Well it would seem that not even his co-hosts are CE fans with every news outlet reporting that Matt LeBlanc will leave if Chris Evans does not go.

Attitude, rudeness to others and frustration during filming quoted as reasons.
 
I so t mind the new series and agree there is a fair degree of awkwardness between the hosts but I would want Le Blanc and Harris to stay and not so bothered about the rest. The young lad is alright as well but I can't even remember his name!! :cry:
 
Reid & Harris should front a completely refreshed format maybe keeping Le Plank for entertainment value. The production quality has been epic so no complaints there, it's just that it's been a re-make of the old format and stunts without the lovable trio. It was always going to be a lost cause really.
 
It's been said before I know but the old show worked because of the chemistry beteween the hosts - that can't be manufactured!

Fully on board with this.

those two would be fantastic just doing it alone
 
Is it t just my imagination but isn't CE already being faded out compared with the first 2 episodes?
Seem to have seen less of him in the studio shouting about everything.

The sooner he goes the better.
 
I expected to hate the new TG, and was right when it initially came back- but it has progressively improved and now I actually look forward to it. It's not the same as the original but if you ignore that and watch it as a car show it is pretty good

Matt LeBlanc needs to stay. He's really good. CE is shouty, bossy and grates. He needs to keep to the radio imo.


Watching it now. Chris Evans is no good with anything scripted, it comes over false. Radio and chatting with guests he's fine!
 
Well I watched a couple on Iplayer and apart from Evans they seem OK. So trying to watch live tonight. Have the sound turned down at the moment, waiting for Evans to p#ss off out the shot and shut up. :thumbsdown: Then I will turn it back up and hopefully enjoy the rest of the show. :D
