Watching the new series of top gear this morning on catchup felt like an hour of my life lost. I don't watch loads of TV, top gear was always something to look forward to, if only to see Clarkson say something innately stupid and meaningless at the end of one of his pieces. Or the long haired one being a knob, or the little one, whom I have the greatest respect for doing what he does after the horrific accident he suffered a few years back, playing with yet another super car I will never own or drive.... I put up with the dumbing down, the lack of car content, the stupid interviews, the buffoonery etc.....
But now there's Evans, me no likey, not actually very amusing, and the grey stubble on a ginger, not a good look. Matt le blanc, who was funny in friends, not so much in joey, not much at all in a car (but better than Evans). And the entirely new format I was promised (in TG magazine last year written by Evans) was a crock of bollocks, it's the same as before but with less purpose or explanation about why they are doing anything. I felt as though I could write the lines in the show before they were spoken it was so predictable.. Not entertainment IMO.
Tell me I'm wrong...
