I stopped watching it completely when Chris Evans started presenting it, couldn’t stand him on the radio, he was worse on TV - I gave Nat LeBlanc a couple of views but the program became even more puerile............ stopped watching again. I cannot stand Paddy MacGuiness so didn’t watch last year but was so bored with the crap on the telly last Saturday I watched the first two editions of this series on iPlayer and quite enjoyed them so watched this weeks edition on Sunday night. Still undecided. Chris Harris has to be a bit more careful with testing Porsche’s as he could be seen to have a conflict of interests being or having been sponsored by Porsche UK for a number of years.

I absolutely hated Top Gear with Chris Evans and Matt Le Blanc. But I love the new team and think they are hilarious together. In fact I’d go as far as to say I much prefer the current line up of presenters even to JC, JM and RH!!
We both sit watching it and find very entertaining. It’s an entertainment show with a car theme. Nothing more, nothing less. And as such I think it’s fab

I agree the new line-up is very good. Much better than previous incarnations and the Grand Tour. WARNING.

I think most people would agree that Top Gear with JC, RH and JM had reached the end of it’s shelf life and TBH The Grand Tour hasn’t really worked for most people either. I see Hammond is about to broadcast a series about big engineering projects on Discovety Channel that includes one program recently filmed onboard one of the monster box ships in the Maersk Line fleet.

^^^ That BIG series is pretty good. I've watched a couple already; the large dam and the VW car factory

I'd rather watch new series by Hammond and May rather than the overly PC BBC rubbish. To be be fair, almost nothing made by British TV is watchable these days. Tinned laughter, period dramas and miserable soap operas. Thank god for Netflix and other streaming options. Loads of TG Dave repeats to remind me of the good old days of motoring and TV.
