bayside_supra Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I really like it. They have changed the format enough to differentiate it and the chemistry is getting there too. Plus Chris Harris is getting more screen time and he is one of the best motoring journalists around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el_bandido Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Plus Chris Harris is getting more screen time and he is one of the best motoring journalists around. Not watched it yet, but I've been watching Chris Harris on youtube for years; might check in on Top Gear now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodec j Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I'm happy with it so far and last nights was the best so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 it has potential but does seems a little contrived at times, but then so often did the old Top Gear. Adhering probably too closely to the old format which I felt was getting a bit tired anyway so could do with a change of material, maybe into more real world rather than focussing on £200k supercars and top of the line Porsche 911's.

ripped_fear Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Big fan of it. Has had a nice refresh and I reckon once they loosen up after a series or two it will be a good watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 The format is fine, i don't want to watch a program about everyday cars. Top Gear when it was at its best will be hard to beat or even match Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Out of the old topgear it was the celebrity part i hated the most.. Now they've stretched that out to nearly the full show. Ill never watch it "live" as such but download or record it so i can skip all that tosh. The 3 presenters are ok though although need more chemistry but that will come.

Frank Bullitt Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Not great, it's just the old show with 3 different presenters and a slightly extended celeb appearance. I think the BBC have realised they have shot themselves in the foot and are desperately trying to claw back viewing figures, they even went back to using the old track! Time will tell but I am not bothered about watching as it airs anymore, will be okay to record and watch where there is nothing else on.

T2 MSW Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Ive quite enjoyed the new series, don't rush to the telly on a sunday to watch it but will watch it on catch up. Quite like Chris Harris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamesmark Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I can't believe am about to say this but I would rather have and watch Vicky Double-Barrel then those 3. It's painful at best, the content is actually very good, but Le White and the coloured guy, ffs are bad. It's false and awkward at best, although Chris Harris is good on it though.

k222bye Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I actually enjoy watching old fifth gear episodes on YouTube. Haha. People expect huge things from top gear because the old one was such a massive success. That being said im not a huge fan of the grand tour. This new top gear format is pretty good in my opinion. None of this would have happened if jezza didn't think he was mike tyson and tried to uppercut someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annabella Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 It's better now GT has gone, that probably goes without saying. Chris Harris is the best of the three, just wish they'd stop trying to force it as it's cringeworthy at times. Rory does my head in. Content was good last night, much better than first show, particularly the pointless car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bailey Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Ive enjoyed the first two episodes, loved that Ferrari FXX K and the Alfa Romeo Guila! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 They certainly don't flow together anything like the old 3 but i can live with that now the GT has gone Chris Harris just about saves the show at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraAyf Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 I switched the TV over from TG to the Channel-4 News. Sorry chaps but I think it's a load of bollox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a98pmalcolm Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Yer its deffo watchable now... Before its was just cringe, not funny and well... just rubbish. Its funny how I said to my friends they need to make it matt, Roy and chris as the main 3 and not change the platform too much, Roy and Matt are very natural, Chris seems a little amateur but will come more natural to him I think over time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
