Park Life 71 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 This auditioning thing is quite a clever idea...It builds interest and will get a buzz going regarding the re-launch. Whatever we think about him he's quite a sneaky geezer. I suspect there will be a turnover of hosts and guests to take the pressure off him and specific episodes will be themed in some way...Things like the Bond edition and so on...

Makom 0 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 I'm actually concerned that he doesn't change anything major at all, he genuinely seemed to think it was the greatest show on the planet. I'd class myself as a fan of what JC turned it into, but I have to admit I was getting pretty bored with it these last few seasons, they'd definitely run out of new ideas - they were simply tweaking minor details of past features - the races, the specials, the challenges. Ironically it was only the changes in car technology that were bringing something new each year, such as the various hybrids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anorthernsoul 1221 Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 The scripted format is shit, the show has slowly got worse over the years, the only thing that kept it together was the fact everything else on the BBC is absolutely woeful and the show brought a bit of welcome relief from all the other atrocities the BBC screens. Also like him or loathe him Clarkson brought a bit of charisma, without that the show will be fucking pointless as whoever joins the show will be a pale imitation.

Andrew 4748 Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 le blanc Why? Hes the right age, knows/loves cars, and is a better face for the US/World market than Chris Evans. It makes total sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes total sense. it's a complete departure from the naughty public school boy set up led by clarkson. who knows what the chemistry will be like? i can't be sure but i imagine international viewers might find it odd when le blanc, star of one of the biggest sitcoms ever, plays second fiddle to an odd, ginger english bloke. i can see it being pretty awkward.

Kid Dynamite 7025 Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Top Gear was horrific anyway man. 3 posh middle aged tories in Asda jeans laughing about their casual racism and taking part in blatantly rigged 'challenges'.

Sounds like heaven. "Err, can I have some rapidly warming, flat as a fart, 1 euro a pint lager with the breakfast instead of the tea? Oh! Any chance you can turn the sound up on top gear? Those nice chaps from Hull are a bit noisy! Cheers, Captain!" Edited February 5, 2016 by Howmanheyman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
