Chris Evans "stepped down" from Top Gear..........who now
Discussion
Well I have not caught a few minutes of the second or third show and the end of yesterday's. For me it failed just like every show that attempts to mimic a successful format with a cast that simply apes the originals.
There were moments when I shuddered with embarrassment watching them and I'm not at all surprised the ratings have nosedived. TG wasn't a genuine motoring show, it's had moved well away from that and was no more than the sum of its presenters; the new ones don't add up to much, IMO.

I thought the ending of "Extra Gear" was significant - it was Reid, Harris, LeBlanc & Schmidt saying "that's all from this Series" and they looked like the definitive presenting team.
Evans and Jordan were oddly absent.
I would definitely give these 4 more of a chance (personally). Only watched 1 ep this series. Might get round to one or two when I have a bit of spare time.Evans and Jordan were oddly absent.

I can see Rory Reid stepping in for Evans, he's the most natural presenter out of all of them and I can imagine them putting him and Le Blanc together with Harris and Schmitz doing the driving/Extra Gear etc
Nah, they'll all be replaced by David Cameron, Jeremy Corbyn, Boris Johnson, Nigel Farage with special European correspondent Jean-Claude Juncker.
ts. Watched it last night matt le blanc seemed more in the style of JC with his low key approach so give it a go with him in the seat
Some eejert driving a white car I can remember less than little about it, then they had two so called celebrities I'd never heard of who seemed to go on and on about something I'd never heard of, I listened for as much as I could take and never saw what came next

It's all being discussed in the existing TG thread http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...

Exactly this.
Eddie Jordan is otiose.
Sabine is underused, and the Stig joke is wearing thin, so make her the on-hand professional.
Nice word. Had to look it up.Eddie Jordan is otiose.
Sabine is underused, and the Stig joke is wearing thin, so make her the on-hand professional.
In fact, this post is otiose.
