Top Gear

In the one I posted Mr Sniff has only altered the sizes of their noggins.

Even I dont understand why i find this so funny, but i do.

[JLv3.0]

There's nothing more to it? No back story?

Erm - lol?

The fact that the in-car photo looks similar, but appears to be unedited, makes me lol out loud. Paddy appears tiny. I wonder what Christine sees in him?

[Ascender]

I suspect and hope, that this is going to be good. They'd almost got it nailed with the last lineup, so I'm optimistic.

First thing I thought of when I saw on the Beeb front page was of the photo Chris re-posted above - even Freddies head looks a little small compared to his body

[jamcg]

Well I didn’t hate that......

[ShockDiamonds]

Enjoyed that, thought it was good.

[Rich B]

It was a bit dull, but definitely not as awful as I expected.

[Pete_]

Not far off Top Gear at its best actually, I thought.

[NotoriousREV]

I was wrong. It was actually good.

[JonMad]

Yep, that was very good.

[Foz]

Enjoyed it!
That Pista’s time

[Ascender]

Thumbs up from the family here, a good start.

[Orange Cola]

That was alright, some bits of newness awkwardness and a bit of childishness from Freddie (suspect Chris could get fed up with that in the long run) but the unscripted bits weren’t forced and actually funny

[mik]

It wasnt the worst thing I have ever seen, but I totally drifted off.

How can you record the fastest time and not show the footage of the fuckin lap? And i wanted to see the 600LT lap too.

[Rich B]

They obviously went as safe as possible for the first episode - pick a good old one and remake it - nothing we’d not seen before. But that’s probably not a bad idea.

Yeah, the lack of 488 lap was strange.

[Mito Man]

It was alright, I’m sure it will get worse as it goes on. Did the Pista have those controversial new tyres on which last less than F1 hypersofts

[drcarlos]

Wasn’t crap, parts seemed a little forced. Paddy still irritates me, but he knew his car and dropped in some little bits that showed he knew a bit. Will continue watching.

[GG.]

Agree with all of the above - it was an order of magnitude better than I thought it would be. Some bits were indeed a little bit forced but considering how bad the first series of the grand tour was I guess I was actually reasonbly impressed.

May well be they aired one of the best episodes first and theres a lot of filler later in the series but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt for now.

[Mike1215]

I knew from the prelim that 2 of the first cars were an old Mini and rwd Escort - was a nice bit of nostalgia as majority of my friends and me started off in one of those 2

Wasn't watching close enough to the Ferrari bit to hear whether they'd gone for the qualifying tyres again to get the lap time win?
