    Big disappointment that it is still the same format, they had the opportunity to do something new

    I think is was just as predictable as the shows CH&M did last few seasons, which were not good either. I give them a few episodes, see if it develops.

    can this Extra Gear be seen outside the UK? iPlayer can't

      ExtraGear is good compared with the main show, but thats not saying much. I wasn't blown away with it personally but at least it wasn't cringey.

        have to agree with some of the above post why does that to$$er Evans have to SHOUT ALL THE TIME and im sure i wont be wearing my jeans tucked into my boots anytime soon I thought Matt Le Blanc did a pretty decent job actually quite funny but wished the other Chris was involved . Didnt get to see the other one as i had virgin series linked the initial show

            Have to say last nights Top Gear was much better than the first one enjoyed the road trip in Africa and the new McClaren is just sensational

              It was better -though CE in the opening credits said something like '...and I am doing more shouting......'

              Was like.... "you wazzock, you really care about the fan's opinions... don't you?"

              McLaren was nice, SUV trip was pointless and very poorly executed -in fact from what I have seen the 'pace' of the programme has ramped up a LOT overall, as if designed for the ADHD generation. I however, quite liked the laid back approach to the previous series.

                Agree with Anthonys2's comments although Matt Le'blanc makes the show for me, I like his humor and general comments about the cars.

                  +1 now find a way to make Evans realise that on TV there is no reason to shout

                    I realise the BBC need to be unbiased, but its almost like they are trying to topple their own show

                    An average of 2.8 million viewers tuned in to the second episode of Top Gear - 1.6 million fewer than the series debut.

                      Did say after first one I bet viewing figures are around 3m that's quite a drop to the first episode and surprisingly Matt Le Blanc has made a decent impression his humour is good

                        Hmm, slightly better, still want to punch Chris Evans in the face.

                        After quoting overnight viewing figures on his Twitter account last week as 'FACTS' trying to big up it's success, Evan's, after those numbers have plummeted, is now saying those figures have never been less relevant. Plus he's apparently throwing tantrums at the audience for not laughing enough and generally being unenthusiastic to the point they have to edit laughter in. NOONE LIKES YOU EVANS, PLEASE GO.

                            Tried watching the second top gear episode last night. I couldn't finish it. It just became more and more obvious that the BBC dont get what made topgear popular.

                              Tonights episode much, much better.

                              Chris Harris, Sabine and The Hoonigan... less Chris Evans... excellent. Enjoyed that one...
                              Honda CBR 1100XX Blackbird Turbo....undergoing major changes.....
                              S2 Coupe... bit easier off the line...
                              '03 ZX12-R daily hack.... lots of nice bolt ons...
