New top gear lineup..

Really sad episode

. I do hope they get a deal on netflix or somewhere else without advertising to limit them. I tried to think after it of the best film they've ever done and without a doubt, for me it has to be this:

Well that was it then, the last show. Definitely the end of an era, yes you can argue that the formula was getting tired the subject matter repetitive but I don't think the chemistry that the presenters have will be replaced. Can't say I'm a Clarkson fanboy, I think he comes across as a middle class oaf and a bit of a **** at times. That said he is hugely entertaining and the world needs people who speak their minds and don't pander to the ever more PC world we have created. Chris Evans...ffs... :rolleyes:

Fully star your swearing

I'll watch the first ep with the new lineup. Gotta give it a chance, see how it is.

Loved last nights episode. Look forward to the new shows.

May: juddering...buffeting..

Read an article today that said one of the reasons ITV are so interested in the boys (the rumoured deal with Netflix isn't done yet) is because they know not only can they scoop a mega hit show but they know if they run it against Chris Evans Top Gear then they can have a mega hit show and assassinate the BBC's highest rated show in one swift blow.

Its just not going to work with Evens and co.

Really enjoyed the SUV challenge, it just reminded me of what I love Top Gear for, 3 mates having fun on some ridiculous challenge.

I can't see how the BBC expect it to work without them.

It doesn't, the new TG won't be the same format.

Apparently its also because ITV has about 0% of its programming directed at "men" and they see TG as a way to target that market

who would have thought "Peter Andre Ice skating" or "Peter Andre visits a car boot sale" or "Celebrity Gossip Island with Peter Andre" would not appeal to us :rolleyes:

Or maybe they are trying to recreate what clarkson did with finding two relatively unknown people to present with him worked out well then

Sort of, he did have to sack one of them because he was boring

Relatively unknown? May was a former Top Gear presenter and Hammond was a car show presenter on cable tv.

People don't want to adverts of ITV yet the star in a car is generally a massive advert of the stars peddling of a book/movie whatever they're involved in.

Ohh great so now its going to be adverts on top on the star in a car so 30-40mins of an show is going to be ads and the rest topgear.

Very happy to see no star in a car yesterday.

elmuzzy66. · 29 Jun 2015 at 15:33

They should have had jezza as the star in the car.

konicky · 29 Jun 2015 at 17:02

Great show, although Hammond with his goatee looked like a mini Hugh Jackman !!

Psyoletic · 29 Jun 2015 at 17:05

Not sure if it's been said, but reports are saying Clarkson and Co and closing in on a deal with either Netflix or ITV with the new show airing prime time along side new Top Gear.

Neither of these options sound ideal.

If it must be ITV, I would like to see them extend the show to allow time for the ads and a full 1 hour show.

As for netflix, I don't have a subscription, as there's nothing on it I want to watch. £5.99 a month to watch top gear seems a bit rich, on top of the already expensive cable package.
