Well, I thought I would give it a chance........and 20 minutes in I am afraid that it's every bit as bad as I thought it would be.

First we have Chris Evans' irritating, whiny voice......enough to put off anyone anyway.

Then we find that it is just a pale imitation of the previous version. A review of an American muscle car is turned into a stupid, pretend 'Top Gun' game.

Then we have 'The Stig' ........and they even use exactly the same lines, copied from Clarkson and co.

Now they are doing a mickey-take of three-wheeler cars.......now where have I seen that before? Except that this time it's even more tedious and pointless.

Yup, it's basically "TGI Friday" does a pale imitation of Top Gear. Sad

Watching the repeat now (as BBC has basically becone 'the footballing programme') and Chris Evans is basically a passenger in a car test......and ends up throwing up.

So, he got the job because of his great love of fast cars.......and it appears that he just has too much money and is able to buy them. He has no idea how to drive them (and cannot even hack being a passenger in one). At least the previous presenters (well, Clarkson and the Hamster) could at least drive high performance cars.

So why exactly did Evans get the job? Simply because he's well placed amongst the BBC hierarchy, for some reason.

Nice to see that he's less involved in presenting this episode though.

Rumour has it that Matt LeBlanc has been asked to do the next series, instead of Shouty Evans.

 Great news as far as I am concerned, I much prefere Matt Le Blancs delivery. Apparently he is not being replaced and the remaining team will carry on.

Great news that the shouty one has gone.

Now all we need is to get rid of him from the breakfast show on radio 2.

I agree that Matt LeBlanc was surprisingly good and I'm glad they are keeping him (I did read somewhere that he'd said that he wouldn't do another series of Evans was kept on the show).
