    It seems like people confuse "scripted lines" with "somebody saying something but then the take being ruined so you do another take of the same thing".
    Honestly though, even the Super Slow Show never bothered me. It has a different feel to it, sure, but it's still fun. That said, I do think the Planet Slow Mo is a better format for the channel; it does feel a bit more natural, it's got more interesting locations instead of being all on one set, and it's nice having the filming video separated from the analysis video. But it's all good really :)

    Reminds me of the time Top Gear won an award for "best unscripted show" and Clarkson said "We were unable to be there to accept the award because we were too busy writing the scripts for next season." But yeah, not scripted, but rehearsed/multiple-take ad-libs. Or writing the script on the fly, if you want to think of it that way.

      Some of the jokes are scripted, I remember in one of the "Cool wall segment" Clarkson discretely reminding Hammond to make the joke about a car being designed with a ruler by telling him "ruler, ruler" quietly but you can hear it
      I think the show was more scripted than it seemed, but it was good scripting and it allowed them to be funny as themselves a lot of time

      I don't think he's doing it to uphold his reputation, I think he's doing it for those interested in what goes on behind the scenes, they don't really need to prove themselves, the quality is in the end result, and really it wouldn't matter if they scripted it, to me, I'd rather that, than have them, not have a plan of what they were doing, not know how describe what they are seeing, or having to trail and error their way through because they'd forgotten to bring key things they didn't account for..🤷‍♂️ even if it was scripted, It doesn't come across scripted I don't think..

    Honestly you guys are, by far, the most consistently good and funny content creators on TH-cam. You’ve been on it since the very start making (fairly) regularly released content and it’s all been brilliant. So, even if your stuff was scripted, I wouldn’t care, it’s all brilliant and hilarious (including planet slow mo and super slow show... don’t understand how people don’t like them). So the fact that it isn’t just increases my positive opinion of you. Please keep it up I need more slow mo 🙌🙌

    Riffing off camera and then rehearsing that is sort of a form of scripting, but I don't remember it bothering me. Doing multiple takes is a normal part of filming and I trust you to put together the best version when you're editing.

    People are too cynical, demanding and feel entitled these days and when something doesn't satisfy them, then there obviously has to be something wrong with the video and yet not their wrongful processing of it. To an extent, everything is scripted even if it's not written - there needs to be things asked, things covered, responses, times windows for responses/reactions and if there is not an order, it's a complete mess. Working with friends is a bit easier as you know how they work, the space they need for their reaction and how to ensure things flow well. People are too cynical even if you just have a list of keywords, you need to follow, even before you press record on the main camera.
    Keep up the good work.
