I watched the new series of Top Gear last night, did anyone else here?
I thought the first episode was quite good and much better than last years. As much as I don't like the "celebrity" section it was good to see the old track back. One thing I would like is for them to actually test a car, I don't mean s £2m Ferrari but something a little more down to earth! I know Rory said he's looking at a Renault Twingo(?) soon so maybe there will be more of that coming up. Looking forward to the next episode.

Much improved in lots of ways in my opinion. Great to see the piece on "high milers" showing there is plenty of life left in a car with 500K miles on it.
It clearly doesn't have the budget of the Amazon produced series but in ways it may be all the better for it.

Think it goes along the lines of "if it ain't broken...."
3 presenters having a bit of banter, mix of high end stuff to drool over and down to earth stuff that is affordable and some fun with a celebrity in a reasonable car. Cheese and the Ginger one have gone. Thumbs up from me

I enjoyed it. There was some positive chemistry between the presenters, and with confidence this could grow. The 'moon & back' mileage cars piece was good. All in all a success
The rotters. They mentioned Ronin...... and then showed an M5. Bah!

I enjoyed it too, was pretty good, and as said above we petrol heads are the winners in all this, we have two decent car shows now which must be better than the ****e that current dumbing down of TV has resulted in TBH
And Nick I agree, how could they mention Ronin and not show the S8...
