Forgot it was on.
Went to see friends instead for a good meal.

Looking forward to Clarkson Hammond & May more than ever now, it's probably the first time l've longed for Autumn

Never Mind. I can always watch this new series when it makes it to "Dave".

It was pretty bad - why can't Evans shut the hell up for one second - it's like he's a butlins red coat!
Leblanc was better, but it was like a tribute show when the actors don't really like the original show.

Re: Top Gear is back TONIGHT
Even worse than the final show of the last series, and that was really bad.
The Rallycross Mini is a poor substitute.
Didn't even bother to watch the Chris Harris show on Beeb 3.

Re: Top Gear is back TONIGHT
I couldn't stand Chris Evans before, even less now..
LeBlanc was ok towards the end when he stopped acting and started presenting..
Personally I'd ditch Chris Evans, replace him with Chris Harris and bring in someone like Jon from 5th gear, although I think that pair plus a younger woman driver like Abbie eaton or Jade Edwards would work really well and freshen it up a lot more..
The worst thing is TG WILL get worse - don't forget Eddie Jordan will be on later in the year

Re: Top Gear is back TONIGHT
What a painful show. I came in at 15 mins to the Rialto race, I thought it was a repeat of the old series! The Atom test was very well filmed, but the feeble paparazzi chase was so false and unnecessary. What a shame to abuse the Landy and the Jeep.
Evans shouts too much, but LeBlanc was surprisingly good. BBC3? What's that?

Re: Top Gear is back TONIGHT
It's an online only thing now Nick. I watched half of the BBC3 thing - Harris took the Nomad around the track
The simple things you see are all complicated
I look pretty young but I'm just backdated yeah

Re: Top Gear is back TONIGHT
I'm sure I read that Evans thinks he is getting elbowed out of the BBC, radio and TV.
Sometimes a style just goes out of fashion.
IMHO 5th Gear is spot on but I'm too car bias, but the general public would be bored with 5th Gear and only crave a silly show on a Sunday night like the whole planet it seems.
BBC Upper Levels have missed a great chance to bring in a whole new game, maybe they too should be 'elbowed-out' with CE?

5th gear is now dead I believe - was chatting to a mate the other day (on the inside) and he said it was being knocked on the head

45 pages on PH. Even the Guardian is dissing it.
Re: Top Gear is back TONIGHT
Worth watching the BBC3 Extra Gear programme - it's now up on iPlayer. Rory Reid, Chris Harris and Sabine Schmitz front it and it's way better than the thing they are putting out on BBC2. I wonder how long it will take the BBC to realise they need to switch presenter line ups?
