Well its not working for me, only been 30mins into the new series and Im sick of the Gingers voice already.  >:(

Dont care what anybody says, whether you love, hate or loath them, JC, May and that Hamster chap are Top Gear.

Totally agree. Just switched off to go and watch a box set. It all just smells of "trying too hard". And yes, Gingers voice really is annoying after not very long.

The box set ?  Homeland. If you don't know this. Watch it. Essential viewing.

It's a little like taking time off work.

Take a month off and people realise how much they need you.

Take three months off and they realise they can do without you.

By the time I get back to work we won't have a team left, its gonna be like the Marie Celeste!!! 1 got a new job firing guns, 1 on the driver training skool, 2 opted to move away from traffic all together, and 1 on long term sick!!!  :'( :'( :'(

Evans really is a gigantic pain in the ass.

You have to remember that the whole concept had already been done to death by the original musketeers. We were all moaning that it had gone stale and was too samey, so introducing two less talented presenters and giving them inferior material to work with was never going to work.
It was just the beeb trying to prove they could do it without Clarkson.
They spend a huge amount of our money on this programme and that wasn't a problem when they could make a massive profit selling it abroad. But I doubt they'll recoup what they invest in this series, unless it's already pre-sold. Again, I doubt many buyers will want a second series, the format is too familiar.

Bloody hell. It must be REALLY bad then

Nevada USA, US Fighter planes, top of the range muscle cars etc etc. How much of my licence fee has that cost ? Just to pacify the egos of the upper echelons of the BBC. TG was not cheap, but it was cheaper than that for sure.

Sack all of the upper levels of the BBC and replace them with young fresh realistic talent.

Totally disagree, yea the JC series was starting to get tied, but it still had legs, and tons of followers.

I reckon, like me, most people watched the show tonight, prepared to give it a go, and hoping it would go with a bang, the BBC have had enough time and funds to prepare for that. But no, the show was just rubbish, Evans was rubbish, shouting he's way through the script, its almost like Evans has done all he's homework buy watching all the JC shows and just tried to mimic them all.

Sad, that such a Show with so many followers and fans can be destroyed so easily within the first few mins of a re launch.

Wasted opportunity to do something different/fresh. :'(

Can the Ginger Cant, and let Matt and Sabine run it as their show. It was clear that neither were entirely comfortable working with him...

When does the other one start?

Well I missed it earlier as we were outside having a BBQ so I've just put it on Iplayer and lasted a full 2m 30s before I had to turn it off, it's was so cringeworthy I couldn't bear it.

Clearly Evans thinks he's Clarkson, it's a shame because you'd think him pretending to be anybody but himself would be an improvement.

I thought they were going to change the format as well as the presenters....  :-\

Although I liked 'The Star In A Rally Car', there will be some fun on the off road bits!  ::)
