Yeah interesting line up if they try and copy the old format it will flat on its face? Not sure about good old Joey (Ex-friends) excellent and funny in that
Seven presenters. Clearly the last three (Clarkson, Hammond, May) were big shoes to fill in the eyes of the BBC. Why don't they just go the whole hog..
I think it'll be good. Top Gear has a ridiculous budget and has had some fantastic concepts over the years, some which were hindered by focusing on the misadventures of old men.
They've injected the show with some proper car nuts, replacing (excluding Hammond) guys going on about 'torques' and 'horsepowers' or continually going back to 1960's-70's British cars.
I think they've also given themselves a lot of options with the mix of specialities within the hosts. You've got the faces, the drivers and the nerds, rather than asking 3 people to do (and struggle with) all 3 facets.
Looking forward to seeing how Chris Harris transfers to TV. His enthusiasm is contagious on his YouTube vids.

It'll be fine, it might just take a while... Sabine can pedal a car, Harris is one of my Youtube favourites, so they're good in my book. Jordan is controversial and after he predicted Hamilton's move to Mercedes when all around said it was madness, I have a lot more time for his ramblings.
In case anyone has forgotten, the first series of new Top Gear was pretty bad, so much so that Dave don't show it and anything indeed the first few series are nowhere near what the show became in later years. The grand adventures were also a later addition and it was these that I found to be more enjoyable to watch, as they were a bunch of car mad blokes doing daft things. The early days were wooden and more car focussed than later series and none of them could drive anywhere near as well as in later years. Forget drifting for the camera; it was more like controlled crashing.
Give it a chance I say and don't judge it on the first series but on the third or fourth (if it makes it that far).
I don't understand Le Blanc's addition though.

Can see the benefit of Miss Schmit if she is based in Germany tho (laps of the ring instead of the old track) ?
Seen that Harris guy on line and to be honest he's ok.
I just imagine a big King Arthur round table to accomodate them all.
Who the **** is Rory Reid? I guess being the BBC, some lazy pseudo civil servant with a Guardian subscription needs to make sure the diversity stats look right. 7 presenters seems unnecessary, wasteful and clumsy to me.
Will be interesting to see what the new series is like. The old line up looked far too staged in my opinion in the last 3 series and was lacking new content. It's time to reinvent it again and change
