He's not even a real baby kangaroo.
It'll be good
It'll be shit
It's not proper top gear
Clarkson is a nob
Clarkson is god
Evans is a nob
Evans is good
Hitler
Racist
Bike helmets
Ooh Sabine
Why won't someone think of the children
There, think that covers it
There, think that covers it
Brilliant. 🙂
Not watching coz I am already bored ...
As someone who has read the books, I can tell you Chris Evans dies at the end.
FFS! No spoilers!

Is he a national treasure?

Top Gear? I've completed it mate.
It's not even about car reviews anymore. I much preferred it when they wore cords and sensible shoes, like Capatianflashheart, while testing driving an Austin Princess.
My understanding is that the first episode is ok, the second episode will be pretty good.
Oh dear I just saw a clip of that new TG advertised for tomorrow night. Yuck! I just hope there will be something good to watch on other channels.
And here's a better photo of JC doing a Chris Evans,

Ah, memories of Tiff Needell days and before. Of course there's Fifth Gear, but to be honest it really is crap. But then car reviews for the average person are boring these days, because average people buy average boring cars.

That doesn't spoiler anything, cheered me right up.

PMSL
If in doubt press the red button - you know the one that turns it off
Nearly upon us
Let the hate BEGIN!
I am watching country file.
Wild Things here
I hate it already.
Woohooo ... other channels are showing ...
BBC One - Antiques Roadshow
Channel 4 - Yeti: Myth, Man or Beast?
Channel 5 - New: Egypt: Secrets of The Sphinx
I think I might watch Channel 4 but any of those channels are better than seeing some irritants driving cars.
I'm going to be hating it later.
So you'll do anything thing to avoid watching it chewkw, yet you are responsible for 20% of the posts on this thread. Makes sense.
So far they've not changed enough and the ginger winger is trying too hard to be Clarkson and is already annoying 🙁
Oh dear.
Sounds and looks like old top gear with new faces doing the same old....
Fail. 😥
Opportunity missed I fear 😐
Hmmmm.
Sorry, but I liked the old version and I'm enjoying the new one.
Haters [s]can just **** off[/s] gonna hate

***ing hell this is awful. The old show joked that it was written by 4 year olds, but this seems as if it really was. I wish they'd stop trying to be funny.
Top Cringe.
8 minutes. Then off.
He just sounds a bit squeaky
But then I always thought Jeza was an absolute pro at doing his job unlike others
Hmm mm. Bit early but 5/10 so far.
Might have to get one of them Amazon dongle thingies.
He's just beyond smug.
Off.
He's doing too many Jeremeyisms, too much like the old TG. I wanted it to be something new, not Chris Evans pretending to be JC.
16 mins and off!
It's missing the rapport of the previous one. 😥

Agreed.
It's like a parody of an alternative universe. The drawl and the other bloke sound isolated and bizarre. Sabina looks aged(?). They should have tried a new format. Not copied the old
I thought she looked aged as well
I thought Matt let blanc played a character who was a bad actor on friends....turns out he's just a bad actor.... also why does Chris Evans look like a gay mountaineer at the start of the reliant piece.
I'm out.
The Clarkson format was tired and needed an update, golden opportunity wasted.
They should have tried a new format. Not copied the old
When it was first announced that Evans was taking it on he made a big point of saying that it won't be like the last Top Gear - that obviously went out of the window then!
nope! its off now.
More hmmm.
Le Blanc isn't actually that bad.
better than Hammond anyway.
I give up!
Gone, very poor.
I guess they went for "if it's not broken" but it just sounds forced.
Well that Blackpool trip was exciting I must say .
Sack them ,bring the 3 idiots back fast !
The echo in the studio is really starting to bug me
What utter rubbish.
Cant stand Matt Leblanc, what a complete bell end. Evans is a big spanner too.
*pokes with a stick*
Come on, come on you can make it!
*pokes*
To give it the benefit of the doubt, the old crew had years of getting things dialled. But I'm not feeling the love thus far.
Forced, very forced.
Le Blanc is awful Jessie yes a better sense of humour.
Google search revealed no Chris Harris tonight, so nothing of interest, first 2 minutes gave little hope.
WHY IS HE SHOUTING SO MUCH?!
Come on Nomad make the last 35 minutes worth it.
Why anyone thought this would work with Chris Evans, and to a lesser extent Matt Le Blanc is beyond me.
I should add, they are both good at what they do, but just seemed like a wrong fit. Too much baggage and preconceptions with both. Could have got some more up and commer types from the world of TV/Sport and it would have worked better as it would be coming from a blank slate. You get Mr Evans involved, and already you've lost a lot of your audience.
Actually, scrub the first bit. Bin Evans, put Le Blanc front and centre and surround him with the fresh faces. It really is Evans that is going to kill this.
Le Blanc is growing on me...
Evans I could cheerfully put in a blender. He's trying too hard to be JC.
Le Blanc isn't at all bad in this feature
Get rid of Evans and sack the soundman in the studio. LeBlanc feature in mind is actually enjoyable.
Is it Matt LeBlanc or Joey from friends presenting?
Too many british references to remind us they have a Murican presenting.
Filming style is the same. I echo the previous comments, too much like old top gear,but without the presenters who made that good imo.
I prefer Le Blanc to Evans
Le Blanc is the star of the show for me. He's made me laugh at times. Think he's really good.
Yep prefer LeBlanc
Drunk puppet got a laugh
Evans needs to stop shouting/ screeching
Starting to think Evans uses a voice changer on his radio show...
Le Blanc was good in the Nomad feature. I want a Nomad.
Blimey that really is quite rubbish !
The bbc have made a right balls up there, I bet Clarksons laughing his socks off
Yep. A garage with an Atom and a Nomad in would be nice.
Le Blanco is totally saving this for me. Can't belive they haven't changed more of the formula though :-/
They've tried turning his short comings in filming into a sort of softer version of May with the Yank as a form of gruff male thing.
It's almost like its a 'they've gone on holiday so here is the stand in BBC radio crew.
Tug?
A **** joke?
really?
