FTA-TV Top Gear UK Series

[Plugger35]

This has trainwreck written all over it.

I think I'd rather watch the Australian Top Gear than this.

 

[Bomberboyokay]

Maybe they're trying to get more women watching "OMG Joey from Friends "

Or trying to increase the American audience http://www.bbcamerica.com/shows/top-gear

I will say, Matt LeBlanc is quality.

 

[Richo is God]

6 presenters + Stig, what the...?

I'm not sure what's funnier. Eddie Jordan, or a "YouTube star".

Even ******* Stig looks embarrassed.

If they write Matt LeBlanc's lines he will do really well, if he has to improv he will crash and burn.

His work in UK series Episodes is really good, albeit playing himself. A mate recommended it and I expected a trainwreck, but it was brilliant.

Everyone else on the other hand... *image of Hilux atop a collapsing building *

I still think LeBlanc has the potential to be really good. He could be the sole saving grace. However the show surrounding him will be so bad it won't matter.

I think it is good that they arent going to try and copy "top gear".

It is going to be a mess for the first season though, until they find their new "thing"

I'm willing to give it a chance. Then hopefully they can sack Evans and move on like it never happened.

1st 2 eps of TG USA s6 are up if anyone gaf

Interesting with Sabine Schmitz - when she first appeared on Top Gear about 12 years ago, she created quite a stir because she was a)Fast b)funny and c) A Woman!

She's had a good career in TV in Germany since, but I suspect from the above photo she's no longer in exactly racing trim.

Sorry - refer to the Radiotimes article linked above.

 

[The Sultan]

im sure it will be watchable, haters will s**t on it because it doesn't have Clarkson, Hammond, and May, like they did for the Aussie and US versions of it.

 

[Hap Hapablap]

i dont know how 6 people are going to have chemistry like the other 3.

i doubt it will last. cohen will rot for this.

The Amazon Prime show will feature short films shot in different locations around the globe and the studio audience portion of the showcase will also take place at a different location around the world every week. The pre-recorded studio sections of the program will be filmed in front of a live audience, all housed within a giant tent. Therefore in this spirit of travel, adventure and intrigue, the presenters have decided to call the show 'The Grand Tour.'

Actually sounds pretty cool.

 

[wce4premiership]

It sounds very cool if they do lots of travel and adventure, brings a lot of variety and options.

they probably feel it wont get the exposure it used to. i think ill give the tg one season before it is discontinued. it wont last too many hosts and pc.

 

[Hap Hapablap]

btw someone should make a grand tour thread for the new show.

 

[drd23]

The new season with the new cast has aired.

It has much of the same look and feel of the old show but still not quite as good. Chris Evans was clearly trying way too hard to be the new Clarkson. Matt LeBlanc was actually pretty good.

 

[Papa Juggs]

I'm trying to watch it.

Sabine good, Matt good. Chris... what a *******, hate his voice, hate his face, hate his humour.

 

[Bomberboyokay]

It was not bad.
