I like Jenson, but the bit where he was trying to be all cool pointing out things like the sat nav and alcantra whilst actually really struggling to keep a hold of the car was a bit cringey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm expecting Danny Baker as the star in the car next week ... Surely Reef will be brought in to do the theme tune soon? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turnbull Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Thought last night's show was easily the best yet, helped by less shouting from Evans, less LeBlanc, more Chris Harris, more Rory Reid, more Sabine Shmitz, some nice cars and two good guests in Antony Joshua and Kevin Hart. Worth a look if you haven't seen it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 I thought the episode was quite boring, and was pretty stunned to discover that the worst part of top gear (stars in cars) took up 40% of the episode. I skipped that part, and the episode was done in half an hour. I don't like how all the segments seem random and completely unrelated to one another. Like there is no segway into what they are about to do. The Ken Block drifting is a perfect example. It really came out of no where. They could have easily put that in the first episode saying something like "we wanted to welcome Matt to our beautiful country and make him feel more at home, so we organized a bit of a tour of london for him, but with an american twist". There you go. That is a perfect segway into that segment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more they are involved the better the show will be. I still can't stand the format of the star in the car, but I think you can put Kevin Hart in any format of interview and get good value for money, that guy has so much energy in him.

Genie Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Enjoyed most of last nights show, thought Sabine was a bit annoying trying to be wacky but very enjoyable overall I thought. Especially enjoyed the Tesla Model X, that truly is a very special car. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth a look if you haven't seen it. I watched it last night, enjoyed it all apart from the ridiculous 2 stars in a car and a few other bits below. But I hate the car in a star or whatever it is. 1. Reading out why each other is there does not cover the fact it is a self promotion thing. 2. Getting 2 people in to stretch it out is pathetic. 3. Making out its a big competition between the 2 people in the studio (Whilst there is a board clearly showing it's about the time on the track) 4. "Ooooh so it's 1-nil to so and so. Lets see you wins with the best car ever" based purely on who pretends to cheer the loudest is face punchingly cringe inducing swap shop /Tiswas rubbish that was shit in the 1978. Evans is an absolute word removed, why not start saying "CrackerJack" now and again and give out some pens the word removed. 5. The German bird is a waste of space, her English is so so much worse than my Dutch it's painful, she talks like a child but that's as far as her vocabulary will get her. Would the Dutch let me on a TV show with 4 year old Dutch ? 6. WTF is the thing with the spoons at the end, "OH NO!!!! he's got the spoons" is a bit like "look it's the phantom flan flinger" BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. 7. It's all a bit high level these days, it would be good to see how new tech actually works as oppose to watching people have a laugh in a car. Apart from that it's OK.
