Top Gear S30E04

It's mid-life crisis cars and a Japanese hot hatch that headlined the fourth episode of Top Gear Season 30.

Top Gear S30E04

In the recent episode, Chris Harris, Freddie Flintoff, and Paddy McGuinness bought themselves some second-hand sports cars that fit for those who had mid-life crisis and then set off through a series of arousing and annoying challenges to find out which one is the beat. Fred drives a TVR Chimaera, Paddy drives a Ferrari F355, and Chris drives an Aussie-made Vauxhall Monaro. They get involved into some series of challenges such as track days against a bunch of youths and more weirdly, driving with their wetsuits on.

Meanwhile, at the Top Gear Test Track, Chris Harris samples Toyota's newest hot hatch available, the four-wheel-drive GR Yaris, and then greeted by rallying greats.

That's the fourth episode of Top Gear Season 30, which is also the last of this season, but before the season ended, Top Gear paid tribute to the late Sabine Schmitz as past and present presenters; from Jeremy Clarkson to Chris Harris, gathered together alongside motoring greats in honor of the Queen of Nurburgring.

Top Gear S30E03

Offroaders are the focus of the third episode of Top Gear Series 30 with the new-generation Land Rover Defender the main focus of this episode.

Top Gear S30E03

Land Rover regenerated the Defender after half a century later with new tech, new engine, new design, and new interior that makes it well prepared for today's rough roads. Question is, is it better? This is why Chris Harris steps in to have a word with the new Defender...and then took on an epic adventure against the Mercedes-AMG G63 and the Ariel Nomad, with Paddy McGuinness and Freddie Flintoff at bay.

This whole Defender vs. the world episode is packed with numerous challenges to see if the new Defender's up to the job such as clay pigeon shooting, land-skiing at the Oban Airport, and the race to the lighthouse to name a few.

Next time, used sports cars for the midlife crisis and a GR Yaris.

They have the chance to showcase them all in one package.

Then, at the Top Gear Test Track, Chris Harris and Paddy McGuinness are clashing over which of the Italian sportscars are the best. Representing modern times, there's the brand new Ferrari Roma grand tourer. And for the good old days, there's the Alfaholics GTA-R.

And lastly, it's Top Gear vs. jetpack round two, this time with Freddie Flintoff driving the newest electric offroad racer known as the Extreme E and up against a man in, you guessed it, a jetpack.

Top Gear S29 FINALE

The 29th season of Top Gear, aired on its new home channel BBC One, shows that even in the "new normal" we still have to enjoy the coolest and weirdest cars by all means necessary. In the season finale, the boys are wrapping up the "new normal" season with three electric cars and an ice cream offroader.

Top Gear S29 FINALE

The Season 29 finale sees Paddy McGuinness came up with a crazy idea; creating an offroad ice cream truck he named Mr. Nippy. Paddy's latest offroad invention was put to the test in the streets of Blackpool until the producers sent him and his invention to an even punishable location fit enough for Mr. Nippy's torture test; an old military area on Salisbury Plain.

The season finale also see three of the latest electric cars; the Vauxhall Corsa-e, the Mini Cooper SE, and the Honda e, taking on challenges at an empty Alton Towers theme park.

So there we are; the "new normal" Top Gear featured Paddy's offroad inventions, a tribute to the late Sir Stirling Moss, the Cyprus road trip, the retro supercar clash, grand tourers, and all leading up to one record-breaking moment where the Ferrari SF90 became the fastest to get round the Top Gear Test Track. It all makes common-ish sense now.

This concludes the 29th season of Top Gear. See you next season!

Top Gear S29E01

New normal, new home channel, new stage, same old Top Gear. The 29th season of Top Gear marks the beginning because it now airs on its new channel, BBC One.

Top Gear S29E01

Because we live in the "new normal", the presenters have turned the Top Gear Test Track into an outdoor stage with lots and lots of cars parked and audiences filled the track in a socially distanced manner.

Anyway, the season opener, what was it about? Oh yeah, the 29th season kicked off with Freddie Flintoff, Paddy McGuinness, and Chris Harris are spending 24 hours inside the cars while trekking through the city of Bolton. Using the Tesla Model 3, BMW 3-Series G20, and the third-generation Volvo S60, the boys are trying to find out if the sedan magic still remains in the midst of the crossover craze.

Far away, Chris Harris tries out Ferrari's new hybrid supercar, the SF90 Stradale. When handed to The Stig, the SF90 set a new Top Gear Test Track record in 1:11.3!

What a way to start the new season of Top Gear in its new home channel, BBC One. Expect more to come in the "new normal" Top Gear.

The 10 best Pengsoo moments

August 8 in South Korea is Pengsoo day because for the young South Koreans, it marks the birthday of everyone's favorite giant penguin creator, Pengsoo, the star of EBS's hit TV show, Giant Peng TV. In honor of Pengsoo Day, let's jot down the top 10 best Pengsoo moments.

Pengsoo

10) After moments of sleeping in the props room since he first went to EBS, the folks from a Korean steel company built Pengsoo's new crib located at the top of the EBS main lobby. Pengsoo's own crib is everything this penguin wanted. He even invited some popular EBS characters to check it out as well.

9) Park Jae-Young and Pengsoo ruined the puzzle after an argument and now they're spending the rest of the day re-piecing them back. With the entire EBS heard about what happened, the whole team got their back and their support made them finished the puzzle together!

8) Pengsoo and his friends began making carp bread and sell it to everyone in honor of Pengsoo's Golden Button award. Because Pengsoo's carp bread is so popular, it gain the attention of Yu Jae Seok, a TV presenter from MBC, and Mr. KMJ, the boss of EBS.

7) Pengsoo's guest appearance in a SBS TV series, Stove League. A certain Giant Peng TV episode showcases what's Pengsoo like to appear in a hit K-drama series.

6) Pengsoo reunites with his old kindergarten friends, Beom the otter and Ttogi, a mascot for Greenpeace Korea. As the trio off to a outing, they come face-to-face with Dooly, a classic Korean cartoon character, and they had a lot of fun as well!

5) Pengsoo pays a visit to one of Korea's biggest TV networks. He enjoys getting to know the folks working at that station as well as the shows until the big crucial moment that Pengsoo is offered to stay at a fancy secret room in exchange of working with them. Pengsoo sadly accepted the offer but because he missed his time at EBS, our favorite giant penguin ran away from the network and chasing his Peng TV crew.

4) A certain organization wants Pengsoo to create a PSA combating smoking. Pengsoo accepts the challenge and because his PD, Park Jae-Young, is late for work, his punishment is...being the cigarette in Pengsoo's anti-smoking PSA shooting!

3) Pengsoo comes face to face with the K-Pop girl group TWICE as part of his road to Billboard. During his visit, the TWICE members taught Pengsoo the tools of the trade. They even taught him how to make Dalgona coffee as well!

2) Two Pengsoos in the dead of night? In the Halloween episode, when his then-manager Park Jae-Young left the building, Pengsoo encountered another Pengsoo?! Scary! The fake Pengsoo is chasing the real Pengsoo and when things get rough, the fake Pengsoo got Park Jae-Young! Desperate, the two Pengsoo battle each other until the real Pengsoo wins the fight!

1) EBS News reporter Lee Dong-Hyun tries to unmask Pengsoo, Unanswered Questions style. After moments of sneaking behind Pengsoo, not to mention the hilarious closet prank Pengsoo pulled on him, the newscaster meets Pengsoo in person to find out who this penguin is and after numerous analysis, Pengsoo is confirmed (?) that he's 99.99% penguin.

As our favorite giant penguin is now eleven years old, expect more misadventures to come from Pengsoo and the team because the whole Korea, the world rather, won't know what happens next when this giant penguin plans something big! Expect more surprises, more drama, and more laughs from our favorite giant penguin from EBS!

Happy Pengsoo Day!

Giant Peng TV airs on EBS 1TV every Monday and Friday at 7:45PM Korea Standard Time. New episodes added on the official Giant Peng TV YouTube channel after it airs.

Doctor Who S12 FINALE

Everything about what happened in this season will be revealed as the Series 12 finale of Doctor Who sees The Doctor facing off against The Master once again while the others are struggling against the Cyber Army.

Since this is the finale of this season, best not to read this post unless you watched it. Come back to this post after watching the Season 12 finale, right?


Top Gear S28 FINALE

It's the end of an era as the last Top Gear episode to be aired on BBC Two before transitioning to BBC One later this year is all about first responders, Colin McRae tribute, the BMW M8, and Tom Allen.

In the finale, Paddy McGuinness is at the Top Gear Track to take on the first-ever BMW M8 and see if its better than the Audi R8 and the Honda NSX. When handed to The Stig, it set a lap time of 1:26.2 in the wet.

Then, Chris Harris pays tribute to one of the most iconic rally drivers in history, Colin McRae. He even take a spin at McRae's championship-winning Subaru Impreza rally car as well.

After that, Tom Allen is the last SIARFC of the season and he did it in 1:51.1 in damp conditions.

Ending the season is the emergency vehicles challenge where the boys figure out which of the emergency vehicles is the quickest. They summoned a police van, a fire truck, and an ambulance and then take on series of challenge to see which of the emergency vehicles really is, you guessed it, THE fastest first responder to get through an emergency scenario.

And that really is the end of the era of Top Gear on BBC Two as they know it. After several decades of being on air at BBC Two, Top Gear is now officially leaving BBC Two as the next season will see this show packed their belongings and move into their new home channel; BBC One.

2TV to 1TV wise, expect more from Chris Harris, Paddy McGuinness, and Freddie Flintoff as they will take on more craziness, more fast cars, and more stuff as they set to return for a new season at their new home channel. See you next season!
