tom_gr7 Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Did you watch Top Gear last night? What are your thoughts? I thought I'd give it a try and see what it was like. I lasted 26minutes and had to turn it off44 as I simply cannot stand Chris Evans. Discuss... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majik_thighs Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Very disjointed.... it looked rushed and cobbled together. You can see just how much input the 3 amigos & Andy Wilman put into the old show and helped it run so smoothly. Hopefully it`ll get better.

stants Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Agreed, bunch of !Removed! He's OK on radio 2 or tfi back in the day but the whole thing looked like it was trying too hard, should have gone for an entirely new concept, I turned off just before star in car, Anyone watch further ? If so what was Chris Harris input ? Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobyghost Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Dreadful. The voice over was monotonous and seemed so forced. Especially from Matt. I know the old show was scripted but they made it feel natural. This new version was painful to watch. Might tune in for the next one for a broader opinion but not likely to stick with the whole season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 I didn't want to boost its ratings in anyway so I downloaded it this morning. Painfully bad to watch. Chris just shouts tried to hard to be like Clarkson. Matt voice just drones but yet it thought the nomad car sketch was the best bit about the whole show. BBC have destroyed it imo. I did read they was 5 million viewer's below expected ratings 😊 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandals Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Was down right terrible... It was all clearly staged. I was hoping that Chris Harris would redeem it but he didn't even make an appearance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobyghost Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 He was in the New BBC 3 series. I forgot the name but it seemed to be sold as a behind the scenes show of the actual top gear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Ah the channel you can only watch online! Pile of !Removed!, maybe I'm getting too old but if I want to watch TV I'll watch TV If I want to watch stupid **** online I use YouTube, Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandals Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 You should check out Chris Evans' twitter feed... he's clearly delusional. I reckon a lot of people watched it out of curiosity, thot it was terrible and will not watch again... like me! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tezmil1 Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 It was poor and amateurish, very false and why did they have to try and copy everything that jezzer used to say, this made it cringeworthy. Top gear has always been one of my favourite programmes but not now, and why keep shouting. Never ever liked evans in any way nothings changed. Matt le blanc has no real personality in fact a boring sod who doesn't seem to want to get hands dirty, the other 3 used to bodge up their cars to get through the challenges but he just sat in it on a tow truck. all in all a right load of crap!

Jay762 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Cannot stand Chris Evans - didnt watch the new top gear, wont be watching any of the series. Guys I worked with at one point insisted on Radio 2 for morning listening - thought he was dire on air also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majik_thighs Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 And how that ginger tawt has accrued a multi million pound fortune for being a loudmouth waste of skin is a feckin mystery that would thwart Scooby Doo & gang!

Rizmo Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Total waste of quarter of an hour - I turned it off after that, and watched Lewis, which was far more interesting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Agreed I won't be watching it again I doubt anything...... well maybe if it has !Removed! in it will make me watch it again 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattiekane Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 All I could hear was Clarkson talking in a stupid voice haha a little disappointed with Matt(aka Joey) little mono tone for my liking. Over all:- Disappointed D- could of tried harder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Wilkinson Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 So disappointed. They barely cover the new cars and focus more on the guests. I thought extra gear would be good, but they don't have any banter... it's just stale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Wilkinson Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Dear topgear. New plan. Episode 3 shows promise. Get rid of bad Chris and replace him with good Chris. Keep Matt and add Rory to the proper show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gambit Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 Yeah to be fair when I heard it got naked and started twerking. I'm now banned from my local spar shop but it was worth it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
