My Friend thinks that Hannah Montana is better than Top Gear while I firmly believe that Jeremy, James and Richard are much more amusing and original.
Please settle this, which do you think is better?

Well, then it's really no contest, is it? Not that I've ever actually *seen* Hannah Montana but come on, one is a tween show and the other is Top Gear. *loves Top Gear*

Let me ask my four year old.
Oh wait, she can't stand either.
And there you have it. TV so rotten even a four year old rejects it.

Preferred the less stupid name of UKTV Gold tbqh. Shame they don't call UKTV History 'Dave History', though. That'd be quite good.

Used to be UKTV G2. Unfortunately, it also curtails each episode by 15 minutes or so to fit it into a 1 hour slot with adverts, hence missing out a quarter of Top gear goodness.
I prefer either iPlayer, Youtube, or SurftheChannel.

The episodes I've seen were all very benign in that regard. As in, using the same old stereotypes rather than actually xenophobic.
Then again, I only watch it when I happen to catch it on BBC International or a few Youtube videos, so maybe I was just lucky.

That's what I mean about 'circa 1950'. It's the same jokes Jim Davidson dropped years ago.
It's even funnier when Clarkson or one of his bitches start talking about 'environmentalists', whom I think they imagine to all look and talk like this:

God I miss that program. "The Young Ones" is hilarious.
I think I'm about 10-15 years too old to actually enjoy a Hannah Montana show. I suppose I could laugh at it, or perv on the star, but Top Gear is actually entertaining, and I'm not even that into cars.

It is not Hannah Montana. That alone should be enough reason to vote for it ;)
However, it is a popular show about cars. And why caravans suck. And what strange music mysterious racecardrivers like to hear while driving on the track.

A fairly typical clip from an episode in which they investigate if it's possible to drive so fast that speed cameras won't see you. It is.

See! People with no interest int he subject matter and who are at the butt of oh so many jokes on the show like it. Epic testimonial.
I rule the remote, so any TV show is easily enough avoided; in addition Hannah Montana is, as far as I know, not aired on any channel I get. However, it sounds like the inane kind of program I'd watch, because I have no taste.
I'm not much into cars, so I don't tend to watch Top Gear.

Hmmm, let me toss it up. Watching a moderately good looking young female, or watching a show where guys obsess about cars. I think the answer has to be watching the moderately good looking young female, even though I cannot stand much of the show.

I just don't see why anyone would ever want to watch shows about SUPAR PRETTEH and OMG TALENTED celebrities. Especially fictional ones, who never have to have widely publicised breakdowns as long as the scriptwriters don't want them to.
I want to see things go wrong when I watch TV, damnit! And that is why I choose Top Gear with only a moment's thought, disgusted that such a question should ever be asked.
EDIT: Even my mum, who can't tell a Ferrari from a Ford Laser and doesn't really care either way, would very quickly tell you she prefers Top Gear.

That is quite the dilemma. I, for one, am at a loss.
Top Gear, especially the last three or four series, has to be a contender for basically the best non sitcom or drama TV show ever made.

Oh gawd I can't believe I'm about to do this...
I find I must defend Hannah Montana here, despite its being mindless drivel. (Partly because my daughter watches I have an insight into this show.)
Hannah Montanna is the stage name for Miley Cyrus, daughter of Country singer Billy Ray Cyrus. Now, the part I take exception to is when you say she's a ho-bag. She's actually managed, so far, to avoid most of that. In fact, her father apparently maintains a good enough relationship with her that she had her name changed in his honor. (Miley was a nickname, but now her name is legally Miley Ray Cyrus) Goofy? Maybe... but there's certainly no reason to call her a ho-bag.
...not yet at least. :knock on wood:
But yes, the show, like all of those interrelated Disney channel kid sitcoms, is mindless drivel.
