    Re: New Top Gear

    The Vulcan segment was great, but felt the Challenge wasn't that exciting. Also not sure what to make of Sabine anymore. I think she's great in general, but perhaps not cut out to be a TV personality.

    I know that it's going to take a bit of time for things to gel, but there seem to be a few fundamental elements that are still off.

      I think there are too many disparate personalities and yeah they definitely haven't gelled as of yet. Here is the team that I like personally...Chris Harris, Matt Leblanc, Rory Reid and Sabine Schmitz (she's pretty blunt and damn funny I think)...I do like the quirkiness of Eddie Jordan though. I really think that Chris Evans is annoying as "F". It would be miles better without his stupid comments. I don't like the bit with the 2 stars of the week. Too contrived IMO.

          That is almost as good news as a remain vote would be!

          It takes time to adjust the show but at least they are making changes as they go as opposed to forcing it. I do enjoy most of the films but I still find the Stars section too long and forced (always a tie to be settled by the lap) as Rod mentioned but the car reviews with Reid and Harris are showing it as a proper car show again, but I would like them to be part of a challenge to see how that would work, plus a challenge with 5-6 of them could be really interesting too.

            It looks like we aren't the only ones who don't like Chris Evans... Matt Leblanc doesn't either apparently.

              Interesting. I hope they dump Evans too.

              I kinda like Matt Leblanc as a host

                I actually think Leblanc is hilarious!

                  I finally got to catch up on Episode 5 yesterday and it was not bad, seeing Chris Harris drift on the Top Gear track is almost worth putting up with Evans. Leblanc is great though, I would be fine with him being the main guy. Only one episode left in the series!

                            This was almost bigger news than the latest Brexit sh*t at least on the BBC.

                            The next series is set to start filming in the fall, so we will see what changes besides Evans.

                              Evans charged with sexual assault.

                                He has not been charged but there is an investigation apparently on going from an incident that took place in the 1990s, he has not even been interviewed yet.
