Shame, I feel that Chris Evans has been given too hard a time from the likes of forums like PH.....even before his first show show was aired
He could have cured cancer, made TVR a success, inverted VEL rates and made petrol as cheap as it is in the US and someone on here wouldn't have given him a chance. The problems go far deeper but he was pretty symptomatic of the complete lack of grasp anyone left involved has. Just a shoddy homage to tg "oh look we got the format and the theme tune and the stig and siarpc and sabine (shes cool right?) So it must be a sucess right??"
You can give me paints but i wont paint you a rembrant.
This is a golden opportunity for Chris Harris to become the lead talent and out of all of them, he's the only one that seems to be taking it in his stride.
He's the most relaxed and genuine on camera and knows more about cars than the rest of them put together.
The BBC should be promoting and nurturing new talent and make some fundamental changes to the format, which is tired and predicable.

I agree but the budget was for a show the could sell worldwide that will change but it does not mean the future cannot be different and better
I'd have thought LeBlanc would help BBC WW sales more than Evans would, anyway?The trouble is, the brand is now tarnished so the BBC really need to do something radical to get the audience figures back up.

The world bought a unique show that happened to be made by some british. Americanising topgear for the american market is like taking coal to newcastle.

Good god noooooooo!!!!! He's bloody awful. I'm sure he's a car expert and a good driver etc but just shouldn't be on telly.He's the most relaxed and genuine on camera and knows more about cars than the rest of them put together.

the whole 5+mill UK TG audience tuned in to watch. It fell during his tenure, but they gave the berk the chance to parade his half baked morons delight of an act.

Absolutely. Let it die. Let Harris and co go back to what they are good at. Which certainly isn't TG..The problems go far deeper but he was pretty symptomatic of the complete lack of grasp anyone left involved has.

I think there's a degree of point missing going on here. TG had developed into a comedy program with a backdrop of cars to feed the antics. Hammond was there to appeal to the ladies. Which he did very well. Clarkson was there to get our blood up by being controversial. May was the sensible one whom we felt sorry for as the voice of reason amongst the other 2 idiots. A great formula that appealed to both sexes and was translatable around the world. We 'blokes who like cars' found enough genuity in it to appeal to our automotive genes and, which of us doesn't like the idea of a good hoon now and again?
CE is a goon and is way too puerile for most of us to put up with. the Harris bloke obviously knows his stuff but is not doing any comedy, neither is Eddie though I can see how he might have been thought to be the May character in the mix.
Young Rory should indeed be on CBBC.
Le Blanc is effortless and could well hold together a show of high jinks with a straight face, which is probably what's an essential part of the chemistry, and if they could get Guy Martin on to do some crazy cameo stuff (he's never ever going to be a presenter) and somebody else who's pretty daft, to do "A Team" like projects, then maybe we'd all be having fun on a sunday evening again.

Having watched the post race stuff on C4 this afternoon, I reckon Button, Webber and Coulthard would make a cracking line-up. Proper banter and competitive spirit in the challenges would be assured!
