Why isn't anyone talking about this train wreck, about to unfold?
I am gonna watch it before I judge it
>>15160785
I hope the studio burns to the ground
Why are British people look like rats?
>>15160803
Watching a trainwreck happen is always the most fun.
when exactly does it premier?
and what's the usual method, BBC2 website with hola unblocker?

How can they get rid of evans before the next season?
Judging by the synopsis of Episode 2 on the BBC website, the reasonably priced car has been replaced by a Rallycross car
>>15160809
Bong here,
ratfaces are considered attractive on this side of the pond
>>15160785
We did talk about it. Months ago. We decided it's shit.
>>15160785
Because only butthurt Clarkson fans will bitch about it before it even comes out. I can be any worse than Top Gear US and I trust Joey to be a good host.
>>15161031
Clarkson and the gang's antics are what made the show.
I can only imagine what kind of bullshit the new diversity-friendly, politically-correct Top Gear is going to be like.
Has the first one aired already or something?
>>15161041
Its on in an hour and twenty minutes.
>>15160819
>>15160803
If we all watch it, then it won't be a trainwreck. Pirate it a day later and your view wont count towards supporting this atrocity.
>>15160809
Inbreds, inbreds everywhere.
All that race mixing is good for UK, only acceptable girls I seen there were mixed
>>15160882
>star in a rallycross car
Doesn't really have the same feel about it.
Nevertheless, I'm hoping it's not an abomination.
>>15160858
They keep saying they're making it their own and shit but this just feels like them trying to emulate their predecessors.
>>15160858
>tfw cant tell the difference between new and told top gear
meh
>>15161163
The first show will inevitably get good viewership, how many it retains next week is what's important.
>>15160785
BBC 2 is on and ready to go. I'll be watching to find out if there's any chemistry to it. I doubt that, though

Because we still want it to succeed. Just because some schadenfreude-type people want to see a nice house burn down doesn't mean the rest of us begrudge the people living there for having a nice house.

>>15161448
Glad it wasn't just me that cringed
>>15161461
I think the BMW meme rings truer for Audi drivers now honestly.
Evans is trying SO HARD on these voice-over segments.
For a radio presenter Evens can't do voice over for shit.
>>15161448
>>15161466
Clearly a piss take, I doubt episode two will have an intro like that.
>>15161478
I honestly dont see it, he's doing a good job talking about the viper
>>15161475
yeah but I had already wrote BMW by the time I remembered that
(also Top Gear said that all BMW dicks went to Audi)
>>15161481
Listen to his delivery of the lines.
They're forced as hell.
>race car suspension
Someone told me it was too technical...
>>15161479
It was terribly forced and should've been done.
They are literally opening with their worst host which now means the rest of the potentially decent people won't even get a chance. A shame
Why couldn't he have just done a good old fashioned test instead of this stupid lock on bullshit, this isn't informative or interesting whatsoever.
>>15161493
they sound the same
It's just talking technical of cars, both people sound the same. I have complaints, but pretending this is wildly different is just looking for things to be mad at.
Sabine looks ancient.
"Who wants to meet the first top gear presenter from outside the UK?!!!!"
>Local curry niggers
Yes, my culture will be enriched!
Very forced. All of it
GOD WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SEGMENT
>>15161505
Delivery is just as important here as content.
>>15161504
Because the Top Gear you want died about 12 years ago.
I hate Chris Evans so much

http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv/news/top-gear-unimpressed-audience-members-walk-out-on-chris-evans-before-filming-finishes-a7042081.html
>Chris Evans’s newly revamped Top Gear began filming on Thursday, with dozens of audience members reportedly leaving the studio before the show had finished filming.
>The host told the reasonably sized audience they would be 'on their way by 4pm', yet filming continued at Dunsfold Aerodrome until the early hours of the evening.
>A source told The Independent that from 4pm onwards people began to filter out of the studio, Evans and co-host Matt LeBlanc attempting to entertain the 'unimpressed' audience.
This is even more obviously set up than the previous series.

I got 2 minutes of Evans in before I just quit and went back to the Indy 500.
It was like if your uncool school friend got into a really cool job and tried to talk about it but you were used to a grumpy git do the job effortlessly before he got there.
All the fun has gone but the words are the same.

It's only out of curiosity. None of us will be watching next week's.
This is so bad. It's like they have a light up box when to laugh or clap

>>15161590
The times were in Evans's handwriting and not Clarkson's.
Christ Evans is such a cunt.
>>15161608
ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING
Imagine how different this thread would be if people like Edd China, Guy Martin and Rowan Atkinson were hired
what have they done
why did they not just have the balls to fork a new format and not dilute the chemistry of the previous three built up over a decade in an attempt to create it within a year of filming
just why
>>15161608
Now that is just TOO MUCH
>>15161620
They don't have the luxury of time this time around. They have to make it popular right away or they can't keep funding it.
So...nothing's happening.
This is worse than topgear usa...
The should have just called this 6th gear.
>>15161634
And they thought that this approach was the best idea? For shame
They've managed to botch the "cheap car road trip" segment as well.
Fucking Christ.
>>15160809
>English please
But to answer your question, millennia of island inbreeding.
>>15161642
More like 1st gear
Because despite trying hard to catch up, they're stuck at low speeds
you know
there's a reason they had more than two people on the cheap car road trip
there's a reason that when one of them got towed they just skipped him
>>15161634
So killing it altogether is better?

I guess I was wrong?
>literally only evans clapping at the water splash
oh god
THIS SHOW IS GROSS
How did brits let this fucker get so famous to be put in this position?
Le Blanc seems alright when he doesn't need to interact with other humans.
SHUT IT DOWN
>laser gun segment
>reliant segment
>ariel segment
Pulling out all of the stops in the first episode.
This is desperate.
When does Chris Harris come to make the show watchable?
I hear laughing, but why audience is looking so sad. Is this magic?
This bit with Matt is ok desu. Chris is simply insufferable though.
>>15161782
wonder why he's our favorite out of them
>>15161692
i dont get it
>>15161794
Laugh track. By this point the audience had been here for hours longer than they were told to expect, so they're all fed up and want to leave.
Chris Evans kept doing re-takes because he's such a hyperactive shit he couldn't get it right or accept a bad take (you know, relatively bad) and kept telling people who just wanted to go home to laugh at his shit jokes
I want to see more German waifu.
Also,
>Evans the only one in the studio clapping at the water splash
>>15161670
that would mean the BBC, or whoever was responsible, admitting to a fault.
can't have that.
Aaand another gimmick. Fuck.
The American guy actually is alright. It's just that Evans is fucking annoying really.
>>15161803
A lack of audience
Having two rows at the back higher to give the impression there's more people
desu this is working
Not original, but at least different and not unbearable
Beautiful as all fuck pictures from the BBC camera crew, though, as usual. Goddamn, they're good.
>>15161837

>>15161842
didn't they move to the GT with clarkson?
>>15161852

>>15160785
We've been talking about it since clarkson got fired you stupid newfat.
>>15161848
which makes me really sad that he and sabine decided to go with top shill and not wait it out for the clarkson hammond and may to invite them some time.
>>15161862
Clearly they've got more competent guys. Cause some of that shit is just great.
Evans is like an arsehole uncle trying to be cool, cant stand him
pls remove Evans
>>15161739
I just wanna punch that stupid face. I bet he smells like Gauloises cigs and shitty cologne.
did the action on the nomad look slow as fuck or was that just me?
I actually think Leblanc is an ok presenter.
Chris is fucking terrible though, just shouting constantly and being really over animated when everyone else seems subdued really makes it feel like they're on take 16 of whatever there doing.
Audience reaction and enthusiasm seems fake as fuck as well.
>Drunk puppet
Le Blanc seems to be mostly reading a script written for Clarkson, but tgis made me kek
>pleasure ALOOONE
I bet that got fucking re-recorded so many times for a decent cheer, it sounded like one of those which occurs after the first one was shit
>>15161880
he's more like the rich cousin who was spoiled as shit and just gets on everyone's nerves
>>15161851
He's American.
>>15161891
this is the worst part
it feels like they wrote the same script the other 3 had but split it for 6 people, none of the 6 are anything like the 3 either. LeBlanc is decent, but he'd be better if this shit was actually meant to be coming out of his mouth
>>15161852
>>15161855
Ah right.

The first two seasons of TG in early 2000 fell flat, because they wanted to try be informational, not so much entertaining.

god damn it nu top gear
That was a train wreck.
I'm considering watching Extra Gear, but I feel like that would just make the whole thing worse.
Matt was definitely carrying it though.
That old dude wasn't fucking impressed.
>Harris relegated to irrelevant BBC Three online show
fucking lmao shut it down
>>15162004
>>15162014
He'd have been the only real reason I'd have watched this at all. Well, LeBlanc turned out much better than I thought, but now...
It hurt to watch. I feel violated.
God that was even worse than I had anticipated.
>>15162027
>>15162030
Top Gear used to be some literal who car autist shit, so it had time to develop chemistry between the presenters and that's what made it successful.
It's now so high profile that they'll never get that luxury again. This had to succeed right from episode 1, which is why they went all out with repeating gimmicks from the old show to hook people. But it failed, and next episode's ratings will be a fraction of this week because nobody will be watching for morbid curiosity again.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p03w1dcs/top-gear-extra-gear-episode-1

Do people here not even act like Top Gear existed before the Clarkson era? You could consider the Clarkson/May/Hammond series a "reboot" aswell, which had equal pressures around that time to perform, and still managed to do decently even from the early episodes, and there was criticisms of the old version being too boring which made the whole audience-style studio setup an experiment with pressure to perform also.
>But wahh muh high profile
So why the fuck did they try to even emulate the banter between the other three so hardcore right off the bat? The old shit started off pretty casual, not forced like this, so you can't really compare them

Chris Harris' voice is a sight for sore ears
Retarded question but.. I just got home, any way to watch it now or do i have to wait for ze magnets?
Is the viper really big, or do we have a different smaller stig?
>>15162077
They should have done a completely new format.
Trying to repeat CH&M's format was never going to work with different presenters.
>>15162101
Or don't bother watching it
The strongest choice of them all
it was ok as a car show, but not really as a top gear
my main gripe was chris just didnt stop shouting and it got annoying

But i wanna watch the disaster :(
>Chris Evans has reportedly sodomized an audience member with a broom following their refusal to stop crossing their arms.

Apparently a number of other crew members left with the other 3. To keep the Stig's identity a secret, it's likely they're just down as a sound or set design or something like that

This.
Top Gear had been dead for about 2 years when it was revived by Clarkson
It premiered on a digital only channel called BBC Choice. That's no expectations whatsoever.
Did they ever explain why they mentioned Evans local curry niggers?
I lost focus because Evans but I'm sure it was just "Look! Diversity!"
>>15162148
>Did they ever explain why they mentioned Evans local curry niggers?
the human equivalent of one ton of downforce
>>15162087
put it on mega while you get a torrent up
>>15162148
They collectively weighed 1 ton. Which is the downforce of the Viper at high speed. It could've been an interesting thing, but it was just mentioned in passing, not even explaining to the non car folk what downforce does. Offhand and forgotten instantly.
>>15162148
They represented one ton of metric downforce, though since Chris needs to SHOUT EVERYTHING AND MAKE SURE EVERYONE GETS A ROUND OF APPLAUSE AND MAKE HAHAHA FUNNY BANTER IT TOOK FIVE MINUTES TO EXPLAIN THAT AND IN THE END IT WAS JUST FOR A SEGUE

guy martin
almost no one's heard of them apart from guy martin which means less ego, they're all on the same level so chemistry can build and it's more british which is what made the show.
they should have started again from the bottom but instead they rushed it and now top gear is kill.

Really didn't like Chris, but it felt like Le Blanc was too monotone
>>15162415
That's Le Blanc in a nutshell. Either he's Joey Tribiani or he's a dull fuck. There's absolutely nothing in between.
It feels like they tried to get someone like Clarkson, who is a bit of a cunt, and got Chris Evans who is a raging unlikable douchenozzle.
Who (already on the BBC payrolll) would you have hired in lieu of Chris Evans? They have to be a car person, available for TV work and an established celebrity.
See, not that easy is it
>>15162444
>already on the BBC payrolll
>See, not that easy is it
"Not that easy" when you put some stupid-ass restriction like

>>15162410
>After struggling to come to terms with the fame brought about by his media work, Martin was diagnosed with Asperger syndrome. Skeptical of the psychiatrist's findings, he says "It hasn’t changed anything, it just confirms why I do certain things in a certain way.
>>15162453
The BBC has serious cost-cutting requirements on it, in-house is how they had to hire
>>15162436
Clarkson is the sort of friend you'd go to the pub with for a good time, but you wouldn't invite him to your house for a barbecue. He understands why and doesn't mind but at the same time is unapologetic about it.
Evans is the sort of person who will turn up to that BBQ anyway and be a fucking dick to everyone all night.
>>15162462
Chris Harris would have been better to front it
When does the Amazon show air? I can't wait to see Clarkson smug face again
>>15162319
thanks
>>15161036
>I can only imagine what kind of bullshit the new diversity-friendly, politically-correct Top Gear is going to be like.
I see the memesters have arrived.
>>15162364
And yet he's still leagues ahead of Chris Evans. The important thing is he's passionate and he knows what he's doing.
>>15162467
>Clarkson is like a dildo. Can be fun, but you would not take it with you for a family xmas
It's like they're always stuck in second gear
>>15162444
Wouldn't have fired Clarkson in the first place. So actually, it is that easy.

Just finished watching it. Its really bad. The new guy is pure autism. "HERE COMES THE WATER YAAAAY" *claps alone
Holy shit man, they are fucking rude towards their guests, fucking insulting to eisenberg, because he doesn't know cars and doesn't have a la ferrari
>>15162589
he was filling in at the last sec
Just finished the episode. Here's my two cents.
I am quite amazed actually. It was just so bad. I figured that since they would most likely be able to keep most of the production staff onboard that not everything would drop in quality, but almost everything did.
The films were quite bad. The roadtrip was absolute wank. The first half of it was completely unentertaining even though they had the classic car breakdowns. They shouldn't have aired it. And the second half was also bad, although quite not as bad. The challenges were really dull and uncreative. They had a top speed race in extremely slow cars, they had a tug-of-war that had absolutely nothing going for it and they decided to lessen the focus on the cars by adding a bunch of sportsdudes on the back.
Also, even though cheating in challenges is a Top Gear classic, when Chris Evans does it, he doesn't come off as a cheeky bugger but just a complete cunt.
I think the only decent film was the laser tag one, which might be in part due to Sabina being the other driver and actually being entertaining.
The guest section just baffled me. It was really awkward to see Jesse Eisenberg and Gordon Ramsay introduce each other when there was absolutely no logical connection why the two of them were on at the same time. And yet, the guest section actually proved to be the best part of the show; Gordon and Jesse were actually a lot more entertaining than Chris or Matt. Especially Gordon. I imagine the guest section would have been better if you had taken out Chris completely.
The biggest issue of the show remains to be Chris. His fake enthusiasm is enraging and he has absolutely no delivery. Matt actually managed to have some okay delivery in the episode. But Chris just tanked, absolutely.
>>15161999
Russell Brand would improve this fucking show at least tenfold. And he doesn't even like cars in the slightest.
>>15162075

holy shit no, please tell me you don't actually do this?

>>15162597
it was so lame how he got his reliant on a flatbed, on old top gear they fucking put an egg in there and just kept going
>>15162066
>>15162031
>>15162004
Harris was the only reason I was watching. Hopefully he gets some on-and-off parts like Sabine.
>i feel need.....need for speed
>>15162624
In old top gear May would have arrived on a flatbed and the others would have laughed at him before being handed envelopes from the producers
>>15161634
It's a real pity because out of those presenters Matt LeBlanc and Sabine are actually good.
>>15162638
>wing my you any time
>>15162644
the problem is giving a fuck what old top gear would do.
they ended up making a shit copy of old top gear.
>>15162624
The flatbed completely ruined that segment.
>>15162644
As happened in mid-engined Italian supercars.
Sup /o/, /tv/ here, I'm a car fan but very amateur compared to you guys
Just watching Extra Gear, I love how you can see the pedals when Chris is driving the Nomad, I've never really seen the heel-toe technique in action before, it's pretty cool.
That's my two pennies. I definitely look forward to the segments made by Harris and Eddie Jordan.
>>15162396
>>15162680
It's like Ed Milliband got a gender-bender spell cast on him
>>15162669
I expect Extra Gear to be better than the actual show, since the actual show was just so bad.
>>15162684
you shut your whore mouth
>>15162680
She's a real beauty, in a british sense.
>>15162714
Her teeth are slightly crooked but not much
There'a hint of British in that smile
>>15162688
I don't think it was that bad.
Yes Chris Evans is a twat, and the bits with LeBlanc felt so scripted. Their bits in general were so rushed and jammed together.
But I loved the Dodge Viper, what a car. And I really like the new rally track to be honest, you could see a much vaster difference between an experienced driver (Gordon Ramsey) and an inexperienced one (Eisenberg) when it came to the dirt, and it's good they're driving a slightly better car now.
I definitely feel like this Top Gear can give more in-depth car insight than before. Clarkson and Co. don't really know a lot about cars and aren't very descriptive about it. Whereas Schmitz and Harris are both proper racing drivers who talk about all the details. And I'm sure Eddie Jordan will be like that too
>>15162733
>Whereas Schmitz and Harris are both proper racing drivers who talk about all the details. And I'm sure Eddie Jordan will be like that too
Two people who were completely missing from the episode and one person who was given a part inside one location film.
>>15162733
Top Gear used to be a car show. It was shit and nobody watched it.
Going back to it's /o/ roots seems like a bad idea
>>15162733
>Whereas Schmitz and Harris are both proper racing drivers who talk about all the details.
>he thinks Schmitz and Harris are going to be feature presenters
>>15162669
it's really common to show the pedals in japanese toegay videos
watching extra gear now, doesn't seem too bad
>>15162607
I do.
What's wrong with it?
>>15162733
>I definitely feel like this Top Gear can give more in-depth car insight than before
We have fucking Jewtube and Fifth Gear for that shit. Top Gear should be about a bunch of idiots messing around in cars.
>>15162763
Enjoy your PC being used as a gateway node for CIA spies and cp traders.
>>15162741
True but they will all appear at some point. The last Top Gear very rarely had proper racing drivers talking about how a car handles and stuff.
>>15162742
I don't think you should worry about them moving away from a mass audience. I think that's the last thing they would do. But it looks like they're genuinely making an effort to include some more in-depth stuff too.
>>15162763
>What's wrong with it?
A hell of a lot. http://adios-hola.org/
>>15162797
>But it looks like they're genuinely making an effort to include some more in-depth stuff too.
You mean the Dodge section? Because most episodes have at least one "Clarkson reviews a car" section, they're just the shit nobody really watched in favour of challenges and road trips
>>15162792
>>15162799
What should I use instead?
>>15162808
the car reviews were my favourite bit to be quite honest with you friendo
>>15162810

>>15162847
>the car reviews were my favourite bit
>>>/o/
>>15162751
I'm pretty sure they are, that's what they've said about it. Schmitz was even in a feature. And they've shown clips from a feature made by Eddie Jordan
>>15162753
I have actually seen that on Nürburgring videos but yeah it's usually in that little box, it's just cool to see it fully for a pleb like me that doesn't fully understand how it's done.
I enjoyed how Sabine shat all over the Z06.
What a piece of shit car :^)
Keep LeBlanc and Schmitz, kick the rest. Who would be the third?
>>15162893
Harris and Eddie Jordan. In fact i would just have them two and no one else.
>>15162902
the two guys on extra gear were better than evans and leblanc
>>15162335
erm...
>>15161655

You mean they've got the most torque to push this shit to the top slowly and forcefully

Absolute bollocks, Edd China is fucking awesome, he's more than capable of presenting on Wheeler Dealers so I have no idea why he would be bad for Top Gear
He could talk about all the oily bits. He could be the resident car customisation builder. Or he could do road reviews - he does some of them on WD, when Mike is too lazy to do the test drive
Here's my dream TG lineup:
Chris Harris
Eddie Jordan
Edd China
Fuck it, Mike Brewer too, throw a bit of cockney laddishness in there
And Tiff Needell, why not
>>15162857
you seem confused...
>>15162014
>Top Gear Extra
Serves him right for being a hypocritical cunt.
He has burned all the latest shows he had always trying to jump further up the ladder. If you look at his career he managed to consistently land on good positions, get recognized only to a couple months later down the road shit on whoever put him there and fly away.
The cunt is a proper backstabber with no reliability whatsoever. I wouldn't be surprised if BBC noticed that and relegated him to the behind the screens position to hold his horses in check and avoid having him use the exposition to get recognized and then wad off.
>>15162388
Women on car shows.
NO.
>>15162969
I'm pretty sure he will have features on main TG too
But yeah maybe in a way it would have been better if he had just kept doing Chris Harris on Cars, it looks like TG is hardly going to use him, probably because he has car geek appeal and not the mass market appeal that they're looking for
>>15162982
This, although I would possibly make an exception for Suzi Perry, she's okay, and she's pretty hot.
>>15162969
Basically this. He even poaches people from the shows he works on, such as Neil the cameraman from /Drive by spouting off promises of glory and wedge.
Then he fucks off further up the ladder, leaving Neil with nothing.
>>15163003
Women on car shows never work. They always, without exception, will have the stigma that they're only there to grab attention. Even if they're highly competent. The cunt+tits factor always overimposes.
>>15163009
Just be mindful of his last stunt with patreon. "hurr durr gib moni plox for vids", people indeed donated him a very nice montly check... only for him to stop posting vids all together... And I'm sure he still cashed in a couple months already being in talks with BBC.
I do recognize his competence as an automotive journalist, but the sob has shown time and time again to have a shit character. He wants to get famous and hes working towards it and it's fine, but the way hes doing it...
At the end of the ep. they named 5-6 celebrities that would be appearing next week. Is it turning into a chat show, or are they going to do the party thing they used to do on the old show?
I'll still watch it but it's still not better than the worst episode of old Top Gear.

>Women on car shows never work. They always, without exception, will have the stigma that they're only there to grab attention. Even if they're highly competent. The cunt+tits factor always overimposes.

>>15163031
Oddly enough, sabine is the only one on new top gear I don't actively dislike.
I was bored. The only parts of the old top gear that bored me were the celebrity interviews
that was really boring, I didnt even want to finish it and quit 40 min in
>>15162170
Where in that episode did you see that god damn scooter?
>>15162430
Perhaps he should do Top Gear as Joey.
>>15164648
I've been saying this to people all day. That would definitely make it worth watching.
