This is not good news.

Flintoff was a good cricketer. I do not undestand why TV makers are obsessed with making a personality out of him. Yeah, we geddit. He's a proper lad. He drinks beer. He's from Yorkshire. But he's shit on TV - as he has demonstrated time and time again.

A laddish TG. Oh spiffing.

Great, a cricketing lout and an unfunny comedian.

Genius!

Yes this is the shows only slight saving grace! If only they'd stop giving him supposedly funny scripts to read, and let him just be himself like he used to be on his YouTube channel though.

Don't disagree, I'd also prefer to see Chris Harris just getting on with reviewing cars! However, that probably goes against the idea of TG being a general entertainment show as opposed to a car show - realistically it's been much more the former than the latter for many years now.....

If gourmet food is to car control, it'll be fillet mignon with tinned mushy peas and strawberry ice cream.

Definitely one to miss.

Never heard of the McGuiness bloke so can't comment on him
As for Flintoff, Clarkson did a very good job of pretending to be uncouth and laddish whilst being intelligent and sophisticated, which is why he was such a good broadcaster and an even better journalist. Flintoff won't have to pretend. TG's viewing figures will fall through the floor with the new team.

Glad this thread appeared, I thought Fifth Gear had been cancelled in 2015, didn't know they resurrected it in 2018, until I just googled it.

Missed a lot of episodes already, need to try and find a way to watch them as they are on Quest, which doesn't seem to have past episodes available on Sky.

I preferred Fifth Gear even when Clarkson was still on TG, at least for the last few years.
