I didnt like the show and that is my prerogative. I found James May moderately likeable and completely disliked the other two dickheads. I dont give a flying F-U-C-k how successful the show was, I didn't like it and never did. Do you have an issue with that cus I dont give an F-U-C-K if you do?

I don't think looking for positive responses on twitter is going to get you very far tbf drew.

The critics have been pretty fair to it.

[James]

It reminded me of when Friends ended and they put on the spin-off, Joey, instead. Where Joey had moved to Los Angeles, and him and Chandler were no-longer friends.

I only watched one episode of that.

[MTVN]

I didn't watch it so really have no right to comment but so many people were going to hate it no matter what that it was always going to struggle. Also to read social media, online forums, tabloids etc. you'd think that Chris Evans was universally hated but actually his radio show has gone from strength to strength, the listeners have continued to increase and far more people tune in than they do to R1 and than they did to when Wogan presented it. I'd say generally he's more respected than is made out and I'm sure the new Top Gear will do fine once it finds it feet and when people realise that Clarkson et al were really not that mind blowing in what they did

[joeysteele]

I didn't watch the old series of Top Gear because I cannot stand Jeremy Clarkson and will not watch anything with him in it.

I missed this first one but will likely now watch it now the motormouth has gone from it.

i detest chris evans

[Northern Monkey]

It was like some kind of comic relief joke.I managed 20 mins or so on iPlayer and can honestly say i'll never watch it again.Just a crappy replica of Top Gear.It needs to be scrapped.However much some people may not like Jezza,He WAS Top Gear.The show can never work without him.This spin off was a shambles.
Can't wait for the new Clarkson,Hammond and May show.Hopefully that will take a large number of the proper Top Gear fans and the BBC realise their mistake and stop trying to copy what was once a great show.

Honestly, I really tried to like it, everyone was okay, apart from Chris, he's like Jeremy Clarkson but unfunny (in Top Gear I mean, not in real life). Honestly, the guys on Extra Gear actually are pretty decent presenters, who I could honestly see presenting the main show.

[Mokka]

Evans has confirmed via Twitter he is stepping down from Top Gear

[Niamh.]

They should give Matt LeBlanc a shot as main presenter, people seem to like him more than they do Chris and I was surprised at how good he was as a presenter

[Niamh.]

Oh wonder if there's any truth to this?

[Rob!]

A mess. I don't watch it but apparently last night only got 1.59m which is an all time low for the show. It was opposite the footy but it's still miles from where it should be.

well, that is a DM report so maybe not too serious Seems likely it's the bad ratings and these allegations against Chris Evans.

I just read someone posting on FB that he was sacked by the BBC because of child abuse allegations (which is not true at all) Horrible how these stories get legs added to them. I feel sorry for him :/

Thanks Chewy
for being honest

[LeatherTrumpet]

No surprise. The show with him was awful, no cars were actually reviewed with comment about how they compared to others, how they handled in comparison - Clarkson is a seasoned motoring journalist - Evans is a shouting radio jockey.

All the other presenters need also to go save Matt who should join up with JC, May and Hammond in a guest role.

To sack JC for a non work related affray but to hire what seems to be, based on some pretty solid and graphic accusation, a sex predator is utterly disgusting


After Sir Cliff and Tony Blackburn the BBC are in the total gutter

Disgraceful

[MTVN]

The way Evans has been treated by the media is pretty disgraceful imo, had his character completely assassinated for months because he had the audacity to take up a job offer for a vacant role and try and do his best with it. He's probably made the right decision though, he's successful enough anyway that he doesn't really need Top Gear for all the grief its caused him

[Northern Monkey]

I mean i'm no fan of Evans admittedly but why ever he's been sacked or quit or whatever and whoever they try next.I just honestly can't see the show working without the original gang presenting it.It will always just be an inferior copy.Fifth Gear on C5 used to even be better than what Top Gear has become now.
