As it currently sits it has no chance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savage Henry Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Does he like cars? Not sure that's terribly important. I'd go for a Jeremy Paxman and Jeremy Clarkson dream team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarkson and May were, at least, motoring journalists. Evans and Leblanc were celebrities with an interest in cars. Flintoff and McGuinness talking cars sounds like something that should be shown on Dave. I will not be watching this - wrong fit for the show. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 BBC bosses are so middle class they can't get their heads round the fact some people are interested in cars. They are happy to churn out shows about gardening ffs! There's so much decent content on youtube now from Harry's Garage, to carwow, Carfection, Petrolicious and loads if you prefer the more inane "yoof" stuff and posh boys in their supercars with their dim, posh friends like MrJWW or that twat Shmee. The new technology of broadcast quality cameras, editing software, drones etc means these little independent guys can churn out stuff that's in no way sub-standard to the proper tv shows. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YER SISTERS YER MAW Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Anyone watch Top Gear the night? I didn't think it was that good an opener to the new season. Chris Harris is still an annoying twat though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8MileBU Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 New series was back on tonight. Alright episode. Didn’t realise we were getting another series out of Matt Le Blanc so was pleasantly surprised as Flintoff and McGuiness are going to be awful. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 I cringe through most of the episodes. Bit mean of the BBC to put it up against James May talking about train sets on BBC 4. I'm watching BBC4. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm watching BBC4.Still enjoy the show overall and think I will actually really miss MLB when Flintoff and Ding-Dang-Doo take over next year. What I’ve really found awful this series is they’ve been trying to make Chris Harris a bit of a silly, wacky character. Much preferred him just being a fairly normal bloke and an awesome driver. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree. The banter is nearly all scripted on The Grand Tour as well, but the rivalry between Chris and the Friends guy is so obviously fake. The Grand Tour boys have had decades to perfect it. PS Just watched the last episode which surprised me, but was pretty good. Chris and Rory did their stuff and Matt didn't get involved much. Maybe that was the mistake.

EdinburghPar1975 Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Still quite like TG and last nights actually felt like it was getting there...just as they'll change it all again! I've heard Rory Reid won't be on the new one (or very little) and I think that's a shame as I think he's been really good at the reviews this season. Chris Harris is a great driver but it looks like it'll take a bit of a departure next season as he'll be the only 'real' auto guy. Maybe it'll work, maybe it won't but i'll give it a go and might be pleasantly surprised... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
