Forget Brexit, this is far more important!!
After watching 4 agonising episodes, I've come to the conclusion this new team are just not suited and last night was just boring, film quality is the only thing that keeps my attention.
The most cringing part last night was having to endure Eddy Jordan banging away with some old spoons. He is just not an all round entertainer, he should have stayed with F1 where he belongs.
As for "Good Air" being said every week.....Noooooooooooooooo!
So a poll is needed!

Not sure yet. I just watched episode 4 and it seems to be improving (less forced, they are becoming more comfortable with it, at least it seems that way to me).

I reckon i watched every single one of the original.. can't comment on the new one, not seen it and probably won't bother, not a Chris Evans or cheers fan.  |

It is all a bit sad.
The Stig is a throwback to Jeremy's public schooldays and watching the new crew mimicking the expressions, intonations and antics of their predecessors is somewhat pathetic.
The innovation amounts to ideas like, hey instead of a star in a reasonably priced car, let's have two in a rally car and have a muddy bit, wow.
The budget and outstanding quality of the filming still makes it worth a watch if you can put up with the always irritating Evans and downright boring Jordan.

I'm very firmly a petrolhead.
TG has been positively excruciating for a LONG while, and I've successfully more-or-less avoided it for probably a decade. I've not watched any of this series, and I have zero intention of watching it. I really didn't think it could be any worse than it was, but - apparently - I was wrong.

The only thing makes it watchable is there is nothing else on that time Sunday
Ginger is even trying speak like clarkson
The unknown presenters are actually the best segments
Not even able to justify the waist of licence fee anymore

I'm amazed, there are 2 "Better than ever" voters, yet no-one has said anything positive as to why it is so wonderful.

Mod hat on - skippyonspeed why would anyone want to present their counter arguement when you post like that? Remember the first rule of the forum - be polite, be constructive. (By the way, I didn't vote at all) |

It's no surprise that Evans has resigned from TG today........I have watch all 6 programmes and thought there was a slight impovement......but on second thoughts I think my standards have dropped!!!
Now, I think Jordan and Schmitz should also go...........best replacements I suggest are Steve Coogan and Rowan Atkinson, both have extensive motoring knowlege and both may bring some intelligent and original comedic talent to show which it has been sadly lacking. The yank has been growing on me and I think he could gel with SC & RA.

Latest news from the BBC is the planned highlights show will be a record breaking show, in that it will be the shortest programme they have ever made......they may scrap it altogether because critics may accuse them of broadcasting a subliminal message.

Hmmmmm.....ok.....I'll bite.....not sure where to start.......Ah, I know have you heard of John Logie Baird?.......no wait....this came before that......Have you heard of the Internal Combustion Engine? Edit I just noticed your signature.....I hate to be the bearer of bad news.....but I think the dragons may have got you last night.
