New Top Gear (The BBC One) - What do you think?

[Dan]

Had a busy night last night so missed it, just catching up.

I have to say it's a massive improvement on the Chris Evans one. But not as good as Clarkson.
Kind of on a par with Grant Tour. Sort of have two the same though now.

What do you think?

I hated Chris Evans and that stupid half rally half road lap they used to do. I am glad they have sorted it for this series.

 

[Alpha man]

It's Pants, the presenters are ok, but change the format and no more supercars!!

 

[Meady]

Loads better, I really like it. Much much better than last series.

 

[Dan]

I liked the off roading thing they did that was cool.

 

[Harvest Fields]

I did not know it was back on. Only watched 1 episode with Evans. Not really a fan of his. May give the new one a look though.

Was flicking through and caught the Saudi race episode something made me stick around and watch the rest of the episode, bearing in mind I've only watched one episode of GT - over produced and over scripted typical American TV and one of Evans top gear which I didnt mind. Repeats on Dave are still the best thought..

No charisma on the show imho it needs scrapping altogether and complete rebrand

 

[Dan]

I thought tonight was pretty cool.

I just say it's actually better than GT again. I think they've done a good job to turn it around.

 

[Harvest Fields]

Dam, missed it again.

 

[Dan]

IPlayer it.

 

[townfanjon]

+1 from me , liked the Cuban bit .

 

[Dan]

I want to go there before it changes. Although that said now trump is in maybe their sanctions won't be lifted.

Going Cuba for two weeks in October for my honeymoon
Though I recon it changed enough after Castro death and Obamas reign

I think (and hope) it'll take a good few years, maybe a generation or two, before it actually changes.

People get stuck in their ways big time.

Nothing like a dose of good old capitalism to change up a country
