LeBlank knows as much about cars as I do and that's not much!! With the new team we've got two stooges and a fall guy to keep us entertained!!! As for the cars these days! they're all the same you only have to choose a colour!!! I totally disagree. Clarkson, Hammond and May took what was a small car show and turned it into an international brand. You might not have found them funny, but they became the single most successful BBC export and one of the most popular shows in the UK for years on end. LeBlanc did seem like an odd choice, and his (apparent) fascination with large farming equipment was of little interest to me personally. Yeah, the current trio is another odd selection isn't it, perhaps the last gasp of top gear 😞 Well, I'd say that if you don't like cars and you don't like the show, there's probably little there for you to watch really... All the same though, not even slightly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s highly scripted with a forced jollity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lushcannon Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Much prefer it to the last series though still Grand Tour for me is better.Don't get why so many people dislike Jeremy Clarkson;think we was great on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire.

I’d like them to, I realise I am a bit of a car nerd who likes to stay informed, but seeing funny but informative reviews would appeal to me. It loses that broad appeal that made it a phenomenon though, so understand they won’t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
