That guy sounds like a professional victim.

Hes been accused of getting his old fella out and waving it at people who didn't do things 100% perfectly as punishment. That plus loads of his old staff accusing him of being a systematic bully has given him more to worry about.

So, they traded someone who physically assaulted someone for someone who has pretty much sexually assaulted multiple people. Good show BBC.

So they traded someone who couldn't perform his job with the level of decorum expected by the BBC and replaced him with someone who can.

In the first show of the new series, Chris Evans takes the Dodge Viper ACR to the home of Top Gun in Nevada, to battle Sabine Schmitz in a Chevrolet Corvette Z06. Matt LeBlanc tackles wildest Morocco in Somerset's finest off-roader, the Ariel Nomad.

Back on British soil, Evans and LeBlanc take a rather soggy road trip to Blackpool in a pair of roofless Reliant three-wheelers, whereupon they are tasked with defending the honour of their nations in a series of gruelling UK-versus-USA challenges.

Back in the studio, this week's celebrity guests are Social Network star Jesse Eisenberg and Gordon Ramsey.

So the guest element is -1 cheap car and +1 celebrity...? Looking forward to the other bits though.

I'm actually interested in seeing how it turns out. And then reading all the lame posts of "it's poo poo" from people who didn't bother to watch or only put it on in the background.

:agreed: I'm going to enjoy dickheads whining and trying to suggest how having multiple entertaining shows about cars being thrashed and huge road trips is somehow worse than having just one of them.

Top Gear will more than likely continue in a similar matter but now will be trying extra hard to do cool poo poo because they're up against Clarkson and crew. Clarkson and crew may now have a fire up their collective arse now that may spur them on to do even better stuff. The viewer simply cannot lose.

Looking back at the last couple of Top Gear seasons, maybe they had started resting on their laurels. It's not like Fifth Gear was much of a competitor, the only real competition for gearheads came from streaming shows, like Motortrend and ////////Drive, and then only from a couple of their features and it wasn't much competition in terms of viewers.

Now things have been mixed up a bit, Neo Top Gear has arguably the best part of /Drive in Chris Harris, I'm curious to see how he does on old-school telly.

Except that last season before they were interrupted by fracasgate was one if the best in years. That ambulance bit, for example, was right up there with the best stuff they've ever done.

Hammond's Patient Cannon was the funniest thing I'd seen on TGUK in a long time.

I'll give new TGUK a chance. I like Sabine and LeBlanc. The only exposure I've had to Chris Evans is when he's been on Top Gear, and he seemed like a total wet blanket.
