Samilktray Posted 6 June 2016 Share Posted 6 June 2016 Wasn't as bad as last weeks. That Eddie Jordan seems a right melt though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Facecloth Posted 6 June 2016 Share Posted 6 June 2016 Just watching it now. Much better than the first week. I don't think I'll ever prefer it to the last threes version, but I'll certainly keep watching and enjoying if for what it is. Suppose it's like when they change James Bond or Dr Who. Do the fans just completely abandon the series of just enjoy it a little less? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Facecloth Posted 6 June 2016 Share Posted 6 June 2016 I thought that was a bit awkward when Le Blanc pretty much told Jordan off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammie82uk Posted 7 June 2016 Share Posted 7 June 2016 Seems it is taking a ratings hit here and in the states 1st episode in the states is down to 388,000 compared to 530,000 for the 1st episode in the previous season Episode 2 here pulled in 2.8 million compared to the 4.4 million who watched the 1st episode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 7 June 2016 Share Posted 7 June 2016 I think LeBlanc is pretty good, be nice if Chris Evans gave him a bit more room to actually speak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramboacdc Posted 8 June 2016 Share Posted 8 June 2016 purposley gone out of my way to watch this on something where it will get no viewing figures just to stick it to that twat evans after his twitter rants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that was a bit pathetic. He should know that the viewing figures were always going to be high for episode 1, people were curious what it'd be like. People watching something, especially a first episode, doesn't mean they're liking it, just means they're viewing it. It's whether it holds viewers, which apparently it didn't for episode 2.

sdb Posted 8 June 2016 Share Posted 8 June 2016 I intentionally watched it just to piss off fans of Clarkson! Thought it was alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webbo Posted 8 June 2016 Share Posted 8 June 2016 If you're determined to hate it you'll find something to dislike. If you watch it with an open mind it's not a bad show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Posted 8 June 2016 Share Posted 8 June 2016 Much, much improved tonight. It was - much better. They shouldn't advertise the celebs new stuff though - that felt like selling out its not Graham Norton and the weakest thing about it it is the first car and audience cheering rubbish.

Merging Cultures Posted 14 June 2016 Share Posted 14 June 2016 I guess no one watched the last one?! Seems like there was last Evans, which is good. I prefer Chris Harris, Rory's section was a bit 5th Gear, and the last segment driving around London was pointless and a bit annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viewing figures dropped 500,000 for the 3rd episode to 2.3 million although that's been blamed on football and the second half of an hour special of coronation street being on at the same time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glenny_fox Posted 14 June 2016 Share Posted 14 June 2016 It's not a bad show when you watch it with an open mind. I actually like Matt Le Blanc a lot more than I thought I would as a presenter. Chris Evans can pi55 off though, I think he's the most cringe worthy presenter around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Len Finsbury Posted 14 June 2016 Share Posted 14 June 2016 I really don't mind it. I'm not sure Chris Evans is the right presenter for it though. He's still in TFI Friday mode and needs reminding that it's not 1998 anymore. If he calmed down and stopped pretending to be overexcited, it'd improve dramatically.

Col city fan Posted 15 June 2016 Share Posted 15 June 2016 Watched the first two and don't think it's a patch on how it was before. Clarkson being the total tit has wrecked what was one of my favourite programmes on the TV. To be honest, I don't think I'll bother watching any more. It's just not funny. That was the best bit that the trio had...They made it funny with the interpersonal dynamics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellend Sebastian Posted 15 June 2016 Share Posted 15 June 2016 William Woollard is still alive. There's a fallback if things get too bad. Has anybody ever read a Clarkson book? There was one in the holiday cottage I stayed in recently, and I had a look out of curiosity. It was the dullest thing I've ever read - I could barely read a sentence without being distracted by a sparrow or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
