tbh (and it's in no way trying to cause an argument with anyone),some of the comments Clarkson made,he should have been sacked long before he was,in mho,it was getting to the point I felt that he thought he was bigger than the bbc

Early days with the programme....see how it goes

I had my doubts and wasn't going to watch it, but by chance I had arrived home and just sat down at bang on 8pm so turned it on

So it kicks of with the trusty 3 wheelers which Clarkson also played to death few years back although Clarkson in his series done a far better job when he was tipping it on every turn.

I think the script was written exact same as it would be played out by the trusty three but Evans and co just couldn't come up with the goods.

I lasted to 8:40pm then started flicking the channels to see what else was on, not sure what happened after that as I simply gave up on it.

Will wait for Clarkson, Hammond & May on Amazon to do it right or buy their full dvd box set when its released.

Conclusion

2016 BBC Top Gear 29/05/2016 absolute crap, failed to win the crowd.

As an acid test of personality if someone likes Clarkson and his arrogant, xenophobic, neo-con views they are not for me - even for a coffee. Might need to update my profile.

Let me be the first you block then; as Clarkson rocks and has a great way of presenting a show (even with his dislike for bikes)

New top gear trying hard to be old top gear. A decent watch, but thought it might be a little different

I was under the impression that Top Gear is a worldwide franchised name / product, ie there needs to be similarity across all the branded programs in all countries... it was never going to stay to far from the original ...

didn't watch it but knew the old one was on its way out long before it happened, Clarkson owned the rights to top gear for years up until a couple of years back so he has absolutely nothing to loose, no doubt he'll do what he did last time wait for it to fail and pick the rights back up for buttons

Didn't watch it and from the reaction on Twitter many said it was crap. Will never be the same without the old trio.

Absolute garbage.

I had tentatively high hopes, but even the way they have utilised Sabine is poor.

Hopefully they'll find a better use for her in future episodes....just don't know if I can find the enthusiasm to forced myself to watch another episode.

I'll just stick to Dave TV

Made a point of boycotting it anyway. I'm not interested in anything motor related, not to mention, Evans is a smug cunt... can't abide him. That Joey Friends chap, not much better... it's all about the unique on screen chemistry between Clarkson, Hammond & May.

Won't be watching any of it.

Audience viewing figures were disappointing, supposedly. Lol

Content to wait for the pro's again, with their 'Specials' in the 'Original Top Gear' on Amazon - roll on the Autumn.

Will be great to have the boys back

Just watching it now, absolutely dire compared to the old top gear but as a car show itself it's not too bad

Watched it last night ...my opinion it was "ok" ...not as good as it was ..but watchable (i will continue to watch), however i do think they should have revamped the whole format ..evans and leblanc just didnt have the chemistry of the 3 amigos
