Hasn't it always been?
and would it not be 'become shit' instead of 'got shit'?

I used to like it
but it has rather jumped the shark.

Yes I think it should be 'become shit' but meh.

Well Brian Johnson was good
but may be I'm just getting a bit PC in my old age but taking the piss out of dwarves and blondes is a bit naff.

Also taking the piss out of the Marinas owners club is getting at one of our own

Well
It's mostly scripted, the people that got involved know the reputation of the show, and a lot of their un-PC stuff is mainly a bing finger up to the constant complaints they get from humourless Daily Mail reading grief monkeys.

And Marinas are shit. 99% of what British Leyland did was shit. It's OK to laugh at one of them, even if a B3tan is part of the Marina Owner's Club.

A bing finger?
Sounds like fun...

Yes, a *bing* finger.
It's like a big finger, only binger!

I stopped watching it a couple of years ago.
It got overly-scripted, the presenters became caricatures of themselves and it just generally started to bug me.

Top Gear is still ace
I admit it's not as good as it was, but "got shit" is going a bit far.

It makes me laugh every week and not many shows do that. I don't hold its scriptedness and characturification against it. Almost all other TV shows have that and they're nowhere near as good.

Oh maybe I was being a little harsh.
It just doesn't seem as good as it was.

The Marina
was barely excusable, the Ital was shit however.

However, it pales compared to the Austin Allegro Vanden Plas.
