The vast majority of the viewing audience canât tell the difference between Last of the Summer Wine and Top Gear, we can reveal. Car fan Carl Richards said âI turned on the telly the other night and there was Thora Hird driving along spouting old person bollocks, butÂ then it turned out I was actually watching Jeremy Clarkson reviewing a new Alpha Romeo.â âAn easy mistake to make, you have to admit.â âAnd then another time I was watching a Top Gear presenter driving a new Lamborghini, and only realised later it was Last of the Summer Wine and Compo had won the lottery.â âSort it out, BBC.â Top Gear producers have reacted angrily to the claim, saying âNext week jeremy and James will push Hammond down a hill in a bath with wheels on whilst an old lady in the audiences cackles with uncontrollable, hysterical laughter.â âWhat could be more original than that?â A BBC spokesman said: âThe difference is clear. One is a gentle comedy about three childish old men desperately clinging to lost youth in a succession of japes, the otherâ¦â âOhâ¦â
