Joeman Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 It wasn't advertised very well, it's almost like they just wanted to sneak it out without any fanfare or fuss.Maybe they secretly know it's not great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mailee66 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Yep got to agree with everyone else, it was tosh. I thought I would give it a look for Sabine Scmitt but turned over too late to see her. Had to admit Matt le Blanc was great and i could watch it with him as one of the presenters but as for Chris Evans, no way, I hated him on the radio and am not impressed with him presenting this. Might watch one or two more so long as Sabine is in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tPIC Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 (edited) I think I preferred the iplayer extraGear episode to the main programme. More of Sabine.Chris Harris didn't come across as well as I'd hoped he would, although his Nomad lap was pretty decent.Overall less contrived cheesy pranks than the main show. Let's see how it develops. Edited June 1, 2016 by tPIC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGD217 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 I've heard the Extra Gear is meant to be really good, so yet to catch up on that.Wasn't a fan of the main show tbh, long time (old) top gear fan here.Chris Evans was very very annoying but Matt LeBlanc was tolerable and funny in parts - much the better presenter.

onesea Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Starting from the point that Top Gear with the combination of Hammond Clarkson and May (no mater how great a team) was becoming stagnant or to restricted by the BBC. The new top gear either had to reformat or was never going to be great, how was it for me a poor copy of passed a show already passed its glory. Mat got closest to the mark but was well short and sounded like he had his scripped written by clarkson.The Lap & New course whats that about? I am no expert on this but from what I can see the old course was good and had large history of lap times. The New course is more difficult and intimidating for non petrol head drivers, I am guessing lap times will be more erratic & dependant on weather... Plus I am thinking there is greater chance of rolling the car etc, although that might actually pull some viewers in.WIll I watch the next one, yes but on IPlayer when there is really nothing better to watch and if weather is bad I will have to wait for repeat. It will be no loss.On the other hand it will be interested to watch the Old team on prime when it comes out, to see if it was them getting tired or the BBC restraints.

Oasis Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Top Gear extra is a lot better. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oasis Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Top Gear extra is a lot better. So I should watch it?Definitely mate. It's only short but I think the 2 guys should do the main show instead of Evans.Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBrightside Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 I thought that MLB was quite good, but Chris Evans was pants. With his Shite jokes, wanna be Clarkson comments and he just seemed forced. I'll watch it because it has fast cars and a bit of fun, but I really miss the old trio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Throttled Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 They are the hardest act to follow, ever! I think people should give the new guys time to settle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six30 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Don't get sucked in by Evans .. remember he's a ginger and he's trying to steal our souls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoggs Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Just watched the extra show. Loads better!! Ditch Evans get that Rory bloke to host the main one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkW Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 I haven't seen any of it, mainly because I can't stand that insufferable ginger bellend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joeman Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 I hope it doesn't continue to do UK versus USA.So what if one presenter is from America? Don't base the entire show on that one simple fact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fozzie Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Did anyone else find the 2nd episode much much better?I was actually impressed by it. It had a challenge with actual cars rather than home made ambulances or whatever. And then the challenges were interesting to boot as well! Matt Leblanc is fast improving as a presenter too. I reckon he's watching his performance and comparing it to the more useful online critique. Out in the field he does a great job as he tackles the challenge at hand and doesn't feel the need to fill it with silly lines like Evans sometimes does. The UK vs America thing should really take a bow though. I really don't care for it, but it might be to appeal to the American audiences as this will broadcast on BBC America. I do get the feeling they love a competition over the pond whereas Brits are happy to insult one another and call it a day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 I'm still not feeling it, they're starting a brand new adventure, where they're trying this whole new cast and rebranding.. The first 2 episodes feature things as if the script writers just couldn't care less.Only thing I liked was seeing that F1 GTR long tail but it was all completely edited, they are only allowed to go 70mph and they said it on the show, so all that screaming from that ginger presenter and the car screaming was bullshit.

Joeman Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 trying to watch episode two...Evan's voice is really grating - it's far too high pitched and squeaky for a "manly" car show.And whats with those stupid thick rimmed specs he wears??and Button looks like he needs a bloody good wash to get rid of the dirt/fake tan.
