Ye, i thought that was quite good.


General TV thread - mb134 - 29 May 2016

Was out tonight, so missed the new Top Gear, seems that pretty much everyone is hating it?

I'll give it a go when I wake up, but after reading these comments I don't expect I'll be watching it for too long,

How is Matt Le Blanc?

To me, he was ok however he seemed to be out of place sometimes, he didn't understand why he was on the show.

Just finished watching it, I thought Matt was good, but at times it all felt very awkward.

I think I'd watch the next episode, but Chris Evans is really quite annoying.

There's a documentary on ITV at the mo, which is behind the scenes at Stockwell bus garage.

It's the last episode of the current series of Top Gear next Sunday. I was bored this morning so I stuck BBC iPlayer on and watched Extra Gear and my god, it was so much better.

The logo for Clarkson, Hammond and May's new show, The Grand Tour, was released this morning by Clarkson himself via Twitter: https://twitter.com/JeremyClarkson/status/747824179739824133

Logo is quite good.

Not keen on "Top Gear", Chris Evans is just annoying...

Yeah I quite like it too, despite what some of the people who have responded to the tweet say.

As for Top Gear, it was reported the other day that Le Blanc was threatening to leave the show providing Evans isn't sacked. Based on what has been reported, I don't think the ratings will see another series being made any time soon but who knows what will happen I guess.

Not much hope for Top Gear now unfortunately. I found Le Blanc too boring and neutral for my liking. Maybe its just me not fully getting used to the switch of presenters though - the change in personality was great.

Him and Cameron present it together..


Knew it would flop, far to many presenters, Chris Evan's big ego spoilt it for me.
