Yep same here , its going well id say & for now there's nothing annoying me to want to record & fastforward .
I guess there will always be a element of "been there done that " as with tonight's supercar snow scene but so what , it beats Call the Midwife :D

I like it. However none of them are naturals in terms of presenting.

Chris seems a little anxious and Matt is almost horizontal in his delivery. The other guy (don't know his name) is almost a none requirement in the role/script he has been given.

Just read in the news. Do you think chris harris knew he was insulting David Tennant's father-in-law with the Peter Davidson comment??
I thought episode 2 was another good showing and i certainly don't miss the over-inflated egos of the previous three presenters. I think given time the 3 new boys will gel and become more comfortable in their roles and we should see this on screen as a better performance.

I actually quite enjoy it but they do seem to drag out the special trips sometimes, find myself hitting the fast forward button occasionally

OK so I watched it and apart from the Alpha wished I hadn't bothered. Very stilted and over rehearsed but handy being able to press the fast forward button when the presenters were talking. :thumbsdown: Can only get better surely?

Caught up on iPlayer tonight. I found the features good - liked the Alfa and supercars. Star in the car was a bore but then I never really liked that in the previous incarnations. The banter between the 3 stooges is still a little hit and miss, but the programme was enjoyable overall.

I agree with Marlon. The car bits are good, but I hope it gets better. Anyone going to watch the new car SOS starting this week !

Much more relaxed viewing - it'll take time for them to settle into their roles but it's getting better :thumbsup:
