I thought it was about the same as before, to be honest. Same tired format, no worse with the new presenters, proving that there wasn't actually any "magic" left in the previous presenters, IMHO. I thought it was obvious to everyone that it also needed some fresh ideas. Everyone except the BBC, it seems. :-\

Exactly how I felt.
 Much better was the following programme on the Battle of Jutland, the only battleship fleet engagement not involving aircraft. Radio communication not used enough, ammunition flash doors propped open to increase rate of fire, both fleets using new and untested technology, all were described. In this inconclusive action thousands of men died in a few hours. the Germans returned to port first and claimed a great victory, but the British blockade of Germany continued so the Brits won really.

This sums it all up quite well I think. I looked this up as this guy was interviewed live on BBC radio and said much the same thing. I love the expression as " as much chemistry as Ed Milliband and Nigel Farage"

I read that that Ging Tw*t said that he would be disappointed to have less than 5m viewers for the first episode and they got 4.4m. I wonder if they can count how many turned off during the show? :D

Picture on Twitter today of Clarkson, Hammond and May pissing themselves looking very unconcerned.

Id love to know where they get these so called accurate viewing figures from in just a short space of time.  :-\

Ive ever been asked what Ive been watching in my entire lifetime let along less than 24 hours ago,

In case you missed it, its on again in about 3 mins time on 2, I wonder how many millions will be watching it this time.  ::)
Well not me thats for sure.

Was determined not to watch as I can't abide Chris Evans.In the end I relented on the basis of "can't knock it 'til you've tried it.Apart from the aforementioned CE they should have been a lot braver and changed the format-or at least changed it a lot more than they have.Shall not be watching again.

Watched the repeat last night and apart from the different faces was the same as usual a few good bits punctuated by lots of juvenile stuff but will no doubt tune in again next week.
