    I was extremely dubious.. but actually it felt much less scripted than that stupid yank!!
    A good watch, and I'll probably keep watching it.

    Brilliant episode thought it worked well Freddie and Paddy bounced off each other and Harris has a natural enthusiasm for cars so it all comes naturally to him well impressed!

    I lost interest when the original 3 moved on.

    Gave the first episode a go here and I very much enjoyed it.

    It's now back on my planner

    I pleasantly surprised by how good it was. Before, the only positive was Matt Le Blanc, the other two just felt like they were trying too hard to be likeable. This trio though, gelled very well..

    That's ok but how anyone can give that c0ckend Clarkson the time of day is beyond me.

    I agree he's very good at being a capend.

    Just watched it on the train back to York from that London. Really enjoyed it and it felt much more like the top gear of old other than lacking the opinionated ramblings of Clarkson which I quite liked but not everyone did. I had lost interest but will start watching it again after that.

    Very much like the Clarkson format, they even made shorthouse jokes. It looked same old same old to me but not as well done and I gave up on it halfway through so maybe I missed the good stuff.
