Top Gear - Series 24

[Mentazm]

That car looks fucking cool.

[JohnC]

They're doing a companion show, Extra Gear, on BBC3 (or II!). Behind the scenes stuff and other extra bits. Presented by Rory Reid.

New trailer

Looks fun, despite Evans. I hope it's good just to shut up all the pathetic manbabies who cried when Clarkson was sacked.

[Scribblor]

I like the fact that Matt Le Blanc seems to be playing the version of himself he plays in Episodes. Maybe that's really him, but he doesn't seem like a real person from those tiny clips. Seems like he's acting. With Clarkson, there was a sense that he really was the person you saw on screen.

Clarkson exaggerates literally every aspect of his personality when presenting. Old Top Gear is one of the most theatrical shows presented as factual that I've ever seen

Just seen this.  Only surprise is that they didn't get Dara "I'm in everything, me"  o'briain in to host it.

In wonder who's classic Ferrari (250 GTO?) Evans is driving, it isn't his as he paints his white

Do you think? I've never been a fan of the show, only ever caught odd episodes. He seemed exactly as boorish on Top Gear as in every other interview or appearance on other shows that I've ever seen him on. I agree about the theatrical nature of the show: I never thought it was 'factual', but I genuinely believed Clarkson was just being himself.

[Mentazm]

He has opinions for money.

[JohnC]

It's starting on 29 May.

 

[womblingfree]

Hope Evans leaves soon. He's just about the only obnoxious, bullying manbaby who could get the show worse press than Clarkson.

[Avuncular]

You haven't even seen it yet.

[new member]

It certainly looks like top gear.

And yet I've already heard reports of bust ups with Le Blanc, producers quitting and general nobbery. The guys a liability.

That doesn't mean it won't be any good.

Thats true enough. I was thinking more about the constant drip, drip of negative headlines his behaviour can cause. I'd have bought the BBC would have had enough of that after Jezza.

[Mentazm]

Chris Evans is a zero talent ego maniac ginger paedophile. He's always been awful, all his bits are guaranteed to be cringe inducing at best.

Yeah. That's why he's rich and famous.

I'd agree to a point. That said, if you can be arsed with it, the episodes from 2002/2003 when it first came back are surprisingly restrained, almost to the point of being a different show.

[Mentazm]

 

Yeah. That's why he's rich and famous.

So are the royal family.

[JohnC]

How much of it did Evans inherit?

[Plissken]

Clarkson, Hammond and May played extremely exaggerated versions of themselves by the end. This was part of the problem because they simply couldn't act which made the staged stuff seem, well, staged.

 

Which is such a shame because the older shows with them being themselves are such good fun.

Speaking as a ginger I'm really not sure that it should come before paedophile in the list of issues. 

 

EDIT: you cunt faced shitehawk. 

[womblingfree]

Evans is rich because Don't Forget Your Toothbrush got syndicated.

 

He's the TV equivalent of a lottery winner.

[Mentazm]

Not got a problem with gingers normally, my best friend is one, etc. However him being ginger makes the sight of him more annoying to me, like he's a brightly coloured cartoon character.

[womblingfree]

He's completely grey. The ginger is now from a bottle.

[gone fishin]

I think the problem is that Clarkson played up on being a tosser and didn't seem to care what people thought of him. kind of like that old racist Uncle you've got.

 

Chris Evans is a tosser who tries to please everyone and acts like he's a man of the people, which comes across as shallow. See his comment yesterday "I know I get paid too much, the BBC should give people like us a pay cut"

 

Yeah? Well why don't you just take a lower salary you dyed ginger* haired prick? I'm sure the BBC aren't forcing you to take over £450k a year.

 

"I'm just like you!" says Chris while driving off in his Ferrari.

 

*nothing against gingers, but a middle aged man dying his hair ginger is pretty pathetic. Just like his hair restoration treatments to stop him going bald.
