And indeed I was one of those people but that does not mean that James May HATES Meat Loaf and if you'd included that statement in a letter to the BBC I think they probably would have ignored your mail which I can understand. Top Gear like any other entertainment program is heavily scripted and dramatised to be "entertaining". The offending Meat Loaf and his fans part was included to be "cool" and indeed to generate some laughs as all three presentors were in on it. Did any of the presentors at any time say "Oh I so love this song, I went to a concert of them and it was awesome" (unless of course that artist is in the studio and it is suck up time)? Of course not, that is just the type of stuff you'd never hear on TG. But if you like to continue to believe everything that is said in Top Gear as being the truth on how people are in real life be my guest.
