Its Takeshis Castle without any sharp edges. Its a Knockout where the contestants learn their lines. And its another job for the Hamster so he earns as much as Clarkson. Yes i can see it becoming a feature on Saturday nights as well as European and celebrity versions. Maybe they will revive Its a Knockout next. Now that WAS fun.

I had a problem with the format. Richard Hammond didn't even see the action. All he did was comontate over the footage filmed in Argentina - from a studio in the UK.
Next time - at least ensure he's where the action is.

Don't agree - he didn't have to be there in person to comment wittily (indeed, I suspect the reason it worked so well was that he wrote his script after seeing the footage). Rather like Harry Hill.

Actually, you're probably right.
But if he could do it live - now that would be talent!
Actually, I thought Ant and Dec are the leaders in that field. Sat Night Takeaway was good this series - except the meaningless "Takeway Prison" feature. Pointless. (Except it wasn't live, so gave opportunities for scene/costume changest etc.
