What I find fun about it now is that it has gone full circle on it's humour.
Previously it was mostly reality with some funny scripted bits.
Now, as it's 99% scripted, the funnier bits are almost the parts which are completely natural. I probably laughed the most when Hammond COMPLETELY...
I don't think for one moment they claim that it's not fake. It's an entertainment program not a factual series.
The guy who is in charge of it admits he knows little about cars.
I love it for what it is.
