Poor to say the least. No story line and who cares where Sabine lives. I guess from here it can only get better.

Very poor, it's 50/50 if I watch next week, Evans was terrible, Matt Le Blanc I'll give a second chance to. The item with Sabine was frankly embarrassing.

Needs to improve.........quickly !

 

[SeanDezart]

Sabine has no sense of humour and should play it straight - geographically handicapped already, she makes no effort.

 

[MikeB]

You see Sean, you'll never make an actor, no good at taking direction

They are my toughts also. We must give it a chance & see how it pans out, but first impression was not good.

I'll just play out my own role Mike.

Chris was pretty bad and came across like he was really really trying to be Clarkson. He needs to play himself. Matt was good and made me laugh. The show was very much in the flavour of the last season of top gear. Very scripted and not very believable.

Nail on head it was Chris trying to be Clarkson that really got my goat.

Just the same as that other **** car show Clinton Crisp ( :lol or what ever his name is. Just very stale, no passion and stiff.

Agreed - what a git !

 

[samuri-240]

That did not last long !

 

[SeanDezart]

Good ! Wrong man for the job from the start - next move - fire the wench !

Doubt if it will make it back now in the same format, it's clearly had it day.

That's it though - change the presenters - change the format - the Beeb need to be imaginative now and work WITH some new presenters and their ideas !

 

[uk66fastback]

I haven't watched it for years as it doesn't feature cars in which I have any interest ... National Geographic fulfils my habit much better.

 

[Alphabettispaghetti]

They can't/wont change the format as they've sold the 'format' and show to so many countries.

Doomed then.

 

[bluejon]

Everything in life can be improved. The format of TG now is not what is was in the past, so it just needs to modernise once again. There must be so much they can do with it if they engage their imaginations, presenters and audience. IF they have the will to do that .. the format was already withering in the last couple of years of Clarkson et al and it will continue along that path without reinvention

 

[SeanDezart]

Yep, already stale under the shadow of Clarkson at the end leading them to do sillier and sillier things. A ssaid, a bit of imagination required to save the show and their investment/sales.
