Somebody has to be first. Not that impressed, same old ,same old. But now with annoying Evans and boring Le Blanc. Don't think the American gets it!!. Won't be rushing home to see it.

Dreadful. Evans was trying too hard to be funny and his constant excited shouting got on my nerves. Leblanc looked uncomfortable most of the time. There was no decent car content either.

Saw some of it but did not float my boat. Chris Evans sounds like a Soprano on Speed - very annoying.

Not for me...

Too many stunts.

I think I spelt that right...

I just do not get it

I was prepared to give it a chance BUT WTF was that "Challenge" all about?

Just pathetic, non eventful crap

Though TBH I don't mind Mat Le Plonk

Yep......was not great TV.

Evans said that he had a big say in how things would be produced, and that it would not be a carbon copy of the clarkson era. It looked like a very bad copy, and the original was old and tired.

He's a proper car guy and could easily of made it his own.........in its current form I'll give it 2 seasons before its pulled due to falling numbers.

Haven't seen it yet but a friend of a friend went to the filming of it & said that a lot of people just walked away due to boredom.

I thought leblanc was good.
I think they overlooked the fact the old format worked because of 'those 3'. Change the presenters by all means - but go the whole hog and hit the format too...
Ps - sabine rocks. Legend.

It was so bad I got up and did the washing up instead.

Have to find something else to do on Sundays at 8pm.

My missus said, ' it's like big brother has gone off to University and the little ginger brother gets to be important '

Not good.
Matt Le Blanc was good, drole and witty. Give him the show

I used to watch it when they did stuff about cars you may aspire to or even own . . then the three took over and turned it into a lads show for wealthy Bananarama!-takers (they are all multi-millionaires)and now another two very wealthy guys are doing it.

Evans trying too hard to be everybody's cool buddy, LeBlanc looking slightly bemused but good in front of a camera (as that is his day job) but it has no real 'plot' any more.

Agree with you guys - the format needs reshaping.

Now, if Guy Martin was on it . . . .
