Matt Le Blanc to leave TG.
Re: Matt Le Blanc to leave TG.
Harry isn’t very good when he is reviewing modern cars though, he just doesn’t give enough shits about it.
How about not having a sig at all?
Re: Matt Le Blanc to leave TG.
Fair point. Damn your logic.

Should they replace him with another American?Mito Man wrote: Thu May 31, 2018 10:54 pm Harry isn’t very good when he is reviewing modern cars though, he just doesn’t give enough shits about it.
I would do it....if I could remain anonymous
Re: Matt Le Blanc to leave TG.
Sure, you seem pretty entertaining. I’m sure the anonymity issue can be solved easily enough

Re: Matt Le Blanc to leave TG.
Lord preserve us...
I'd like to see Jonny Lieberman from Motortrend get the job.
Re: Matt Le Blanc to leave TG.
ITV have changed the production company for the IOM TT coverage. Craig Doyle (who did a pretty good job as the main host) has gone and has been replaced by Jodie Kidd

No more Steve Parish either

Oui, je suis un motard.
Re: Matt Le Blanc to leave TG.
It would be nice to see Harris become the anchor rather than the goon and butt of Joey’s jokes.
However, does this cement Rory’s place for a while? That’s an unfortunate corollary if so.

Re: Matt Le Blanc to leave TG.
Oh, and I’ll add Nick Grimshaw to the list of possible replacements because he’s finishing the R1 breakfast show. I doubt he even has a driving licence but that probably wouldn’t rule him out.

Re: Matt Le Blanc to leave TG.
I’m still very upset by all of this. The show in previous years has been very obviously made by, and for, people who love and understand the TT. Now it feels like they’ve thrown that away.Marv wrote: Fri Jun 01, 2018 8:15 amITV have changed the production company for the IOM TT coverage.

Re: Matt Le Blanc to leave TG.
I swear to god right now, if Grimmy gets the job I’ll go on a killing spree.

Harry with Chris H and RR? I don’t think he’s be able to put up with the hyperactive ones for more than 5 minutes.
Guy Martin would keep the subtitle editors at the Beeb busy at least
JK too flouncy. James Martin would change SIARPC to SMOAFATC (revels to the first person who works that out).

Re: Matt Le Blanc to leave TG.
Funny how much that doesn’t surprise me. That looks about as painful as listening to the annoying twat on the radio.
Re: Matt Le Blanc to leave TG.
I thought Grimmy was just moving to the afternoon slot, not leaving the station altogether?

A pity. He came across as a genuine petrolhead. Chris and his chemistry seemed to be going in the right direction too.

Just sayin'
LeBlanc was just ok IMO. Too wooden.

It would've probably made more sense if the guy wishing him well said "he's just a shite actor, this is a mistake" though.
