The New Top Gear, Yes or No.

I refuse to watch anything with Chris Evans in it so it's a "don't know but has to be shite" from me.

Evans is a nonce. That thing with billy piper was just weird, and I doubt he'd get away with it post yew tree. So its a no from me.

It's like a shit copycat at school........copies something but gets it very wrong.

Evans......Is that a comb over?

Top Gear was nothing more than a sitcom with three blokes and the cars were just a reason for them to be there. Clarkson the loud mouth bigoted Oaf. Hammond the little one who was just there. And May the sensible one who would occasionally be a bit of mischief. Stick some eye candy in the audience and hey presto.
Evans knows that a 50/50 love/hate reaction is a certain hit. Time will tell.

I'm wondering if that was a piss poor in-joke dig at Clarkson's issues with health and safety?

The problem is that we haven't seen the "love" half of that yet. All I've seen so far are people who hated it and people trying to convince themselves that it wasn't that bad.

For the record, I thought it was shit. I didn't get the whole UK vs. USA thing at all. Why did they have to drive Reliant Robins to Blackpool first? It made no sense.

No.

Just for comparison, here's the second episode of the Clarkson era.



Notice there's actually some chemistry between the presenters and they actually know a thing or two about cars.

Saying the North is cold, wet and shit won't win you friends up here either...........even if it's true
