Hmm, well, I sort of quite enjoyed the latest episode with the R8 V10, Focus RS and the drive around London. I'll get me coat...

It seems to be finding its feet.
Quite a few people I know enjoyed it this week.

Re: [Updated] New BBC Top Gear trailer released
Personally l don't like Clarkson's arrogance sometimes when he opens his mouth but he sure is a far better TG presenter then Chris Evans in my opinion.

Neither Sabine or Chris seem to fit IMO

I have to say I agree. I don't think Chris fits in at all, and while I think Sabine could (she did work quite well the few times she was on Clarkson's Top Gear), I don't think she fits in at the moment. Maybe it's because they haven't got used to each other, and maybe she needs to appear a few more times before she starts to fit in. I don't know.

Re: [Updated] New BBC Top Gear trailer released
One of the chemistries in the Clarkson ear was that they were 3 men from middle England and so had more opportunity to deride things they didn't like/understand because of gender, race, language, upbringing, culture. Imagine a bemused sort of look at a car that comes in pink.
Much harder to get a banter going if parts of the team are "different". But not impossible, needs a lot more work though, especially with Sabine whose first language isn't English. Just think of you learning a foreign language as an adult, you keep thinking in your home language and its idiom and that like doesn't work in the target language.
One thing I'd change other than gagging Chris is the star in a car. The new format doesn't give the star much focus or time as there are 2 of them and the voting on the best car at different stages in the stars driving history.

3 presenters, not the 5, 6 or 7 it seems to have. It's hemorrhaging viewers still but expect a second series regardless due to the unique way the bbc is funded they can afford to throw 600k down the toilet every episode and not give a toss.

Re: [Updated] New BBC Top Gear trailer released
They will care if things don't improve but unlike commercial TV they can take more chances (and should do), but there is a point where they won't fund further. On commercial TV if numbers dropped so would funding -> more viewers leaving and so on.

Re: [Updated] New BBC Top Gear trailer released
The BBC are so arrogant that they will never accept that they got something wrong. Expect them to soldier on hemoraging viewers to the bitter end.

Re: [Updated] New BBC Top Gear trailer released
Chris Evans isn't coming back for the next series.
I doubt he will be missed by anyone. His presenting style just doesn't work with top gear.
