Just finished episode 3 there and really enjoyed it. Think Chris Harris is a great addition.
Thought the Hoonigan segment was good too.
Chris Harris was great, very much like Richard Hammond in delivery I thought. He interacted with Matt LeBlanc very well too and they were a good pairing. They both seem to love cars and are very good entertainers too.
The Hoonigan section was very good too, the cut away shot to the "Queen" looking out the window was funny.
Having essentially 5 presenters is too much though and makes it seem like no-one has ownership of the programme. Also, interviewing 2 people at once is a farce.
I think Chris Evans is the issue, getting sick after a drive in the Audi with Sabine is a sacking offence in my view. What that says is that even though she has driven thousands in the Ring Taxi Evans can't handle the same experience. That may not be true and may even be unfair but it's all about impression on TV. The general view in our house was "He's a girl" - and that didn't come from me! He also doesn't come across as loving cars, in the way that Harris did as he described the details on the Ferrari. Instead Evans seems like he's got a big deck of Top Trump cards that he's reading the details off. He comes across as a very successful, very astute car investor who is trying to appear to be a car lover. The problem is, it's impossible to be both.
Ploughing a lone furrow here - but I really like the new series. I've always been an Evans fan, Le Blanc is good too - you can see them steadily getting more natural. The other presenters are almost like members of mission impossible - they're drafted in when needed! That said - loved the Ferrari and hot hatch section.
Anyway, thought it was far more watchable than anything I can remember from the previous few series. Only thing I don't like is the stars introducing each other.
Thought last night was a total turn around on the previous shows, Evans seemed to tone himself down a bit I felt. All the features were excellent entertainment and I really like Rory Reid too. Honestly I dread the thought of seeing Eddie Jordan back on the screen for any forthcoming features

I wonder is Evan's a transition to LeBlanc being the lead ?
Certainly it felt like it was the Matt show with Chris Evans as the 'comedy' sidekick

Heads up for tonight's episode, based around Kerry as seen in the media 2 months back.

Chris Evans has left the show - shame imo.
Delighted. I personally couldnt take him. But big up to him for realising he is the worst part of the show and stepped down without a fuss.
