TV Top Gear Season 24


kind of wonder about the Ford GT section with Matt LeBlanc, must be worth a watch IMO

I think it is. Beautiful car, Pacific coast Highway.. and Laguna Seca... not a bad start...

It's actually becoming quite refreshing to have a cast of presenters that aren't clumsy oafs, bafooning around all the time whilst using far too much hyperbole in their reviews, and cocking everything up. Instead we get Matt, who's pretty laid back, and dare I say it.. even a little bit cool. Harris, who has a lot of skill and knowledge, and Rory... who... umm.. is enthusiastic. I'm so glad they're not trying to imitate the characters of the old trio - sure, it worked for them, and it's given us a lot of laughs, but seeing how the new presenters are developing is making me think how tired the old formula had become.. and possibly why I thought TGT was mostly a bit crap... or Ambitious, but rubbish, as JC would have said.

That's a good description of Le Blanc and Harris. And I like Reid's enthusiasm, sometimes it can get annoying, i.e. with Sabine on the 'Ring. But it was genuine, and he has the enthusiasm of someone who feels lucky to do what he does, so I dig that. My favorite segment thus far this season of his is either the Kazakhstan bit or his review with the Twingo. I still haven't seen episode 5 though.

TGT...I haven't seen it after the second episode. I feel pretty ambivalent about watching more right now.
