Issues and Complications of Top Gear

By Nico Argenti

Accuracy

• Top Gear is a documentary broadcast on BBC and and it started in 2002 ,

and has had over 18 series. Accuracy is how correct the program is

In the Top gear they are not always accurate in fact they’re very often inaccurate. They often lie about different topics for example. A lot of the stuff that happens on the show , for example James may pretends to have a huge crash this means its not accurate because he would never survive a crash of that destruction.

Top Gear often exaggerate for example they take extremely expensive cars and do challenges with them this isn’t accurate as not everyone can afford cars like that.

Accuracy

• Top gear can be accurate they give facts which are correct for example they might say this car was voted most reliable car and there facts would be correct.

• Top Gear is both accurate and in accurate which makes the program more enjoyable to watch.

Bias

• Bias is when the program is in favor of one thing more than the other

• Top gear can be extremely bias for example if they are doing a challenge with three cars there is always one car that they prefer to the others.

• The presenters always have a car that are bias towards if it the car they chose to do the trial with.

• All the presenters argue about there cars always claiming there is better which means they are being bias towards the car they chose they never say “your is better” its always “mine is better”.

Opinion

• Opinion is someone's view but its not correct , its just what they think.

• There is a lot of opinion on Top Gear for example if they don’t like a car they will claim its rubbish or that only people they don’t like should drive them.

• A good example of opinion of Top Gear is the “cool wall” . Basically they show a picture of a car and say whether they think its cool. This is all opinion , quite often Richard Hammond and Jeremy Clarkson think differently Richard will find one car cool whereas Jeremy would think its uncool. All of this is opinion they aren’t correct but there saying what they think.

Objectivity

• objectivity is when they’re not favoring either side so it’s a balanced . It’s the complete opposite to opinion.

• Sometimes Top Gear don’t take one side for example if they’re comparing two cars and doing challenges for them they’ll see what are the good and bad points of each one.

• They’ll also say stuff like if you’re looking for a reliable car then this is the one where as if you’re looking for a fast car you should consider this one although its more expensive.

• They try to show two completely different cars and say what the strong points are.

Balance

• When it comes to balance for example if one of the presenters is looking at a car if they have a balanced opinion that means that they have things they like and don’t like about the vehicle. For example they might say its nice and fast but very expensive they are balancing out there opinions.

Impartiality

• Impartiality is when you’re in the middle you’re not involved in the opinions. For example if someone thinks a car is good and someone disagrees if you were impartial you would have no opinion.
