McGuinness, Flintoff and Harris Confirmed as New Top Gear Trio

[Michael Payne]

I hope they come up with their own ideas and change the format. Since Clarkson, May and Hammond left, the have had a succession of presenters basically doing the same tired format with a few minor changes. They need to come up with something completely different and do their own thing and not just put new presenters into the same format.

I have watched Grand Tour on Amazon, and just feels like more of the same - but possibly even more over the top, more stupid, more and bigger explosions and 'killing off' the celebrity guest each week. Every episode is practically the same just hosted in a tent from a different country. I also wish they would give Mike Skinner a non speaking role like the Stig.

I enjoyed the new series once they got rid of Chris Evans, I hope the new show is as good but I have my doubts about Flintoff and while Paddy is good entertainment in other shows I have a feeling he may be a bit too close to Chris Evans in style to work - not sure getting rid of Rory was a good idea either, he provided a good counter-balance to the other bigger names.

Re grand tour.. disappeared up its own arse somewhat so I gave up on it.

To those saying we can't know if it's good or bad yet because we haven't seen it... that's akin to saying we can't know if the next DC movie will be bad or not, but we know, we all know!

But You know...some of people have...a St. Thomas syndrome If can't touch, can't believe...

Go away or I'll report you for stalking me. Oh and try and type in English.

I thought the work Chris Harris did pre-TG was really good. "Chris Harris on Cars", anyone?

Was actually pretty annoyed when Harris got this gig, because his own series just stopped completely. I guess you need to pay the bills somehow though. He had time to run Blancpain Endurance this year too, mind you ( and came 2nd in AM class, iirc ).

You are already reported. You know why.

Both of you behave.

 

[Thombike]

Because I have My own opinion about show which is no more show...Ok...

Because I have My own opinion about show which is no more show...Ok...

But how do you know? You haven't seen it yet.

If this show is to survive it needs to be a complete revolution just like it was in 2003 compared to the old 90's Top Gear. They've had a couple of opportunities to do something completely different, instead it seems like they are desperately trying to recreate the chemistry that existed between Hammond, Clarkson and May and only making minor changes to the format. I still can't believe they haven't chosen a woman for one of the main presenters and thats not about equality it just seems something that is so obviously lacking.

Im shocked... 3 white males to host a BBC TV show?

I believe Chris Harris is Iranian. At least that's what I vaguely remember him telling Joe Rogan on his podcast.
