MrsNiki Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 I was staunchly against it last week, but this week I actually thought it was ok.... Still not an Evans fan, never have been, but me and MrNiki did find it fairly funny in some parts this week And MLB's guns.... Oooooft!!!

gangzoom Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Next week will be interesting, sounds like the BBC have made up with Tesla as they have got hold of an X...Am pretty sure that piece will generate plenty of debate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrLee Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 I didn't mind Episode 2 at all. Matt is a lot better than I'd imagined, and I didn't mind Eddie Jordan either. As per what everyone else has said, Evans is the worst thing and I wish thy hadn't 'TFI Friday'd' it so much. The rally mini section is rubbish though (as is the stupid best first car thing), and Evans gloating over his new McClaren ownership was more than annoying (strangely, when Clarkson used to do that I didn't mind at all). Also, they need to stop the whole 'we don't do that anymore' stuff, the public know that Clarkson et al left, we don't need to be reminded! Other than that, it still all feels a bit like when a programme changes its lead roles and desperately hopes no-one notices too much. Oh, and let Sabine Schmitz do more, I want to see her tearing round the track. In fact, I'd have that over the stig... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juggalo Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Watched it on iPlayer. As soon as I saw the guns and rockets strapped to the cars, I switched off. CH&M can get away with that, it's their character. These guys....just cringy. And Evans is still a ***t 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hensh65 Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 I think if you just switched Evans and Harris the show would instantly be 100 times better. The comparing of the 1st car and best car section is one of the worst things on telly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Agree that there are some irritating issues, however be patient guys, it is early days, and I think that this will work, and work very well in the long term. Talent that he is/was, I was never a JC fan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derbro Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Must say 2nd episode better than 1st. Lets hope next week continues to improve. Really liked the challenge of the 3 Crossovers, it worked because of Eddie Jordan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 i fast forwarded through the star in the car crap. the cheer voting thing was just cringeworthy. rest of it didn't mind, not made my mind up on Evans yet, am willing to give him time to settle into the role. EG missed having Harris though this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stutopia Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 EG sucked, anyone for a roundup of internet based car news this week? Errr, no. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey_83 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 As much as I loved the old tg, would I honestly watch clarkson and the gang present a cooking or gardening show...... Errrrr no. I watched for the cars and thus far new tg has that so I'll keep watching. I enjoyed ep 2, would watch again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juggalo Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 It seems CH&M got more viewers of them folding DHL boxes on Youtube that TG got US viewers. TG got half the viewers than they got last week. Can't see it surviving if they keep Evans on the show. Daily Mirror poll showed 88% wanted him gone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

350zedd Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 This week was an improvement on the first one but Evans is just too loud. Why does he have to shout all the time ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will370z Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Have to say I really didn't like the first episode. Second I enjoyed and The suv section made me genuinely laugh a number of times. Tonight was good too, I'm beginning to change my mind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrLee Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Agreed... I put it down to a vastly reduced amount of ginger shoutiness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimboy2 Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Really enjoyed top gear tonight. Looks like the BBC are listening and letting MLB lead. Good to see Chris Harris and Sabine get More TV time too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey_83 Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 (edited) Tonights episode was great, happily watch that again and again!! It's actually About the cars unlike the old TG Edited June 12, 2016 by davey_83 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brillomaster Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 well that was all thoroughly enjoyable. possibly 4 of the best films i've ever seen on top gear actually! great film by CH. very informative and well presented film by rory, usual bbc showing its might closing most of london for a day for MLBs section. definitely way way better than episode 1, if they'd have opened the series with that episode it would have been a completely different story on social media the next day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRF4N Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Iv still to watch 2 and 3. Is Harris on the main show now instead of just extra gear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
