I hated Evans shouting in the studio, Matt was the better presenter...
But still naff !

I enjoyed it, it was due for a revamp as the last 3 series were just treading water and had lost all appeal for me. Will watch it and give it a fair crack of the whip, wont just give up after a handful of minutes like some, how you can possibly judge a series after a few minutes is beyond me.. As for the presenters I couldn't care less who does it, I watch for the cars...

Just watched it on the I Player and although I'm not a great fan of Chris Evans I did like the show. I agree studio sound was poor, oh ! And could we more of Sabinne

I suppose it will be my loss but I just can't bring myself to watch it. Just the sight of Evans makes me want to punch him

I agree, best give it more than a couple of minutes before passing judgement.

Its just not the same without Clarkson and co the show was more about the friendly banter with cars and the 3 worked brilliantly together. Evans and Le Blanc dont even like each other you can tell their partnership is false. I wont be watching again bring back Clarkson!!

To me the show lacked the original characters too much, and unsure if these two would be capable of carrying it off to the levels of success the other three managed. We need to remember that this is a new one to them, and thus maybe before dismissing it fully, give them the opportunity to make it worth watching !
Chris Evens in his normal boastful manner quoted "Disappointing if it had less than 5 million viewers" proves his nature in one way only, maybe trying too hard will screw up the whole show for good.
We will see what happens !
But I thought the show was poor in general.

Chris Evans sounded like a silly schoolgirl, and the rest was a mess as well.. Nil points innit......
