Judging by Clarkson's facial expression in that promo pic... yes, they knew exactly what they were doing.

Easiest way is to use iPlayer on an iPad with VPN, I currently use tunnel bear, and just mirror it to my TV.

pretty excited to see what this new top gear will bring

Matt Leblanc is such a low key guy though. I hope he brings more energy than that interview, because he's just so chill and quiet. I don't doubt he's a big gearhead, but part of what makes Clarkson, May and Hammond so great is their stage presence and voices. They're exciting to listen to.

Not so excited to hear Joey talk about cars.

I watched that interview and all I could keep thinking was "Damn Kate Beckinsale is still smoking hot, makes Emelia Clarke look pretty average"

Just pirate. If they're going to make it difficult to get legitimately, I'm not going to go out of my way to give them money when I can torrent it so easily.

I would actually love hearing Joey talk about cars, Leblanc not so much, he needs to treat it more as an acting role, than just being himself

Chris Evans is trying waaaaay to hard to imitate clarkson. Also tells the audience to do shet and his jokes suck

I didn't like the new celeb part, its was nice when there were actual questions asked about them. Hope this format doesn't stick around, but I wouldn't be surprised if that is the direction they want to go with.

But other than that I have seen every car on display in DTP just by cruising about in Richmond, thank you very much for collecting them together and get someone to sing a cover for "fuck you".

Did not like Chris Evans. Totally the wrong tone for Top Gear.

Joey is pretty damn good though. Pleasantly surprised by his segment.

chris evans seems... overly hyper? like he tries too hard to be enthusiastic about every single damn thing. id imagine long time top gear fans would stop watching soon due to his annoyance but newer top gear fans will continue to watch as its still one of the better motoring shows out right now. anyone else notice how much sabine has aged?

Meh the first episode was alright. Too much audience clapping and Chris Evans shouting. Matt Leblanc was pretty entertaining though.

I went in thinking I'd probably like Matt LeBlanc, I ended up loving him
Very much enjoyed his bit in the Nomad.

Hated Chris Evans though, and I liked him when he and James May did the bit on his garage full of ferraris on old top gear.
He came off as a total try-hard, and not in a I'll-put-up-with-him-cause-hes-trying-so-hard way, more in a I-want-to-punch-him-in-the-face way. The whole show he just seemed to be trying to be a over-hyper Clarkson 2.0

I think Matt LeBlanc + Chris Harris + anyone else, would've been better than Matt LeBlanc + Sabine Schmitz + Chris Evans

The audience segments are live right? If so he'll probably tone it down after the feedback
