Seriously, this is the sort of thing that is why I watch Top Gear:

1) The concluding sentiment: "We are numpties, aren't we?"

2) A competition between the three hosts which involves a lap race... in small, cheap cars, in which the time starts as the driver has to try and load a very large dog into the car he's chosen. At the end of the lap, if the dog "looks sad", the driver is disqualified. James May: "But St Bernards always look sad..." He has a point, of course, but the obvious meaning of the restriction was that they must drive with due care and attention to avoiding any distress to the canine passenger.

Currently: There's nothing else I want to watch on, so I'm watching a few minutes of England vs Australia rugby union. Later, two things I want to watch are on simultaneously... but one of them is on Dave, so I can just watch the other one, then watch the one from Dave on Dave ja vu.

English television is spectacularly repetitive. Never mind channels repeating other channels - you'll have the same show more than once ON THE SAME DAY, and then repeated again the NEXT day. It's bizarre. It's not like the BBC hasn't produced a vast stockpile of extremely good television over the last few decades, after all - or even the last few months. But no, repeats are frequent and recent.
