RE: General TV thread - northern156 - 13 Apr 2016
Yesterday I found myself watching Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares USA - straight into a 2-parter episode with the second part being broadcast on Channel 4 this morning at 1100. Absolutely love the show and Ramsay himself - his facial expressions sometimes are utterly brilliant when he's dealing with some right idiots.

Game Of Thrones starts on Sunday in America, really looking forward to it starting, can't wait!
I'll be watching it online, as i don't have Sky Atlantic.

Channel 4 tonight at 8pm.
Paul Murton presents Britain's Secret Stations. A documentary around some of the more unusual stops in the railway network.

Keep your eyes peeled for a documentary appearing on BBC4 later this year.
A camera has been attached to a bus and is filming an entire 40 mile section of the Dalesman route.

The BBC have done this a few times now.

There has been press release that he is worse than Clarkson backdoor, partially down to the fact he has to host his show from stupid o' clock in the morning. Even before previewing it, I'm deeply uninterested in the rebranding. I may look at an episode of the Amazon series once it's out and see if Clarkson's as annoying as previously.

I'm going to watch the full episode, it might get better.... But i doubt it, I'll not be watching it next week though.

It's the ego that gets me - the general attitude and the pretentiousness that results from it. A car magazine program very quickly becomes irrelevant and dismissed because the content doesn't actually relate to the shows core purpose and values.
RE: General TV thread - MVK 500R - 29 May 2016
I nearly turned it off at the opening titles; trying far too hard to be like Clarkson, and failed miserably.

I'm so annoyed at it because Chris Evans is just annoying as out and wants to be Clarkson.
Matt from friends, seems so out of place, its just like he is on so it makes the show diverse.... Same as that German women.

Don't like Katie Hopkings but this is her tweet:

I hate cars. But loved Top Gear. Now I can safely say I hate both #Topgear

General TV thread - Jimmi - 29 May 2016
As everybody predicted, the new look Top Gear was crap.
Chris Evens was annoying as expected, seemed like a child on a sugar rush at points and he seemed to be trying to be like Clarkson at times. Was also annoying getting the audience to cheer at just about everything that went on in the studio.
Matt seemed a bit dull and too American.
There was no magic or chemistry there at all, I was either bored or just annoyed at Chris Evens. Won't be watching this anymore, next Sunday I'll be going back to listening to Clint Boon on Radio X.
May I say congrats on those of you who found a better way to spend the last hour.
RE: General TV thread - MurdnunoC - 29 May 2016
To say something positive about the new Top Gear, I quite liked the new track with its off-road section.

General TV thread - PH - BQA - 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.

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.
RE: General TV thread - S813 FVK - 28 Jun 2016
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

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.
