Shame about the comments.
I am sure that all the press I saw and heard stated that the fiming was just Saturday though?
And that it was not a Top Gear 'show' as such, more an installation of motoring/car related art?
Just spoken to a friend actually, who was there yesterday, saw the filming and indeed spoke to the presenters, infact got told off by May for having his ipod earphones in!
Suppose that it may have been a bit over hyped by local media and some people expecting more?

I thought the EXHIBITION was very good and had some great pieces on show.
As above, this was not 'TopGear Live' but an car related art exhibition.
Guess it might have been lost on the uncultured, uneducated general public of Middlesbrough. Those when went for what is was enjoyed it.
Did you really expect the presenters to be there all the time? It does run until 29th November.

I went at 12:30 on the saturday, met James May and Jeremy Clarkson. They talked for a bit in front of the camera crew about the exhibition and cracked a few jokes for the public. Nice guys, shame more people didnt get to see/meet them!
No sign of the hamster, think he was probably to busy filming christmas advert!
Majority of the exhibition was good, smaller than expected but i have never been to the Mima gallery before!

I read about this on the Northern Echo and knew exactly what I was going to see... I knew the presenters wouldn't have been there, and knew it was a exhibition.
For the people who got in first thing in the morning, the presenters were there to open the gallery, these were first come first serve, and no need for tickets....
Any time after that you needed a ticket, we went for the 3:30 viewing, and was very impressed, I wanted to take the carbon fibre fish home with me, as well as some of the car drawings.
Seems while we were at the gallery, the Top Gear lot made an appearance at the Boro match:

Here's a link to the carbon fish: http://www.autoblog.com/2009/04/22/ex-f1-mechanic-...
I loved the Piranha
Was good to see the traditional Colin Chapman drawings of older Lotus's along side the CAD drawing of the new Evora.
I thought some of the photography was amazing too, capturing some unusual elements of racing.
