Top Gear
Top Gear is the UK's
premier motoring
show. Consistently BBC
TWO's most-watched
programme, it attracts
audiences of nearly
four million each week.
It could be said to be
ultimate boys' club, but
also one that through
its tone and style is
accessible to every-
one—40% of viewers
are female. In this
week’s edition we take
a close look at cara-
vans—since before the
dawn of time, Jeremy
Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond have
been pouring scorn on them and on those who
choose to spend their weekends living in them.
Well, this week the tables get turned as the Top
Gear team embark on a caravanning holiday of
their own—destination Dorset.

COMEDY
Frasier
Frasier chronicles the lives of eloquently pompous
radio show host Dr. Frasier Crane, his brazen radio
producer Roz, his
competitive, high-
brow brother Niles,
their crotchety father
Martin and his quirky
live-in nurse Daphne.
Frasier blends bril-
liant characters,
sophisticated and
witty word play and
hilarious physical
comedy, proving that
laughter is the best
therapy. Just ask the
frenetically frustrated
Dr. Frasier Crane.

Ocean’s 13
Ruthless casino owner Willy Bank (Al Pacino) never
imagined that the odds were against him when he
double-crossed Danny Ocean’s (George Clooney)
friend and mentor Reuben Tishkoff (Elliott Gould),
putting the distraught Reuben in a hospital bed in
critical condition.
But Bank miscalculated... badly. He may have taken
down one of the original Ocean’s Eleven, but he left
the others standing and, worse for him, gave them
a shared purpose: to take Bank down on the night
of what should be his greatest triumph, the grand
opening of his new Casino appropriately named
The Bank.

Ways" that he bought.
