It's different, but I think Reid and LeBlanc are a lot more likeable than Clarkson and Hammond. They aren't as cynical either. The enthusiasm for the cars does come across. When they drive a car fast and they have a big enthusiastic grin from ear to ear there's something infectious about it that you just don't get with a grumpy git like Clarkson.
seeing MLB struggle to cope with the autocue, makes you realise that although JC wasn't everyone's fave bloke, he pulled the show together very well. that harris bloke annoys me, i think he's got the impression that he's funny from somewhere, the rory bloke is, well , just... pointless. and things like the boat project would have been many times better with james may at the helm.
if i missed the old TG i'd watch it on i player, if i missed a show from this run, i probably wouldn't even remember it had been on.
and sabine is starting to look her age now,
still would obv!!...
I'd watched some TGs at random from the Clarkson days, and it was OK, but obviously Clarkson is like Roger Mellie - and you have to accept he's got the role of big-gob alpha male and bullies the other 2
I watched this TG episode 1, it's OK
same principle - alpha male bullying the other 2
I agree that Sabine could not lead a show
I think one option would be to look at the "8 out of cats does countdown" trick, and put one or 2 very sharp comedians into TG, since it needs a spark of wit of a less cheesy type than the JC & Co style
Imagine the show with 2 out of Romesh Ranganathan, Jack Whitehall, Paul Merton, John Bishop, etc
I am not sure which of those might know enough about cars - but I assume some comedians do
Then you could mix in car experts with less wit as needed
The current show looks very scripted, and could be a lot more natural with quick-thinking wits added
Id get rid of le blanc though. Rory, Chris and Sabine would be the trio I'd go for as they all seem to love what they do - but each have their own character.
Not it sure where I stand on gt. the chemistry between them is great but again some of the aspects seemed more forced than when they were on the Beeb.
