most of the humour is in their personalities and their wit) who test out new cars and race old ones and interview random people and have really funny challenges (the American special involved them painting each others' cars with inflammatory slogans (NASCAR SUCKS. GAY PRIDE.) and then driving through the American South. They got chased by rednecks with guns, it was terrifying but so, so funny.

It's...hard to explain. Basically you should just watch it to get an idea. There used to be some episodes on YouTube, I think, but I don't know if they're still there.

Family watches it. I think I've been suckered in. Don't TELL them, though.

Is this anything like my scandalous love for Car Talk on NPR?

I don't know, does it involve insane Brits? Because the insane Brits are what really make this show.
