Post by Surrey Sam » Thu Dec 24, 2015 12:43 am

Unknown?

Where has that jerk journalist been living for the last decade?

Exactly!
CH is the BEST motoring journalist in the game IMO and this just signifies just how far removed from cars the show has become....hopefully Chris Evans and pull it back to its routes

Certainly up there, I'd have quite liked Harry Metcalfe in the line-up for a more senior take on things, but understand the need for a female. Anything was better than Jodie...she was painful to watch alongside Quentin.

I saw this yesterday and was quite impressed really although I'd got a feeling Suzy Perry was going to be the bird element and thank fook she ain't .

Yep, I'd have liked to see Harry M there too. And when Evans was rattling on the radio the other week about visiting a small picturesque village in Oxforshire called Shilton (on my doorstep), I could only think he'd been visiting Harry's.......

Still, should be good - two very handy drivers and a enthusiastic over-grown kid.

Not sure about Evans. Anyone watched TFIF? It's like he still stuck in 1999 only more of an ego. He's going to have to go quite a long way not to be a <beep>.

The other two are spot on.

Very glad Harris is getting this platform, well deserved.

Coulthard in the line up too, hope he livens up a bit!

I know right, pretty much every petrol head knows who Monkey Harris and Sabine are, like mentioned, just shows how far removed from being an actual car show Top Gear had become. really looking forward to this now :)

Good line up however as a Jock myself I can say DC has about as much charisma and personality as road kill!

I was gutted when topgear came off the air, one of my favourite shows. But now looks like we'll have 2 decent car shows out of it, with Amazon picking up Jezza and crew.

Incidentally one of my other fav shows has been can'd around the same time; mythbusters. :-(

Fifth gear is back too, and had Chris Harris on the other week with Tiff.

So it seems it has now turned a compete 180 degrees and it's going to to be even less of a car show than it was before!!!

WT actual F!!!!
