I goggled 'Top Gear' ratings the other day and there was a distinct downward trend of the numbers of people 'estimated' as having watched the programme since the Clarkson/May/Hammond trio left and went elsewhere.The figures spoke for themselves that viewers have given whatever the beeb broadcasts a big thumbs down ,especially when the ginger twat took over.The figures have never recovered to anywhere near where they used to be,being not even a third of previous figures.
Maybe if they changed the scriptwriters things might change.Difficult to say what a replacement formula should be
I still think that the best episode was the Vietnam special and the India special was the worst ____________________ Just talk bikes.What else is there?

I liked it, it's *almost* back to the Clarkson/Hammond/May levels of quality IMO. It's decent. It's a bit better than some of the poorest episodes of Grand Tour, that's for sure. |
The beeb panicked - having lost it's biggest global revenue earner, they tried to rescue it by getting their largest in house ego to front the revamp and it's taken a while to get anywhere near a winning formula.
To be fair, it took a few series for the Clarkson/Hammond/May effort to really get some traction and the repeat channels completely overlook the first series, sans May and with the instantly forgettable Jason Dawe in the third seat.
I've always thought the Clarkson TG was running out of steam (pretty sure I've said as much on here, more than once) and I feel I have been proved right by GT, which is mostly average and only occasionally excellent.
I was particularly interested by this most recent episode of TG, given the next special for GT is widely known to be in Scotland - beeb going head to head with Amazon? ____________________ Things get better with age; I'm close to being magnificent........
