Was that the stuff that looked like bedsprings?

As bad as it is, its still better than having to watch Call the Midwife FFS.
Paddy and Chris I like, still not warming to the wooden one though.
Given this or nothing, I will take this.

But its no longer just a car show. It's now targeted at a wider audience rather than just us car geeks and it is good old fashioned entertainment which works.... well certainly for me anyway. It's a bit like marmite this one, ( also Grandtour), you either love em or hate em. I really like both of them for different reasons. And yes you get the chance to see some stunning parts of the world that many may not ordinarily see. So they get my vote all the way..I think Chris Harris is very good, but the other two strike me as hangers-on. The 'professional northerner' thing drives me mad, and I live a heck of a lot further north than those two.
I think a programme like Top Gear deserves to have presenters that are true petrolheads (Clarkson, Hammond and May are); I've seen no evidence that Flintoff and Paddy are. One strikes me as an alpha Male adrenalin junkie, and the other is a joker. I'm sure they're decent blokes, I have nothing against them at all, but they're no TG 'A Team' for me.
We don’t get the new Top Gear in Oz yet. I used to love the old crew, went off the Le Blancs, Evans nonsense etc and am really fairly uninterested on the new bunch given the comments here.
Shame.
I understand why it is that way to get an audience, but it's just not my thing... I'll watch it when it's got proper car review content with Chris Harris, but when they start pratting about, I have a glass of wine and browse a certain 'Sports Maserati' forum!But its no longer just a car show.

To be honest I don't think you will be disapointed when you do see it. It's a scream!We don’t get the new Top Gear in Oz yet. I used to love the old crew, went off the Le Blancs, Evans nonsense etc and am really fairly uninterested on the new bunch given the comments here.
