Apart from Rory Reid, I've heard of them all and think it is a great crew. Chris Harris does some great work.

There were 4 presenters before (if we're counting the Stig) so not many more and it gives the opportunity to ring the changes.

I think the old format stated to appeal to more of the non-enthusiasts (which can be good or bad) and hopefully the new Top Gear will get back to a good balance of fun and cars.

cheers

For the proper show it seems you have to buy a Fire stick, c£35, and a subscription to Amazon Prime, £79pa. Bit much for one program, but I am tempted.

Totally agree with this, great team I think. Who cares if Evans gets a bit car sick, he is passionate about cars and will be a great anchorman. Chris Harris and Sabine have more than enough skill to handle the super fast showy driving anyway. I doubt there are many who wouldn't be feeling very woozy after a couple of laps with Chris or Sabine! Also, I distinctly remember Clarkson being sick on the show too following some spirited driving!

You only need a Firestick if your TV doesn't have Amazon built in. Sony Playstations, tablets of most descriptions and all PCs will run the Amazon video client too, so you'll be good to watch - but it wont be called Top Gear...Wink

Also, Amazon Prime is discounted by £20 at various times of the year, so could be a even better deal then. Also, worth the30 day trial to see how it all works. All the other stuff you get with Prime makes it a good deal in general.

cheers

I've got to be honest, tv isn't good enough to warrant the fee for the standard licence, I utterly refuse to pay good money for extra channels, subscription shows, Sky tv etc etc.
I'd prefer to be able to afford run a few v8's Cool

I am genuinely happy for Chris Harris. Always loved his youtube stuff.
