Back on our screens Sunday (tonight) but on BBC1 not BBC2....,,

[davyk31]

Looking forward to this. The new team work well together.

I’ll have to remember how to find BBC1 now, I know it’s not on Netflix or Amazon.

I think from a distant memory it’s source, HDMI 3, turn Sky Box on, Channel 101. Not tried for about 6 months, hopefully still in the same place.

I'm the opposite, that's the first episode of the new setup with Harris etc I've watched and was laughing most of the way through it. Their chemistry is actually pretty reminiscent of Clarkson etc but without trying to be them. I'll more than likely actually make the effort to watch the rest of this series.

[Tengocity]

I laughed a fair bit, and definitely watched plenty worse episodes with Clarkson et al

[Rbrown]

Thought it was entertaining. Hope the others are as good.

[davyk31]

An ok episode. Appears Paddy is needing to try too hard and acting which he isn’t great at. Episodes 8n the last series were better.

[Panchoa]

Yeah agree with some of the comments....thought it was very good.....light hearted entertainment which is what we all need at the moment.

Well done to the TG team I reckon 👍🏼

[Blacktemplar]

Thought the chemistry and the daft humour was great - laugh out loud at times. But the whole ‘company car’ article was over long and a bit dull in places. Liked the studio format, looked like there were some nice motors out there.

I thought the audience looked far more varied than it ever did when I remember watching it before - it would actually have been nice to see a bit more of the cars people had turned up in, they looked pretty nice. Pretty sure there was a mint Midget in there too.

One thought I just had is that they've probably had to limit what they've done in this series with the way things are at the moment - just look at what's happened to the Grand Tour!

Seamen

They've not been able to film any big trips since going to the new format (well, Seamen excepted) - I suspect that if they were still on the old format they'd have at least been able to pull something together, ala Top Gear.

[KTE]

Haven’t watched Top Gear since the big fiasco, do like the current 3 presenters but does feel a bit forced with the silliness..

Each group of people will have their own style of banter but 2 of the races (Volvo car park, and BMW go kart track) were sabotaged and just wasn’t that funny being blinded with a duvet and pillows time and time again.

[Kendo67]

Watched it earlier , the only part worth my time was the new Fizzer which was well shot and produced.

The rest was a 10 min comedy sketch stretched out for a tiresome 50 mins.

Running £60k cars into tyre walls and joking about it , spraying coke all over the interior , climbing all over the inside + outside of new cars in the name of entertainment just didn`t do it for me.

Here`s hoping next week is a bit more "entertaining"

That could be quite a cool segment. One of them out in the car park

'WHO!? Owns this!!??' Obvs with a number plate blank out.

They've actually got one filmed and edited (Clarkson announced on drivetribe on YouTube earlier in the year). Amazon have it and get to release it at their leisure.

I'm wondering if they wanted to let Top Gear go first...

[HighlandPete]

I 'switched off' when they started climbing over the three cars. Totally irresponsible behaviour. A young audience watch them and many aspire to be like them.

I "switched it off" when they added to their juvenile stupidity, of pillows and duvet all over the place and out of the window.

I'll be giving them a miss.

[saltyamigo]

Watched it, it was funny in places but it seems to be all about the presenters now, the cars are side shows. They barely mentioned any of the pro's and cons or features of any of the 3 cars, even the races were pointless the way they were done. Wasn't impressed how they treated £150K worth of cars, you can crash by accident but clambering all over them was unnecessary, made me wince, I worry about dings in a car park.
