What are your thoughts on the first episode tonight? So far, Chris Evans is trying too much to be like Jeremy.

I wish they had tried a new format rather just copy the original.
Roll on the new Amazon show.

I think this sums it up perfectly David, I reckon the new Amazon show with Clasrkson and co with be excellent.

Joey is actually a lot better than I thought he was going to be.

The bbc haven't even bought a new sofa for the interviews lol.

Bit shlt , but it'll take a while for it to find its feet and natural rhythmn. Liked the rally cross bit more than the old celebrity format.

I thought it wasn't bad. Evans said himself there was nothing wrong with old Top Gear format, so I wasn't expecting it to be too much of a diverse from the original. I think they will find their own way after a season or two. Perhaps playing it a little safe at the moment. For me Le Blanc was definitely the surprise of the show...I thought he was excellent. Chris Evans' voice though :worried:

Tough crowd you lot!

I thought it was excellent, Le Blanc is very good.

Looking forward to seeing what Chris Harris adds to the show, I think he will be in it from next week.

No such thing as giving it a fair shot that's for sure.

Altho anyone would be better than that onion Clarkson!

I enjoyed it tbh, you can tell they haven't quite settled in yet so it should be interesting to see what the others bring.

Has potential to be fair, chris trying a bit too hard, matt le blanc was very watchable and will turn out to be a worthy addition to the lineup. Sounds like a good car lineup next week

Dreadful and cringe worthy. A total waste of time.
Without the Clarkson script this programme is going to struggle.

I thought it was very poor, more or less the same format as before from start to finish, they should of took the chance to shake it up a little and make it they're own. I was actually cringing for chris Evans...Leblanc wasn't so bad!
