BBC Top Gear - Series 23 discussion thread

[TS7]

I suppose it's because everyone has instilled subconscious warmth / liking for Matt because he was Joey

 

[snowdog]

Honestly surprised at the pro-LeBlanc comments on here, he seems incredibly wooden and artificial to me.

Because I love him (no homo).

Fav char from Friends, and I also watched his own show (Joey) and enjoyed that very much/

 

[Vertigo]

Its because even though he's crap, hes better than Chris Evans

Crap is better than Chris Evans

 

[DJMK4]

Clarkson's twitter is going nuts at the moment with people tweeting, lol

 

[Kanifee]

Chris Evans is a massive pleb and a serious detractor, I get the impression he is imitating some of Clarkson's mannerism to make sure the Top Gear template they are using works.

I prefer Leblanc of all of them but really don't like it at all.

Evans is being Evans, don't know what else you lot were expecting. It's like you all say you can't stand evens but you have no idea what he's like? Have you never watched TGI or anything else Evans has been involved with?

Mind boggles.

 

[dacads]

Could they have picked two worse guests than this?

 

[Skeeter]

Wtf? Zero context at all or explanation of the new track?

 

[Domo]

Those audience shots. If North Korea did Top Gear.
It does seem awfully forced - Evans is trying too hard but I'm willing to give it time. Not going to give up yet.

 

[jellybeard999]

Im not sure I like the celebrity top trumps segment :s I didn't really like old SIARPC either. Rally cross is interesting though

 

[Vertigo]

So, the one prize jewel of the old show and the one thing I'd personally have kept - the track - is the one thing they've changed.

I was thinking the same, seems very North Korean like!

 

[slick rick]

So its awful then?

 

[Ryan-3]

Switched it back on as my episode ended. This won't last another series. What have they done to the track?!

I haven't seen him on anything since the old TGI so I'd hoped he had become less of a pillock in his old age. But no

No, didn't know who/what he was. He's just an annoying ginger apparently, trying to imitate Clarkson .

 

[Bagpu55]

Tried to watch it but I cant stands no more..its pants. Make it different at least.

It's not so much that, allow me to quote some body who knew what he was talking about.

He is without any talent. All he can do is small talk. The smartest thing I ever heard him say was "good morning". The moment I saw him talking, I thought "you're an idiot". The best I can wish him is an early death.

Yup that pretty much nails it I think.

 

[Vertigo]

Wait until the clapping dies down a little Matt you muppet.

Zero presenting skills whatsoever.

It's still there. You just saw the viper do a lap

Haven't they just added the off road section on to the side?
