BBC Top Gear - Series 23 discussion thread

[Nasher]

I'm hearing an Evans noise but just not taking in what he's saying. Maybe it's the pitch of his voice? It's a bit like a nagging wife sound.

I think the new track looks good though (the only thing I've liked so far). I bet some crazier guests will get some serious air on it

 

[Smeghead]

That was absolutely dire. Chris trying to drum up some excitement by getting the audience to clap after a little jump was so cringey.

 

[DJMK4]

To put it bluntly, and in the name of the true hosts


It's "GOPPING"

 

[GSDog]

Haven't even smiled yet alone laughed, just seems a bit awkward. The first sequence seemed totally pointless and boring. I hope it improves.

 

[Silly Goose On The Loose]

I'll admit, it's not as terrible as I thought it would be. But, I thought it would be a 0/10. It's more like 0.5/10.

But I agree, they've done the thing they promised they wouldn't do: old Top Gear

 

[Skeeter]

Annoyingly, there's some cool cars burried in the ****.

 

[DAIR]

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.

My thoughts exactly. I didn't like the small audience in the original show. This time around the audience looks massive.... Just filled with shed loads of people with forced smiles hoping to get their 5 seconds of fame.

Evans is the wrong presenter, they dropped the ball

 

[Jano]

Can I downgrade my opinion from terrible to whatever is worse than terrible? Who on earth thought this was a good idea?

 

[The Mad Rapper]

Total crap. We've given up. Won't be watching it again.

Wooden delivery. Boring script. And if I hear Chris Evans whooping at the inane 'Star in a crap car' driving I am going to shoot myself in the face.

An utter, utter failure.

 

[Vertigo]

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?

Oh right, shows how much it was holding my attention lol

 

[Stumble Bum]

And we haven't even seen Eddie Jordan yet!

 

[Skeeter]

So the "New Top Gear" planning meeting went...

"Chris, be like Clarkson. Le Blanc, be like Hammond... we will find someone like May"

 

[Vertigo]

Haven't even smiled yet alone laughed, just seems a bit awkward. The first sequence seemed totally pointless and boring. I hope it improves.

I don't. I hope it flops so utterly that it gets cancelled. It's an insult to the original.

 

[Conscript]

"Chassy" *twitch*

 

[Bagpu55]

I bet Clarkson is ****ing himself

 

[Vertigo]

And we haven't even seen Eddie Jordan yet!

The Samaritans couldn't deal with the call volume.

 

[DJMK4]

Not looking good, bet Clarkson is wetting himself right now

 

[Bagpu55]

Rhymes with hissing

 

[mattyg]

Sack Chris. Keep Leblanc
