What's really peed me off is he's obviously not allowed to make Youtube videos while assigned to Top Gear, then they give him 5 mins on an online only program. I'd love to know what they're drinking at the BBC

Re: Top Gear is back
Hopefully the rest of the series will be less of Evans and more of the talented presenters. It needs to bed down a bit and adapt to opinion, which I hope they listen to.

Re: Top Gear is back
I disliked it, I thought Evans was annoying, I thought LeBlanc was wooden in the studio links, the star in a reasonably priced car segment was cringeworthy. LeBlancs piece on the Ariel Nomad was only half decent film in the programme, seemed quite natural at actually testing a vehicle. Like most I was not overly impressed.
Then, I thought, what was Evans supposed to do with the show. He clearly loves Top Gear, and is only trying to do the best job that he can with it. Then, I read this crap http://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/even...-truck-is.html Lost the plot springs to mind. Needless rant about 'haters', or, more specifically, his target audience. Needless pop at the previous presenters, none of whom have commented negatively about his version of the show. A delusional idea about the 'success' of the first show judging it from a viewing figure point of view, many of which would have watched out of curiosity, all nailed on to a p!ss poor car (truck) review that read like he got his child to write it with the help of a sales brochure. I was one of the 6 million viewers, that watched because I was a fan of the show, that would either watch it or sky + it in the past. I will probably watch it tomorrow night cos the missus has gone to Spain. Other than that, on the strength of the first episode I will no longer be bothered if I miss it or not. So, No Mr Evans, it is not a success.

Re: Top Gear is back
I watched it again last night whilst in the garage - purely because I was doing something else so had it on in the background. If I have something better to watch/do then I wont be fussed if I miss it...

Re: Top Gear is back
Watched the second episode last night just to see if it would get any better. Sadly it was even worse. It's turned into a celebrity circle jerk.
I can't recall any actual car information about the 3 "off roaders" being discussed and the McLaren review was just "WOAH THIS IS SO FAST! LOOK HERE'S JENSON BUTTON, HE'S AMAZING, THIS CAR IS AMAZING, I'M AMAZING, YEAH SUPER COOL, WHOOOOOO!!!"
