I do Ronnie
Don't mind it actually, find it no worse than when the three stooges were doing it

Improved a hell of a lot after they got rid of that idiot Evans.

I’ve not watched any of the new series since the trio took over.

I enjoyed the last series of TopGear. Watched the Grand Tour first series and no more. Don't like it at all

I agree, the Big Tour is missing something. Same guys but I just don't find it as entertaining. The new Top Gear is watchable but if I am not in I don't bother recording it where as I would have with the Clarkson and his stooges.

Maybe I am just getting old?

I watch both and like them both. Although when seasons 1 of both series started I thought they were both terrible! Season 2 has sen both settle down and find their feet. Looking forward to the new season of Top Gear. It needed a refresh and I think they’ve got it together now. Wanted to hate Matt LeBlanc but I’ve warmed to him. Chris Harris and Rory are great, Chris Evens was a total shouty disaster!
