Report from The Sun (yes I know it's a tabloid) outlining a so far disastrous start to the new Top Gear with Evans
-Evans apparently crashed a brand new Jaguar tester on his first time around the famed Top Gear track.
-The show “has had to become a lot more PC following the Clarkson row,” which will likely disappoint fans of Top Gear’s edgy humor but shouldn’t surprise anyone considering how much trouble it was always in before.
-Evans, called a “control freak,” is at odds with producers; he wants total ownership over the show like longtime producer Andy Wilman had but the BBC says there’s too much at stake for a show worth “more than £50 million a year” in merchandising, live events and other revenue sources.
-The BBC wants Evans to give up his radio work to focus on Top Gear, and Evans hasn’t been willing to do that. Evans also apparently isn’t very good at pre-recorded videos, which is all Top Gear is.
-The production team apparently “doesn’t know anything about cars,” leading the Top Gear magazine staff to be brought in to suggest ideas.
-The mainstream public isn’t as excited about Coulthard, Schmitz and Harris as we are: “The appointments came after big names including Zoë Ball, Jodie Kidd and Suzi Perry had all been linked to the revamped show before they ruled themselves out.”
-The story says Evans wants them because they’re relative unknowns outside the car world, and he wants to stay the star of the show.
-BBC brass are "freaked out" over the prospect of having to compete head to head with the old TG cast on their new Amazon show
All in all, sounds like they are about to wrap this fucking show around a tree in a glorious firestorm of failure. Sabina being a contributor is literally the only thing I saw as the least bit interesting. I feel like Clarkson, Hammond, and May must be laughing all the the way to the fucking bank on this
Guess I'll stick to Motortrend and Fifth Gear until Clarkson/Hammond/May find something new.
I know the BBC wanted Clarkson gone but I imagine losing May and Hammond was a catastrophe for them. Top Gear is one of their top 3 biggest shows worldwide, right alongside Doctor Who, and losing all of the show's stars is a recipe for disaster. They put up with Clarkson's shit for a long time too because they knew he was valuable.
Who knows how the new Top Gear will do. Obviously the BBC wants to be more in control of the show, and if Evans ends up being an asshole to work with they'll fire him faster than they did with Clarkson.
On the other hand, I don't think that Clarkson's Amazon show will be anything near what Top Gear was. They had loads of money and loads of talent to work with at BBC, I don't think they will have nearly as much with Amazon.
Why am I totally unsurprised that Chris Evans is a total fuckwit
>>14161570
>Motortrend
Shit taste.
Road and Track is much better.
>>14161598

Amazon if giving them 7 Million an episode just for the shows budget:

In a few years the BBC brass will have to grovel and beg Clarkson & co to come back.
>>14161621
Road and Track is literally just the sporty version of Car and Driver. Same company.
>>14161603
>>14161621
>not hot rod magazine and grassroots motorsport
I remember when he was a guest on Top Gear he dead seriously says about his California something along the lines of "I love sharing the car with the public, I even let my gardener look at it sometimes," what a clown. Of course it's going to be a disaster.
>>14161615
As someone who knows nothing about TV, is that a lot or a little?
>>14161643
To put it in perspective, Top Gear used to have a budget of 7 million pounds per season.
>>14161643
edit: nevermind, I actually read the link
>>14161633
I only read Road and Track for Baruth articles.
>Guys we need to be SO PROGRESSIVE with the new Top Gear!
>The leading man should be gay!
>And we'll have a woman!
>I dunno, and Chris Harris, I guess? That'll do
I bet they're all scratching their fucking heads wondering why things are going to shit. Chris Harris was a great idea, Sabine was alright, but I can't stand Evans. It's blatantly obvious they went for a quota approach though.
>>14161621
>trusting the people that said the 5th gen Honda Prelude was better, handled better, and is more of a sports car than E36 and Miata
when's the clarkson/hammond/may amazon show happening?
>>14161656
Does this mean that Harris is going to abandon /Drive a second time?
>>14161665
End of this year-ish, apparently.
There's no set date yet, but they started filming stuff back in October.
>>14161665
tomorrow
So the Amazon show is only getting 1 episode a month? I'd rather they make it bi-weekly and bring the budget down to 3 million, which is still TWICE the budget of a Top Gear episode. And they did some pretty amazing shit on that show.
>>14161668
Harris has become a neat little money whore.
He did alright videos, but I'm starting to dislike the character the bloke shows.
> plis supurt patreon 4 utub bids
Hasn't put out any more videos than he used to, in fact even less, yet keeps taking in all the money he cans.
Back with that JF faggot. TG. Doing ads for auctioneers disguised as videos on is channel.
Lad managed to create a proper racket.

He's a British nationalist in a post-manufacturing Britain. I think it hurts him to realize that all the great British marques are foreign owned.
I hear Jaguar is going to install a toilet feature.
>>14161804
Before the reboot his reviews of American cars were pretty positive.

>>14161615
I just hope the bigger budget doesn't ruin the feel of the show.
>>14162353
call me a foolish optimist, but I don't think the budget will change the chemistry
>all people care about is internet drama
To be expected of faggots who still watch TG. It stopped being a program for car people like a decade ago, it's just yet another "scripted reality" show.
>>14162369
Chemistry, no. I'm just hoping they don't jump the shark with more staged garbage. Having a larger budget isn't necessarily a bad thing, but some of their best segments were lower budget ones.
>>14161603
Hot Rod or nothing.
>>14161563
topgear was FUCKED the moment they lost the 3.
now they're returning with a bigger budget, who the fuck would watch topgear over clarkson, hammond and may on amazon?
>>14162455
Sure.
Jews that ruined a perfect show for dem monis.
>>14161598
>clarksons shit
Yeah, the guy who refuses to go quietly into the PC, feminazi bullshit world. Clarkson should be hoisted on shoulders and paraded around town. I'm not saying you have to agree with him on politics or whatever, but the man was a fucking MAN in this world of cucks. I'm so glad he's gone from the bullshit. Online streaming is like the internet right now. FREEDOM. I hop top gear dies a horrific death and Amazon Gear makes them millions.
i binned the telly and stopped paying the tv tax
>>14162458
I also wonder if the Trio's new show will be a hit. Bbc was a national public telivision show with a mirror on us cable and sattelite providers. Amazon is the stepchild of the streaming services that you get as a bonus after you pay for free shipping.
Who has amazon?
>>14162545
no-one has amazon.
but everyone fucking loves the trio. they will either pirate it to watch it or get amazon just for them.
not even joking, they are that popular.
BBC shot itself in the foot trying to be all progressive
>>14162458
>the moment they lost the 3
they were fucked the moment they lost clackson
they knew a massive shitstorm would happen when they fired him, thats why he was given so much leeway in the past
i'd even go as far as to say that they were at least aware that hammond and may could leave when they cut clarkson off. And with how popular TG was on Netflix/Hulu, I'd even go further and say that the idea of him/them getting bought up by a streaming service online at least popped up in one of their heads at one point
However I bet they put all their chips on the notion that "oh they're old they'll probably just retire for good"
>>14162572
To be fair, his punchup happened outside of work, at the end of the day.
They should have let the 2 men handle it on their own terms, instead of trying to be all politically correct.
Guess what, men fight. Fucking deal with it.
But BBC had to live up to it's name of being all progressive and now look, they're FUCKED.
>>14161563
of course it will be
>>14162556
>no-one has amazon
Yeah it's only the most popular company in the world. lol. And a fuck load of people have amazon prime which gives you access to the streaming. I GUARANTEE more people have amazon prime than had BBC.
>>14162600
Do they? I don't know, but my point is....amazon could be a literal nobody, the moment they picked up the trio they got guaranteed subscribers.
Their views will skyrocket now.
Topgear was loved by everyone all over the world and nothing's going to change except a bigger budget!
Clarkson, hammond and may made the show, not the topgear name.
>>14162607
...you clearly know nothing about amazon. They will pick up SOME subscribers, but they have a retarded amount of customers.

>>14162619
I honestly don't, i said that in my last post.
My point was though, a literal no name company could pick them up and instantly be successful.
The fact a company with a big budget picked them up only makes it better.
>subscribe to amazon
amazon has a private bittorrent tracker?
seriously was there anyone who didn't torrent the show or use get_iplayer?
>>14162539
>not eating the telly
>>14162630
I pirated it because you couldn't get it here in the states. However, with Amazon I will happily pay to support it so it continues. Also you get a TON of shit with prime. You can pirate it or spend a couple bucks a month to support the fellas. IDGAF if they become billionaires. They entertain millions and STUCK TOGETHER. They are what everyone should strive to be. Loyal. I'll support them all day.
>>14162556
Pretty much everyone has prime instead of netflix in yurop.
>>14162545

My mother changed her cable television plan to the bare minimum and watched stuff from Amazon Prime and Netflix all the time through a Roku.

I've already decided to get an Amazon Prime subscription the moment I heard about the trio getting a show over there.
>>14162444
This. Some of the high budget stuff like the police chase with the tank was kinda boring
>>14162444
How much did the Christmas specials cost to make? I can't imagine it cost more then 100k to ship the crew out somewhere and buy some used cars.
The Burma and Vietnam specials hold a special place in my heart.
>>14162271
British TV killed itself. I never understood the die-hard following shows like Dr. Who have. The writing and acting seem poor, the plot is... an acquired taste, and it just seems like a show that should've died back in the 80's.
Monty Python was great, and like much of the early Simpsons seemed to predict the future.
I really can't find a British TV show that is good. That being said, it's hard to find a TV show in general that's good. Most of modern television is "reality" TV, or poorly-acted and writted crime dramas like NCIS or CSI.
>>14161563
>crashed a brand new Jaguar tester on his first time around the famed Top Gear track
into what?
>>14161563
I don't care. Chris Evans is a shithead ginger northern scumbag, and I refuse to watch anything he's in.
It's not Top Gear without Clarkson. At all. And it'll be dead without the banter and with language barriers.
> Going PC
Fuck that.
> No rebellion against the BBC Agenda
They may as well have a tranny presenting a segment on bicycles.
> Losing big names like crazy
That's what you get for trying to get them.
I'm following Jezza to Amazon Prime. They've got the old production team with the knowledge, they've got the presenters' knowledge of cars, and Jezza's been filming Top Gear since before Chris Evans was even born.
>>14162981
i think tv watching normies want comfy rather than good.
so you get the archers and last of the summer wine and doctor who and coronation street and top of the pops and antiques roadshow and gardeners world and they run and run and run forever even though the original cast died of old age, and there's a nation-up-in-arms shitstorm if a long runner gets axed.
>>14162906
Presumably they'd have cost a hell of a lot more if not for the way Jezza is super popular among the british armed forces.

>>14161709
I'm sorry you can't watch his highly produced videos for free.
Oh wait you can.
>>14161642
and he painted all his Ferraris white.
>>14161563
Dunno if any of you lot have read Richard Porter's "And on That Bombshell", but it provides quite a lot of interesting insight into how the show used to work.
Basically, Clarkson was always a spectacular control freak, and new Top Gear was his baby. Everyone else spent a most of their time realising, improving and presenting HIS ideas. The reason the show worked, Porter reckons, is because he was a lot better at his job than people give him credit for, and because the production team recognised this and saw how their own talents fitted in.
Thus, it doesn't matter of Evans is a control freak, provided he has a good, clear vision for the show and a team of talented people around him to make it happen. Does he? We shall have to wait and see.
>>14161598
Most of the old TG production team abandoned the BBC when Hammond and May left. They're now currently working on the Amazon show.
The new TG "production team" knowing nothing about cars is absolute kek and I so dearly hope TG crashes and burns and all we're left with is the magazine and website.
>>14162545
I pay for Prime but I've never used the streaming service. I will once the Clarkson show comes on though.
My brother pays for it and uses it mostly for streaming in addition to netflix.
>>14162981
That's not really fair. Britain has made a lot of very good dramas recently, replete with good writing, acting and camerawork. Don't know if any of you watched that televisation of An Inspector Calls a couple of months back, but it was absolutely killer.
Thing is, none of that stuff makes it back to the states because you're making an awful lot of your own good television, so you don't really need any more, I think.
>>14161563

>>14162399
This anon has a point, it did become a scripted reality show. I couldn't stand the little "funny segments" complete with that fucking reality show music. You know what I'm talking about.
That isn't to say the show wasn't still good, the specials stayed great, I just hope they keep doing shitty car challenges even with the huge budget.
And no matter what it will never be as bad as the average TLC reality show. God help us if it ever comes to that.
>>14162592
Let's never go quietly into that PC dark anon. We'll fight against it with our last fading cry "Nigger"

>It's blatantly obvious they went for a quota approach though.
100% this, I'm all for the best man for the job but a perfect lineup of 1 white male, 1 non-white male and 1 woman just stinks of quotas.
I reckon that new Top Gear is going to be a lot like old old Top Gear. Actual consumer reports, a focus on the everyman and probably an electric car section every week. The biggest issue is going to be replacing the chemistry the original 3 have.
>>14164077
Who the fuck would want to watch that?
>>14163071
about which special you are talking about?
>>14164098
Sounds like the Middle East special
>>14162981
Britbong here.
I don't watch British TV anymore. I stopped watching Dr Who this year since watching from the 80s, due the the appalling state of the writing. It was never good, but it's somehow become 400% worse despite a better Doctor carrying the show. With the loss of Top Gear and Dr. Who, I have no reason to watch TV anymore.
All that's left is normalfag shite, like Eastenders and Sherlock. I just wish the BBC would take chances instead of going with safe, PC, dramas every single time.
>>14164025

>>14161563
Chris Evans of course its going to be shit. He ruined Wogan's BBC Radio 2 breakfast show, he got way too big for his own good with Ginger productions where he was allegedly sending his staff out to buy cocaine for him. Dumping Clackson for him hasn't really removed a powder keg from the show just put more of there eggs in one 18 hour bendering basket with a history of not showing up for work.
David Coulthard can drive but his F1 presenting shows he's no host.
Sabine can be entertaining but her last car show didn't last long.
As for Harris I'd rather cut my own testacies off and eat them raw than watch him.
>>14164154
He's a radio presenter that collects Ferraris and is a famous arse
>>14161563
That cocktucking cunt
>>14164154
He was big in the 90s, married Billie Pipper, was found a few weeks after that under a stripper at Spearmint Rhino after spending the previous 18 hours drinking and allegedly taking illegal drugs, before totally going off the deep end.

They compared a 138hp bmw 318ti to a Miata and a 285hp Camaro Z28.
The only thing I gained from this test was... you could buy a Camaro for entry level prices in those days.
>>14164243
>ok. what sort of shows?
Breakfast show on Radio 2, it's generic top 40 crap mixed with "golden oldies" for middle aged punters. It's not awful, but he's several orders of magnitude worse than the guy he replaced (Terry Wogan)
>who? is she hot?
In a generic bimbo kinda way, yeah.
>sounds like a cuck
He acts like a right fanny every time I've seen him on TV, he's got very little charisma.

In all fairness, Terry Wogan is an absolute legend, and anyone would be orders of magnitude worse.
Evans has, however, flat-out ruined the only regular radio station I can tolerate listening to.

Vietnam Special is great. It's Long Way Round, only much more interesting, fun and comfy.
God, Long Way Round/Down was boring.

What happened to Top Gear is like analogy of what happened to the UK.

What's awesome about Amazon is that you can download their videos and watch it without internet connection

I hope the one armed bloke from the TGUK vs German TG is still with them.

I liked a lot of the small challenges they did like May and Hammond working as taxi drivers who arrive on scooters and drive you home in your car.
As for episode long challenges the road works in 24 hours, 24hr endurance race, and MR Italian super car on a budget are all up there.

They both loved that car and it was not intentional, though.

That Charie guy was way more interesting than ScottishMcboring
Holy fuck how can a show about bikes be so boring?!?!?

You can always share it with someone else. Their family thing means you can share the prime shipping with a few accounts, but the books, music, and video stuff can only be accessed by the main account.
>>14167384
To be fair basically every country ever goes through that sort of thing.

It wasn't about bikes. It was about travelling.
>>14163961
The cambodia one was pretty comfy
I hope they'll still have a "Christmas special" in the Amazon show.
Watching them fuck around in cheap cars in third world countries was my favorite part of the show.
>>14161626
In a few years they're too old and rich.

They also hired convicted felon Jack Baruth, who has publicly shit on RCR.
The last "real" episode was pretty good for a mid-season one

caravanning or when they built their own motorhomes/caravan/whatever the brits call them
>>14163961
The homemade RV one for sure. Scripted as fuck, but its like they let the designers get high as fuck when they were making em
>bad news everyone?!
i-i think it might be okay. I mean it will never be the old top gear, that show is gone; But we still will probably have the stig and stars in reasonably priced cars. And what new possibilities, many budget, and such established hoonery could amazon wow us with
>holy shit deze nigs send mes packages
Hopefully the BBC top gear will be more like the normal show was (but different) and the new amazon show will be more like the specials, good car buddy fun in neat locations.
the question is can we have enough room in our burgers for two car shows?
>>14166017
>on bikes designed in a lab to do just that
they keep falling over every bump
spend an age trying to lift their heavy bikes up

>>14176036
i found it very instructive in terms of what not to do.
it's been over a decade since LWR aired, and yet you'll still see 'adventure' bikes with 400lbs of metal boxes falling over like dominos on a totally flat field.
>>14161563
>Went to Barnes and Nobles
>Saw that guy's face on the cover.
>Walked right by.
Yes they do have a magazine, or more so did.
>>14167384
>abuses his power
More like the producer just shoved them off.
The good scripted stuff is fine, but I wish they'd do more reviews of attainable cars, instead of just million dollar hyper cars.
>>14164077
Isn't that what 5th Gear already is?
By season 2 they'll panic, shitcan the talent, bring in Finnegan/Freiburger, Corolla/Leno, and let them do whatever they want.
It's real to me damn it.
>>14161626
They don't have the money(or aren't willing to spend it)

>We're going to try and get some of the cars running, then take them off some jumps out in the desert. Do some autocross and drag stuff with them if we have time.
wait, Sabine Schmitz will be on the show?
That's it, I'm not going to watch that. Listening to her speaking English always made me cringe so fucking hard.
