Top Gear - Have the BBC gone mad...?

I can't understand why they need 6 presenters and the stig.  I guess part of this is to sell more to USA and Germany.  i'll be watching the old crew on Prime

Yes they are a few spanners short of a tool box.  Such a shocking waste of license payers money.    Their PC obsessed ideas are an indication that they are raking in too much money from the public.   I wont be watching that programme,

It appears that the BBC seem to think that more is better, have to disagree there, the show isn't big enough for more than three presenters IMO.

I can't stand listening to the self centred Mr Evans, as for watching him no thanks!!!  .....

Does seem a bit overkill. Perhaps they want to keep the same overall wages bill.

I'm reserving judgement until I've seen a few episodes of the show with the new setup. I agree with others that I find Chris Evans irritating, but he must have his supporters to get the jobs he does - and maybe they're expecting his "fans" to supply the viewing figures?

The one thing they must do is change the old format and not try to copy it. Those people who enjoyed watching Clarkson (who is even more irritating than Evans!) and his schoolboy humour chums, would be quick to diss any attempt to copy the old format as inferior.

We've got Prime - but we won't be watching Clarkson & Co.

I won't be watching it either. The BBC are losing all the sporting fixtures such as The Open Golf, Formula 1 etc. which is not good IMHO.

I am also of the view that you have to see the programme before you can make a judgement. They clearly want to get away from the three amigos format.

I'll give it a chance but never could stand the way programmes have multi presenters - each one reading a bit of a sentence.

Just looked at a picture of the new line up , They are certainly going for "Diversity".      

I's  just  an  excuse  tro  increase  the  wages  of  the  "Credits"  writers
