I thought it was a good start. They spent a lot of time setting the tone for the future shows.

My only criticism would be the camera in front of the stage kept tilting upwards and downwards while they were talking. The mountains in the background looked like they were constantly moving as a result.

Im not sure if it was an attempt to get an arty style or if the camera man was just really poor.

Not really sure what the point of the dead celeb section was about either. It was worth watching and i will continue to watch as the show develops.

I might watch it after the football as it seems (some) people on here are enthused.

Just watched it & thought it was pretty good. What's not to like watching over 3m quids worth of hypercars tearing around.

I thought it would be rubbish & I wouldn't like it but pleasantly surprised. I just like watching cars so any donkey could present a car show & I'd like it to be honest. That is why the old Top Gear became tiresome for me as became less of a car show.

It's worth paying for Amazon prime to get it in 4k

Well if you all leech it for free then at some point Amazon won't make enough money to continue the show.

But I am not complaining. I think there is an offer £60 for amazon prime.

So each episode is £5 each plus you get access to Amazon Prime video (not as good as Netflix's but still some decent stuff) and you get free next day delivery.

I don't think it is bad value at all.

Still trying to watch it, gave up first time round as the sound was lagging stupidly...

Not massively impressed sorry.

Well as expected, much the same as TG with out some of the silly bits. OK but not great, it might improve so will give it time

I like the TG audience more, got bored of looking at those plastic teeth

The girl on the left of Clarkson was seriously off-putting. I just couldn't help but stare at the huge white teeth. As for the show...it's good to have the boys back together and just mucking around. Show was too long though and the scripted audience sections were not as funny as previous TGs.

The Mrs was also distracted by the white teeth women!!
It was also noted that the language used was more 'colourful'. Don't really think that was necessary really, still had kids in the room watching.

It was OK. Not amazing not bad... better than the first few episodes of top gear with Chris Evans that's for sure.

For me what ruined it is probably is the fact that they waited so long to air the show. Pretty much every car they reviewed have become 'old news' and reviewed to death on the YouTube car shows particularly

The holy trinity video would have been shot well over a year ago now at the same time as Chris Harris' last video on YouTube before he moved to top gear
