I may be wrong but I’m sure that I read somewhere that when he’s not acting he has a bad stammer so he may not be the best as a presenter. Have you ever seen him interviewed on a talk show? I can’t recall it myself.

Yes on top gear.

"So, which one of the four cars you drove on our Top Grear track was your favourite?....."
"Ooh, I'd say the Mercedes AMG. Power. Control.. etc..."
"Final answer?"
"Wrong show"
"Bugger...."

Starts this Sunday, great shame about Matt Le Blanc he was very good but let's move on, hopefully we see Rory included
Like playing Glenn and Tomer up front.
Rearrange the following words into a sentence: Mouth, sodding, your shut.
Only kidding. He's an actor. He has no actual personality or presenter skills of his own.
For me, Adrian Chiles and Charlotte Church would nail it. Get in the ****ing back seat!

I lost interest when the presenters became more important than the cars. Most stunts are little more than children's TV.

I like Top Gear, old presenters (and on Grand Tour) and recent. I only hope that this doesn't turn out to be just a series of silly stunts. The trailer is not encouraging on that front.

There are degrees of silliness. The bumping thing was a bit of a running joke that probably outstayed it's welcome. The last series of Grand Tour was IMO slightly different and enjoyable.

Jury out on Flintoff but watchable thus far. I'm not missing Rory.

New series starts tonight and these three are very good in my view.

I watched the Christmas Special and the new people were ok all the while they weren’t trying to ape the banter of Clarkson and co. Unfortunately they were a lot of the time.
They need to find their own style. Ideally they’d also introduce things that weren’t there previously, taking it into a slightly different direction.

It's a difficult act to pull off the one of taking over the hosting of any shows formatt and not constantly being compared to previous hosts and the BBC have not made a very good job of replacing Clarkson et all but I really like this group of characters and yes they ape the banter a bit I guess a lot of it's scripted and hopefully as you said this can edge away from previous presenters styles over time

Well, from what I've just seen at half time in Citeh game, there is absolutely no chance I will ever watch again.
Hitting golf balls at a convertible car being driven by someone in a dinosaur costume. What a sad sack of cack and a total insult to anyone's intelligence.
