McGuinness brings nothing, just faux northern tttishness.
You do know what 'faux' means, don't you? and while I know where he is from, it puts it on like a cloak of 'I'm from up north so I can act like a tt'
We are not all like that up here.
I don't think that anyone thinks for a moment that he represents all of you.
What a banal, ignorant statement.

Main problem with top gear is it was Clarkson that made it great, nobody can review even a dull car quite like him. With just May, Hammond and say Harris it would have been pretty poor.
Problem with grand tour is none of their hearts are in it any more. JC just wants to get back to his farm and I don’t blame him.

I managed 20 minutes of the Xmas special. I don't think I've ever not watched an episode before, but that was just rubbish.
I guess Top Gear now appeals to whoever likes Mrs Browns Boys? No idea really. Who does like that apart from nobody, someone surely...Northern folk?
It was a bit rubbish, but that's been the case before even when Clarkson was in charge. I guess Top Gear now appeals to whoever likes Mrs Browns Boys? No idea really. Who does like that apart from nobody, someone surely...Northern folk?

How very Dare you!I guess Top Gear now appeals to whoever likes Mrs Browns Boys? No idea really. Who does like that apart from nobody, someone surely...Northern folk?
Even us Northern Monkeys know Mrs Brown's Boys is Garbage
Hang on, there was a Xmas special, when was it on? I need to watch it to see how bad it was.
Edit:
Just found it on iPlayer. I'm not sure I dare watch it to be honest, my tolerance for yer man has reached an almost Chris Evans level of loathing.

I'm a huge Top Gear fan. Clarkson is a genius and should be PM.
However, what I find odd with the new bunch is that they're a bit like the Monkees. Get 3 blokes and get them to pretend they're mates. They say things like "that's the stupidest thing I've ever seen him do" which is really the sort of thing you say about an old mate who you have seen do many stupid things over the years.
The other is the unbalanced nature of the group. "let's have race round this quarry/track/ woodland rally stage etc". One of them is an established experienced racer, the other 2 clearly aren't. There is only ever going to be one winner (usually).
I don't mind any of them but it should be three presenters , or three journalists, or 3 racers not such a badly mixed (talent-wise) bunch.

Hammond is a talentless ex radio DJ. May, a failed journo. They are not 'mates'. Clarkson can drive to a level but the other pair are useless pretty much. I would say the current crop are more talented overall, and without the prat, that is Richard Hammond, it flows much nicer.

You're really quite the expert, aren't you?
BTW Hammond has made a lot of money out of being talentless, and May out being a failed journo.
