He was like Davina McCall with a willy.

No problem. The BBC has excellent experience in managing this stuff.

Only thing he has ever been in that I liked was billie piper 😀

I feel a wee bit sorry for the guy, he was doomed to failure before he even started. First episode he was properly annoying but felt the later episodes were improving

[techieboy]

Yes and he said it himself when he initially distanced himself from the job, so he's only got his twattingly annoying ego to blame. The more and more the BBC took back control and edged him out of being the main man, the better (and it was still pretty sh!t) it got. There was no way Rory and Monkey were ever planned to get as much airtime in the main program as they did towards the end, but management recognised Evans was a liability and started tweaking it. Hopefully, assuming the rest of them stay (would happily lose Sabine and Eddie though) they'll at least have a chance of forming an easier more comfortable screen relationship between themselves, without him wanting to be at the centre of everything. Now if they just bin the star in a slight less ropey piece of sh!t car and lose the whole double guest interviews thing, we can get back to more entertainment and not have to endure him making a rolling advert for the cars in his collection.

Agree with all of that Matt, although I was surprised that Eddie didn't annoy me as much as he usually does, he was uncharacteristically subdued I thought. Still want him off my screen.

[Stevie Dubyah]

I liked Rory Reid. Also liked Chris Harris when he was at arms length, reviewing fast cars and not in the studio.

 

Sabine wasn't really in it, so no idea if she's any good or not. Eddie Jordan is out on principle, but (forgive me) I thought Matt Leblanc was a good anchor.

 

Star in a reasonably priced car is (and always was) a shocking piece of television and should go the way of the Cool Wall and Top Gear Dog, while anything that requires a clap-o-meter (especially to decide whose car is cool) should be burned with fire.

 

They dropped my favourite bit of the old TG. The three of them sitting there and exchanging laddish banter ("I looked on the internet and I found this...." anyone?) was the best bit of it. It needs a decent, credible automotive journo to come and complete the Leblanc/Reid duo.

 

Throw in a few 80s (you pick the era) cars vs their new equivalents and a TG Special and we're back in business.

 

Finally, because I know someone will suggest it, NO MOTORBIKES. I remember the show in years gone by and Steve Berry's segments used to jar.

You'll get me nostaligic for proper Top Gear talking like that, I liked Steve Berry. I also liked Tony Mason's rally reports.

 

Proper car reviews from Jezza and Quentin..

 

Those were the days...

I liked Steve Berry - "over the years, many times people have thought putting a car engine in a bike was a good idea. They were wrong..."

But his segments always seemed incongruous with the rest of the show.

 

William Woollard, Chris Goffey and his doppleganger, Noel Edmonds would never stand for motorbikes.

 

Which reminds me, Kate Humble was probably the worst TG presenter ever.

I won't miss Mr Evan's weekly same wardrobe get up....jeans/boots/jumper. Does that man not wash?

[techieboy]

Certainly doesn't shave, the messy b$astard.

I'm actually excited at this so hoping it's good. A 'Star in a reasonably fast car" (GT86) should be a much better feature than the rally cross shite.
