Posted July 4, 2016 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-36707266 What do you think? I really didn't like him and I'm glad he's quit, but fair play to him for having the humility to step down.

Posted July 4, 2016 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-36707266 I wont miss him. Even if he was being himself, he just seemed too much of a Clarkson wannabe, but with an extremely annoying voice. The other presenters are ok in their own way, but I'm not convinced the ingredients are there to make a screen chemistry like the old trio. I'm also not convinced that keeping largely the same formula is a good idea, and they could/should have tried something more different.

Posted July 4, 2016 I dont like Chris Evans, but I was not expecting that. I guess all negative press has got to him. I just hope next series BBC makes makes Chris Harris, Rory Reid and Matt LeBlanc the main presenters. Don't think Eddie Jordon or Sabine has added anything to the presenting, no need for them. I shall now await Grand Tour featuring Clarkson, Hammond and the Old Lady (nickname Clarkson given to James May on twitter) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 4, 2016 he had a good run but it's fair play to step down. as far as who can replace him... there are a couple of good candidates. 16 minutes ago, C2dan88 said: I dont like Chris Evans, but I was not expecting that.

I shall now await Grand Tour featuring Clarkson, Hammond and the Old Lady (nickname Clarkson given to James May on twitter) the problem with chris harris becoming the host is that he's a little too technical. the segments he has done in the main show are great, mind you, but only because he acted in a script. something like the online series he was faithfully given and heavily resembles his Youtube series. and if you've watched the alfa romeo bit that came out on the TG website, he is way too technical for the general TG audience.

Posted July 4, 2016 I genuinely don't think he's as bad as everyone says. I also think everyone should have given the show more of a chance. It takes more than one season of a show to develop chemistry. That said, Matt LeBlanc made his dissent clear and declared it was either him or Chris that leaves...and Chris took him up on that. Oh well. We'll see what happens later.

Posted July 4, 2016 Well, good, from all of them he was the worst soo i'm happy with this. He tried to be too exited and the show didn't feel natural but oh well...

Posted July 5, 2016 There was an article I read later saying that the new top gear was just a bad copy of the previous one and I agree.

Posted July 5, 2016 Top Gear is doomed to fail obviously. If Clarkson Hammon and May would sign a contract by any other large television station, then top gear will be over.

Well i think that the BBC has simply thought that they should continue with the succes formule they had. But the problem is that a presentor pretty much makes a program to a succes formule that it has became. If you take that vital element out, the whole formule wont work anymore. They indeed had to come with a totaly diffrent setup. But i´m not sure if they have the creativity to do that honnestly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
