Oh dear.
RIP TG.
Fred and Paddy's Road to Nowhere?
Well that's me done with it.
WTF. Can we still get teletext subtitles 🤨
OTOH Rory not being a main presenter is a positive. Good step up from Jacamo for Flintoff
No, no, no.
Well that's a crock of shi....
Anyone else been watching Fifth Gear recently? I've rather enjoyed the current series on Channel 5.
Paddy McGuinness? Really?
FFS.
Think I'd rather put up with Evans than McGuinness.... Can't believe I've written such a sentence. :/
So they are trying to turn it into a league of their own (lads lads lads, top bantz) but with cars as the vessel, rather than sport? I foresee Harris having the piss mercilessly ripped out of him whenever he starts getting techy about cars...
At least they’ll be able to understand each other.
No likey, no lighty.
Actually it's not so bad didn't they briefly attach James Martin to the show? I suspect so it would be a relief when they signed someone else.
Que?
I thought he’d renounced crimes against TV
Oh, bejeezus!
Wow.
Ok so in the interests of fairness should I give it a chance?
No chance, can't stand Freddie Flintoff, not a fan of Paddy - did like Chris Harris.
Extra Gear sounds better with Rory & Sabine.
I think the biggest problem is it all feels like a celebrity "Jim'll fix it" where the new presenters are giddy at the thought of getting to play at hosting their favourite show. They should be excited at the opportunity to create something, rather than turn up to play with cars as they imagined was the reality of Top Gear with Clarkson, Hammond and May.
The mash nails it...
Give Freddy a chance ..he drives a mean Fish & Chip shop van ..
That’s a shocking new lineup! To my mind Chris Harris will be the only one who actually knows anything about cars from the new line up
The last series was just about Ok with Reid, LeBlanc and Harris and they had some on screen chemistry developing
Personally I find Flintoff annoying.
Don't forget that Freddie is one of us, in that he has at least ridden mountain bikes in the past. I was speaking to Rob Penn after he rode across the Amazon Basin together with FF on rigid MTBs to highlight the issues over there, and he tells me a nicer bloke you would be hard pressed to meet. Good luck to him I say, I will watch and make up my own mind then, not now.
Freddie needs a few beers in him before he goes on screen to really loosen up doesn’t he?
Or is that get into fights..
🤣💩

Don't forget the pedalo as well - he has a wealth of experience with pedal-propelled vehicles, making him automatically better than most people.
Plus he is experienced in Top Gear 'writing rude words on stuff' type japery.
