Me saying I watch all my motoring content on youtube =/= I watch every car video on youtube ;).

Top Gear is in a death spiral now, it'll be the same old scripts with progressively less interesting presenters until someone pulls the plug.

I noticed that Harris is working with Drive again, he appears on their show in the US. He's obviously not banking on TG paying his bills forever either.

You'll never know tho as you'll not watch it.

First Archie Orange Face vid I watched - people said he's terrible, had to see if they were right. They were being kind - he's fucking awful. :lol:

I've managed to avoid Paddy McGuinness the light entertainment presenter up to this point, I'm not about to give in now. It's a slippery slope to watching shows with Ant & Dec :lol:.

Yes this. Even allowing for the standard 'attitude' which appears mandatory, he doesn't seem too chuffed.

I always disliked Jonny Smith until recently until I caught Sniff & Smith on Youtube.

When he isn't hamming it up for broadcast friendly TV and actually being himself, he is really quite likeable.

Possible missed opportunity.

Don't forget there's one more season with MlB and RR yet to air. It's only after that it'll be these two.

He and Tom Ford are a pretty good partnership, I'd watch them with Harris.

Are you really saying a car show should be presented by 3 petrolheads? Fuck off, that’ll never catch on.
How about not having a sig at all?

He's the guy behind https://www.edmunds.com/ I presume? Didn't realise he was also a TV presenter.

Absolutely not. That was when he was at peak ham.

It's Harris / Johnny / Me

Have you seen their more recent adventures together, N? They're funny, have natural chemistry together and they love the same shit cars you, me and Zedleg like.

In the past I have found Ford over exuberant and zany.

I'll give his content another go if he has toned it down.
