Gordon Ramsay and Jesse Eisenberg... It's the obvious combination.
BBC Top Gear - Series 23 discussion thread
- Thread starter a1ex2001
- Start date
The interaction between the presenters seems forced. I don't mind Chris Evans on other shows but for some reason he annoyed the hell out of me on this. The gags don't work as well without the chemistry from before. This just made me miss the old top gear.
It sucks right now, but maybe it will take a season to settle down.
The "real" top gear could be good if they manage to make it appear unscripted.

is it heresy to say the program remains rubbish , like the previous clarkson led holy triumvirate.
I guess this thread does not reach the accolades of the motors thread because there is agreement its relevance to motoring is tenuous.
leBlanc dry presentation seems to take the **** out of the format - amusing
A pity Sabine cannot become first female/unmasked stig - she might have something genuinely interesting to say about the cars, with her genuine driving pedigree.
Does audience continue to get payed to attend at studios, hard to understand why people would attend otherwise.
Only disappointment with the series's ultimate bbc demise will be that the international revenues will no longer be available to subsidise other more worthwhile bbc productions.
At least with top gear on amazon effectively pay if you want to view - hopefully amazon will soon see the error of their ways, just hope in the interim my purchases are not subsidising $7mill/episode too much.
Bring back a genuine motoring programme - that would be the courageous thing for the bbc to do

Main Show was not to bad, not great though
Top Gear extra was much better, more of Chris Harris needed!

Thought it was a bit dire myself.
Though I suppose it was always going to be a hard series to re-invent.

thumbs up for Extra Gear on BBC 3, the actual show was a bit meh

Watching now... What the ****?!

Don't really mind it TBH. Chris I can take or leave. Mat L has a likeable character anyway. Will watch again.
Sabine annoys me, yeah she's a good driver but people seem to praise her higher than she is because she's an average looking woman who likes cars, Evans was annoying all episode, what's he shouting for? Matt wasn't as bad as I expected, could easily take over from Chris as the main host and **** that ginger **** off.

I gave up after 15 mins. I tried, despite not liking Evans, but it's not to be for me. Roll on whenever what's it called starts.

Except for the fact that the people who made that format work aren't there any more, so now it's just terrible
I'm normally alright with Chris Evans's stuff, but that/he was awful. Le Blanc I actually thought was OK and partially saved the episode.
The rumours last week of the studio audience getting cheesed off seemed true, every shot of them had at least a few looking fairly unimpressed.
What the hell is the off-road track all about as well? :/ SIARPC just became even worse.
Yeah, except it was done MUCH better and funnier.

Thought it was okay, Chris Evans needs to calm down/relax a little in the studio but other than that I liked it.
I think if Chris/Matt were just standing in for the original presenters (due to some obscure reason) I think it would have been well received but with the whole exit background of Clarkson and co I suspect this will get roasted as people love to jump on the whole put down bandwagon.

Watching now. Why is he trying to be Clarkson. Its like a naff tribute to the old format. I was hoping me team new style. Its not awful just a bit annoying.
