Reminder - Tonight 8pm - Top Gear + Extra Gear

Post by Surrey Sam » Sun May 29, 2016 12:13 pm

Just a reminder that the return of Top Gear is tonight, on BBC2 at 8pm.

After the main show there will be an additional programe on the BBC3 live webpage & the BBC iPlayer called Top Gear:Extra Gear, which features Chris Harris. A good added bonus I hope.

No problem, it's a good day for petrolheads what with the Monaco F1 race going on now as well :thumbs:

I caught the qualifying last night as I'd recorded it and in Monaco that's often as exciting as the race too.

Same format but the addition of Chris Evans who is trying too hard!!!
Never liked him tbh, dislike him even more now, his pubs ok though

Absolutely shocking. Neither of them can present and Chris's attempt of trying to commentate on the rally cross event was a joke.

Extremely wooden although the cinematography was very good to find the possibly only good point....

Absolutely no improvisation and they were stiff as a board. I'll probably keep watching but I can't wait for Clarkson's programme on Prime.

As above.

Needed a change of presenters but this isn't a step forward, and apart from the Viper bit the cars were, err a bit rubbish (literally.)

Not a fan of Leblanc and Evans lacks the presence of Clarkson etc.

Needs to improve quickly..
