    Yeh quite enjoyed it, still a copy of the old format though, the three guys are almost playing Clarkson Hammond and May, pity they can't just cone up with a new show!

  5. I agree - it was sort of OK... but same old same old...

    I hated it. Just can't get away with it. The old TG was my favourite show. Proper laugh out loud but the new one is just all wrong. They are trying to copy the old show and it doesn't wash with me.

    I watched about 20 minutes then turned it off to watch something else. Haven't bothered to go back and watch the rest of it.
    Tells me all I need to know really.
     
  8. I think the new one has potential since Evans had left

    Improved, i quite liked it. There is a chemistry developing and while Joey can act, Harris has media experience, I find Rory a breathe of fresh air as he genuinely seems to enjoy what he's doing... all the time!

    Harris hitting Joey hard in that Volvo surpassed many of the TG pranks over the years! Probably a genuine mistake and good TV :)

    I vaguely remember the introduction of Hammond and May on Middle Top Gear and I don't think they really hit it off for a few series.

    I've said it before, they should be given a chance before the internet condemns them to the bowels of hell!

    Just watched tonight's episode and I must admit I'm enjoying it.

    Quite humorous.
     
  12. Cautiously optimistic... ;)
    I sense it's beginning to have momentum.
     
  13. See why I didn't watch it?
     
  14. Just caught up with the latest episodes on erm.. catch up. You know what, I'm moving on from cautiously optimistic to quietly confident... Enjoying how it's developing. :)
     
  15. It's better than with shouty Evans anyway - beginning to warm to the presenters ( but I did hate Clarkson eventually)

  16. Good to Matt on a Ducati for the challenge against the new £2M
    Bugatti..:cool:
     
  17. Yes I'm enjoying it way more than the last few series of the old one and the new Grand Tour one :thumbsup:

  18. The bbc seemed to have restored the status quo..:)
     
  19. The last one with those crazy desert racing buggys and the new Ford was the best yet. I haven't even bothered to make it past episode 3 of the Grand tour as the scripted humour and trying to be controversial just seems so dated to me now.
