Not that the remaining team are any better, but he was the worst part of a whole rotten fruit.
They feel like "agency staff" working to cover maternity leave.

Re: Chris Evans leaves Top Gear
I heard somewhere that Matt Leblanc gave the producers an ultimatum. Him or Evans.

Chris Harris is the best of the bunch and he can drive, give meaningful commentary at the same time, and has a real enthusiasm for cars. There's a reason he was so popular on YouTube.
Sabine is good fun when she's behind the wheel, less so when she's in the studio.
Leblanc is funny, and seems to be settling in.
Rory - early days, he's ok.
Eddie Jordan - now we're talking. Eddie is the man! And that performance on the spoons, what a genius. Just kidding. I wish someone would lock him in the boot of a very small car!

Re: Chris Evans leaves Top Gear
Ah, well different perspectives I guess. Maybe I'm unable to gauge them impartially without comparing them to Jezza, Hammond and Captain Slow.FaisalJ wrote:Got to disagree thereq7_Not_So_newbie wrote:[CLAPPING HANDS SIGN] [CLAPPING HANDS SIGN] [CLAPPING HANDS SIGN]. Little blessings.

I definitely didn't like the whole 6 man team thing either though. Nah. I don't like that at all.
I agree that Chris Harris is a great car enthusiast, but in my eyes, he's the equivalent of AutoExpress. Where as TopGear is, (well, WAS) meant to be like EVO.
Re: Chris Evans leaves Top Gear
That's a perplexing statement, Monkey Harris was Evo. Top Gear IS Top Gear, it has its own magazine and it is <beep>. Evo and TG are worlds apart in terms of journalistic style and approach to creating each edition.q7_Not_So_newbie wrote: Ah, well different perspectives I guess.

Re: Chris Evans leaves Top Gear
Much agreed, i like harris a lot he's a really good bloke, his acting skills in the studio need some work but his overall persona especially when in a car is spot on.bam_bam wrote:That's a perplexing statement, Monkey Harris was Evo.

He's a good driver and a honest car fan that knows his stuff.
I dont mind Sabine either, shes a bit wooden and the scripted jokes are bad, but i think if she just did her own thing it would be ok!
LeBlanc i have had no much time for until he did a review on the last episode, hes so much better when he's not reading the script and he's being himself i actually enjoyed listening to him.
Rory i actually like, he's down to earth, carries his reviews well and genuinely seems a reasonably funny kinda guy!
The two people on there i wish to see no more of are evans and jordan! ones gone, just Eddie to put up with now!

Re: Chris Evans leaves Top Gear
I think they're all pretty good when not doing the scripted parts. Chris Evans has been brilliant at live stuff all his life imo. I've grown up watching big breakfast, don't forget your toothbrush, TFI and listening to him on the radio, I think he's been brilliant on all of them.
The old Top Gear was pretty dump when scripted.

Re: Chris Evans leaves Top Gear
First episode of the new series was much better with Evans gone and more Harris.
Good to see the stupid off-road track binned, and good call upgrading the car!
I think the 3 guys need a bit more chemistry though. Hopefully will come with time.
Bonus: no sign of Eddie Jordan!!
That Ferrari....bonkers

Re: Chris Evans leaves Top Gear
100% agree
Re: Chris Evans leaves Top Gear
I thought it was pretty <beep>. Scripting was waaaay too obvious and really poor chemistry. Don't see how it's any better with Evans gone.
