The 655bhp Koenigsegg records the fastest straight-line speed on the Top Gear track, but can it set the fastest lap time? A Renault Mégane is crash-tested and there's the first look at the new Aston Martin V8 Vantage. While Jeremy drives the Hummer H2, Richard drives the Talon Riot Control Vehicle... through a Portacabin. Stuart Hall extols the virtues of the Rolls Royce Silver Cloud and Neil Morrissey is this week's Star in a Reasonably Priced Car.

The one where C4 ditches Friends | Media Monkey
added by newsBotNo more repeats of Us sitcom on broadcaster's channels
It is truly the end of an era. Not only is Channel 4 ditching Big Brother (well, probably) it is also giving up the UK broadcast rights to a show that has surely appeared on its schedules more than any other – Friends! Repeats of the long-running Us sitcom will shift to Comedy Central from October 2011. "After 15 years, 10 hit series and 236 terrific episodes it's time to say goodbye to old Friends and welcome new ones, in the form of more comedy, drama and entertainment from the Us and UK," says Gill Hay, the channel's head of acquisitions. There might have been 236 episodes, but how many times has Channel 4 shown them? And what is Monkey expected to do between 8pm and 9pm of an evening? E4's Friends double bill was default viewing if there was nothing else on. Oh, hang on – Top Gear repeats on Dave. »

Top Gear Getting Into Video Games
added by newsBotEver wanted to strap a Scion to two thermal rocket boosters and launch the bastard into the stratosphere or fill a car to the brim with water and drive it into general traffic just to see the reaction of the others drivers on the road? Do you still like having a clean driving record and car insurance that doesn't require the blood of your first born child?
BBC has got the solution for gearheads like you and me: an official 'Top Gear' video game! The broadcasting giant is taking the world's greatest car show and bringing it to a a Nintendo Wii, Nintendo DS or iPhone near you, news that doubly good to me because I'm a huge 'Top Gear' fan and I called for it to be turned into a video game right here at TV Squad! Who says dreams don't come true now, Mom? »

It's all downhill from here – your TV guide to the 2010 Winter Olympics
added by newsBotTelevised Olympic highlights – from Ghana's leopard-skin clad skier to Jeremy Clarkson in a 4x4 biathlon

Men's downhill
What is it: Keen-eyed, rangy, oddly homogeneous men in very tight outfits transform themselves into tiny coloured specks skittering down an expanse of white. Repeat until someone wins.
What might go wrong: Leaving aside the standard full-tilt ski-splattering tumble from which some Scandinavian giant will casually pick himself up and wander off adjusting his lip-balm, in Vancouver the men's downhill will also provide Kwame Nkrumah-Acheampong, Ghana's first ever Winter Olympian. Nkrumah-Acheampong learnt to ski in Milton Keynes. He affects a leopard-print ski suit. He's going to come last by miles. But you never know. In the style of Eddie "The Eagle" Edwards, this man is essentially doing it for a dare and something really spectacular might happen to him. Perhaps something that stops him, however briefly, recording a heart-warming top 10 hit single. »
