Pretty much the main problem with a few of their features this season (they didn't go much detail into the SUVs when they went to South Africa either).The main problem with the race is that they say nothing about the cars/bike.
Dunno if that'll reflect well in the ratings though...
Maybe I imagined it but I think Chris Evans described someone else as "the most irritating man alive".
Both Chris Harris and Rory Reid have made a great impact for me since they've featured more regularly on the main show. I just watched the Aston Martin segment and it had everything you wanted in a Top Gear video - passion for, ability with and knowledge of cars from the presenter as well as some great car cinematography. Reid may not have the same geekiness that Harris brings to the table but he makes up for it with a likeable presenting style and being pretty convincing and "on the level" when talking about his vehicle. Hopefully a new season will give the showmakers a chance to centre the action around these two from the start.Great episode, keeps getting better.
I do agree with the points about what the race film was missing, the passion for the cars and lines from them, they had to cover it in voiceover a lot.
But the show is finding itself as it goes on (shame it's taking time!) and again Rory is the unsung hero of it. Just watching Extra Gear too and it's a good one too.
I don't see Chris Evans in the OP? Is it a different one?
Yeah. Before the Chris Evans that you're thinking of was a big name, we in Britain had Chris Evans; an intriguing mix of utter genius at live TV - It's easy to forget how utterly groundbreaking Big Breakfast was with him at the helm, and later both Don't Forget Your Toothbrush and TFI Friday - and, well, extreme irritant.
He's the redheaded guy in the middle in the OP's picture.
How does the UK feel about him? Just weird to see Matt LeBlanc of all people included in what I consider a British show.
Hit and miss. He's presenter of a wildly popular breakfast radio show, the biggest in the UK. But others tend to find him annoying due to being energetic and a bit loud.
I'd say his radio persona's a bit different from his live TV persona.
Can you really get cars that good for £2500?
Why did they bring back that male Germaine Greer? He's so annoying.

Hasn't LeBlanc been in some UK shows?

One thing my girlfriend pointed out is that Chris Evans has worn the same outfit (yellow tshirt with navy/black jumper, jeans and big boots) three out of four weeks. First week, then the last two weeks in a row. Bizarre decision that amounts to nothing really, but it's weird enough to draw the eye.
Thought that episode was good, steadily improving which is to be expected as they find their feet.

The studio portions of the last two episodes were recorded back-to-back, they mentioned it on the radio at the time.

Jon Snow isn't at any risk of dying until his plot armour is stripped away. And that is... speculationUntil Bran returns to see what truly transpired at the tower of joy, he's going nowhere. The genius of this episode was that I was still on the edge of my seat watching the battle of the bastards even though I was 99% sure he was going to be the victor.That his mother is Lyanna Stark and his father is Rhaegar Targaryen

Given that Clarkson hates Tesla and thinks climate change isn't real, I'm not surprised it took him being off the show for them to review a Tesla positively.They finally did a Tesla. Took them long enough.

Well James did a while ago a car that ran on hydrogen i believe. So they were not fully against i think. Also they did i believe a full electric AMG ones.

Why is that? It's like buying a $60 game new when Amazon Marketplace has it at 50 cents. Is it that much of a gamble to buy second hand?
