Vege, lol. Yes, dozens, at least. But I agree strongly with Berney. Atrocious cast. Painful to watch. Soooo stuck up their own butts. So ignorant. So biased in their opinions, too. None of them knew how to drive my car when they made an attempt and tried to blame their ineptitude on the car.
Actually about 350 million people disagree with you! It’s the most widely watched factual programme in the world (according to the Guinness book of world records) 😂
Think the questions a bit misleading though to have the stig listed as a presenter. Also, might be worth changing the question to top gear presenters (2003-2015) given the recent changes to the line up.
Honestly, Kal. Maybe you don't like to watch Top Gear. Does that mean you have to shout down not only its presenters but also its aforementioned 350,000,000 fans?
It's supposed to be a comedy show for car lovers, and it's great!. The presenters may grate from time to time, but that show is fantastic...or it was, anyway. Now I watch The Grand Tour. I miss The Stig, though.
@kalbahamut Are you telling us that the test they did with the Reliant Robin went bad because of their ineptitude with the car? Or are you trying to boast that you have a car so amazing and awesome that even the presenters on the worlds biggest motoring show aren't as good at driving it as you? Be honest now
I'm trying to say what I said. and a lot of people have trouble driving my car. It has an enormous amount of power and torque which most people don't even know what to do with. Especially those used to driving European cars. But I suspect that the main reason is that the presenters are very biased against American cars and had already decided what they were going to say about it before the show started filming. I mean look at the fiasco when they reviewed a Tesla. They already knew what the narrative of the show was going to be before they even got the car. Anyway, I drove my Viper for 13 years and took it to more than one high performance driving class and you'd have to be kind of a smug idiot to think that Jeremy Clarkson could drive it better just because he's on a popular TV show.
evil: yes, exactly. I'll never forget the problems I had trying to buy insurance at the border between Slovakia and Poland one day because my engine was literally off the charts big. Bigger than anything made by Lamborghini or Ferrari. They ended up charging me for two cars.
The ones that sound butthurt are actually the Top Gear fans who are so offended that a Jetpunker doesn't enjoy their favorite show lol. Re-read the comments above!
Did well in this quiz and am proud to say the only two I missed were the xfactor judges. Not all of us in the UK are x factor obsessed with football as our religion! Enjoyed this quiz
There are dozens if not hundreds of actors who have played Bond over the years but the quiz is obviously only counting the actors who appeared in Eon films.
I was missing only one of those, vaguely remembered something like Fentchurch Street. When that didn't work, I tried to write it with a 'd' instead, but when I removed the 't', lo and behold, the quiz stopped because I had finished it! Funny.
It does, but kids think it is automatically more impressive when you are young, while it is usually the opposite. When you are young your learning capacity is much bigger, and the things you have learned are much fresher. Remembering something you learned a year ago vs something you learned 40 years ago and never heard of since...
I think up to about 8 it is impressive. From 8-18 you actually have the advantage (big time). from well lets stick with the 8's, from 18-38 it is normal and from 38 to 78(68?) it gets a bit harder and from 78 and up it is impressive again.
These are rough estimates and based on my opinion, but the general trend is true. (you could shift the break up points around a bit obviously, cause it is more fluent than abrupt)
You do have a point there kind of, raven, I reckon I have forgotten more stuff over the years than I currently know. But it is undeniable that the years do help with assimilating general knowledge.
Also Lazenby, Dalton, Brosnan, Walsh and the countries and capitals that aren't English. About 84% of the UK population lives in England. Non-English answers make up about 20% of the quiz. Not English enough! :P
Why do you have to put the numbers for the male Tudor monarchs but not for the female ones? They were Mary I and Elizabeth I, not just Mary and Elizabeth. We've had another one of each since then.
As an American, I can understand how others might see so many of these quizzes as US-centric, which is why I didn't mind taking this one even knowing I'd probably get very few correct answers. Surprisingly, knew all of the countries, capitals, Bonds, Beatles and (gulp) Spice Girls, plus 8 others. I couldn't name a bank or British Monopoly item if my life depended on it. But I will always give it a try.
"Britain" usually refers to the UK as a whole, while "Great Britain" refers to just the island- i.e. England, Wales and Scotland. So Northern Ireland is part of Britain.
But Clarkson, Hammond and May left Top Gear a few years back. Maybe its worth changing it to 'Original Top Gear Presenters' or 'Past Top Gear Presenters'.
i typed matt le blanc and it wasn't accepted so i tried different variations of le blanc and still nothing so i tried Clarkson and then found out they wanted the holy trinity of top gear. wased 2 minutes on that
Definitely not the original presenters, maybe the most well-known and long-lived, but for the sake of removing ambiguity, maybe just get rid of them (not necessarily from the quiz)
Top Gear has had loads of presenters over the years - the ones listed on this quiz are what one could call the "Classic" line up (i.e. when Top Gear became huge and an international success). Some sort of caveat is probably needed.
Ulster is made up of nine counties, whereas Northern Ireland is made up of six of those nine: they are not the same (although I know some people use ther name Ulster as a shorthand for NI).
I don't think you should accept Bank of Scotland - that's a different bank to the Royal Bank of Scotland yet when I put that in, it filled in the Royal for me. (But thanks for saving me some typing).
The question was relating to the part played by the actors i.e. James Bond (quintessential MI6 man) the birthplace of the actor is not what was asked for and is totally irrelevant.
"Name the members of these famous British groups." Not asking anything about the character they played. Lazenby is not British, therefore cannot be a member of a 'British group'.
If anyone would like to test their knowledge of Britain further then I've created a series of "Britain by picture" quizzes which you might be interested in trying.
36/56 (American). I should have gotten more...I have only seen a few episodes of Top Gear, but I should have at least gotten The Stig...And I can't believe I forgot Bloody Mary...
I would say to be a presentor you would have to talk ;) :)
I am fine with him being included though I am not so point hungry as some. And he is an integral part of the show. I thought it was funny to see him show up as an answer, but to say it is correct is another matter.
It's not part of the Channel Islands, it's a seperate Island on it's own. Isle of Wight is just off the coast of England, Channel Islands are on the other side of The Channel off the coast of France.
So, before Daniel Craig, we had seen 5 men play Bond; a Scot, an Australian, an Englishman, a Welshman, and an Irishman. That seems like a fair distribution, until you think that, according to the author, Bond is half Scottish (through his father) and half Swiss (mother), although, these details were added by Fleming to match up with Connery playing Bond, and the details were only added in the 1964 novel You Only Live Twice - to put this into context, it was the 12th novel - the first, Casino Royale, was published in 1963.
Richard Hammond, James May and Jeremy Clarkson left in 2015, the presenters now are Freddie Flintoff, Chris Harris and Paddy McGuiness and the Stig has stayed so you were 25% correct
Think the questions a bit misleading though to have the stig listed as a presenter. Also, might be worth changing the question to top gear presenters (2003-2015) given the recent changes to the line up.
launched one into space, then yes he succeeded over their failed attempt.

Also, *highfive* at ^NatashaMcCarthy. :)
2 also typing just Edward gives you the answer in Queens Children so it needs to differenciate between the answers
3 they would not have been known as mary I or Elizabeth I when back then so the historical term is being applied
