Understood MLB is not continuing due to logistics.

He's boning the producer.

It's not a secret - been living together for a couple of years I think. Talked about it on a chat show (Graeme Norton?)

I quite enjoyed last nights, except the tractor digging bit.

Rory, yeah might actually be warming to him now. At least he brings a different angle and humour to his pieces.

Chris Harris, he’s probably the best presenter now.

When this series finishes, what will Chiris Harris do? Hope he doesn’t go off back to YouTube land ..

Chris Harris is unwatchable.

Watched the 9th episode of the TGT last night and it was rubbish. Very disappointing compared to the earlier episodes in this series.

+1 kinda - it was on but I was paying it lip service.  No new/proper reviews like the previous episode.  Very dull use of our licence fee.

I liked last night's episode. Best one of the series so far.

Not looking forward to the change to Paddy & Freddy.....

Yeah, that was interesting... are all cars set up so they veer left when you take your hands off the wheel?

Or are they all knackered ?

Quite enjoyed last nights..... no handed drag race was a cracking idea! MLB seems to be a bit more natural now.
I'm hoping that Chris Harris will take over as the main presenter with Rory as a sidekick and the others just making 'guest' appearances - otherwise I'll not be watching.

I just hope that they can script McGuinness so that he comes across like someone else. Freddie should be good value though.

Shame the main line up isn’t going to be Harris, Rory and Freddie. With McGunniness doing something else, preferably on a different channel.

Give it a try in yours, let us know the outcome?

I heard they should veer left away from the centre of the road and on coming traffic.

I really enjoyed last nights episode, despite the lack of car reviews.

Road camber, innit?
Not if you're on the right hand side of the road/runway tho...

He's staying.

I like Chris Harris, he's funny, he can drive, what's not to like? He even likes a Mountain Bike.

I quite like McGuinness, but really only after a few beers on a Saturday night watching 'Lighty Likely' or whatever it's called. I'm told Freddie is funny on a Sports Quiz show he's on, on Sky I think, but it Football based I think so I've never been drawn to it. I'll have to see how it works out.

I can't be upset by TG any more, I'll watch it it's on, I wouldn't be beside myself if I missed one and I don't expect to be blown away by it.

Nah, I’d rather someone else do it.

Oh, Road camber.. good point. Maybe runways have it as well to clear standing water.. 🤷‍♂️

The comedian and former England cricket captain will join existing presenter and former racing driver Chris Harris to complete the new-look line-up.

Oh, good.

Though not too keen to hear the other two have either been banned from driving or have employed that Lawyer who gets Schlebz off driving bans.

Dont think that’s a very responsible angle from the Beeb at all... 🤦‍♂️

He can't present, he's unfunny and a bit dull. He can drive though as demonstrated last night.

Chris Harris's review of ordinary cars was the best thing that's been on TG this season.

Well that was pretty good.

Nice to see Stephen Mangen back on TV.

Rory did a good piece on the obnoxious Rolllllllle!

Harris still the best presenter, shown by the pics on the ST.

Glad it’s ended, the clip of the two norvern blerks looks pants.

That wasn't too bad Harris is still crap though he's  just wooden.

while I admire the engineering and build in that Roller, there is no possible way I could be convinced to own one, even given I had the means to afford it without a care.
I think that Aston would look betterer in a darker colour, that lime green did it no favours at all.
Like the look of that Fiesta ST, though...😬

Front lights are too small on the Aston.

Anyway I've come up with my Top Gear dream presenting team. Bring back Chris Evans, change Paddy McGuinness for Keith Lemon, mmm, who else? James Martin? If that doesn't kill TG nothing will. Looks like it has outlived TGT too, isn't this the last series?

If I had the money to be driven around in it, then I don't think there would be a nicer car to be in the back of. Probably in one colour though, more understated, slightly...

Thought the Ordinary Car Review was excellent.

Goodbye Matt and Rory. I'm sad to see the pair of you go.

Thing is, if I was spending that sort of money on a car, I’m buggered if a) I’d let someone else drive it, and b) pay them for the privilege of driving my bloody car!
I actually enjoy driving, I’ll be damned if I pay someone for the pleasure I’d otherwise be missing.

I'm keeping an open mind - it may actually be fun without the horribly stilted fake friendship of the last team.

Glad they've kept Chris Harris.

Flintoff is shit on that Sky version of A Question of Sport, and Take Me Out isn't exactly high quality stuff.

If Peter Kay's writing the scripts, might be fine though.

I'll probably skim the first one. If it's just Nuts magazine in cars, can't be bothered though.

Me.  I saw the preview and it just looked like a comedy show with cars, rather than the other way around.  I may watch the first one, but suspect I win't continue.

It was that under Clarkson and Co. - if you want in-depth car coverage Top Gear hasn't been the go-to show since William Woolard days!

It was yes, but it looks like it may be even more so. Maybe about from any Chris Harris solo pieces.

Harris has been posting some behind the scenes banter which he didn't do with the old TG lineup, so I think there's better cohesion between the three already.
Love Harris in his 'Chris Harris on Cars/Drives' from the early days. I hope they tone his pieces down a bit so he can be himself. We'll deserved platform for him though.
I'm looking forward to it.

Like a comedy show with people who aren't as funny as they seem to think.

I’ve written to the BBC asking for subtitles to be added to the programme..

That paddy bloke.. I can not understand one single syllable nor word he utters..

Looking forward to it. Not looking forward to all the moaners who don't watch it yet still feel the need for a moan.
