That’ll close the gap to TGT.

the race to the bottom ? they're/discovery now advertising another derivative hammond series - big engineering.
ok it will provide a bit more exercise for the brain.

That was a bit crap. Chris H is just not funny and is cringeworthy when he is forced to try.

That Rory chap gone for good now?

Having met him he's actually a very funny bloke.

I quite like Chris H but on TG I just think hes trying too hard. Much prefer his normal style when he was just on You Tube.

As for the Nepal Special. Really enjoyed the episode. Much better than TGT offering.

The fake laughing was some of the worst

Plastic or metal?

Only half way through, but I agree on those overtakes. Proper cringe tine, do they even have to pass a test there?

Nasher · 1 Jan 2020 at 19:39

Probably not and even they do good luck policing those roads lol

Felt like a copy paste of South American challenge CHM did especially with the mountain road segment.

I think it is more he just has the wrong people around him to work with. As with previous attempts one of Flintoff or McGuinness might work but both of them plus Chris just leaves something missing it needs that other person who'll bring it all together in a way the current three don't.

Yeah very true. McGuinness ans Flintoff are okay but their style is so different from Chris. Thought Matt Le Blanc worked well with him though.

Chris needs Tiff Needell, then add a hot chick mechanic. Done.

Nothing wrong with either of them individually but I don't think either play off Chris very well though to be fair I thought Flintoff and Chris were starting to mesh quite well in the special.

I like Matt Watson from Carwow, he'd be an interesting addition to work with Chris.

he was bloody awful

Glanza · 17 Jan 2020 at 13:56

Wonder if they've changed the format for the new season as that only shows Chris Harris.

wez130 · 17 Jan 2020 at 21:33

Well that's interesting! If they've changed the other 2, it'll be the 2nd best kept secret in the history of TG after the stig

poosemon · 18 Jan 2020 at 16:43

think there have been other trailers with the 3 of them? Title of that one is just the "cars of topgear" and as Harris tends to do the bulk of the road tests make sense he's the only one in.

Heres another trailer for the new season showing the three of them....Plenty to look forward to

For those interested, it starts again this Sunday at 8pm.
