Re: Top Ginger...
Brilliant. Beautifully (and very expensively) filmed. Some good P taking of themselves and BBC.
Re: Top Ginger...
A great show, top notch

Imteresting that the 918 beat the cars that had more horse power & were lighter
Re: Top Ginger...
New series of TG about to start with what looks to be the best three from the last one: Le Blanc, Reid and Chris Harris.
The latter has said on the BBC website about the last one..."I think we were in for a hard time whatever happened," "We went in to it knowing that. This is our dream job. We don't sit around dwelling on what's been said. I'm from the internet. If you think [the press] are harsh, try YouTube comments."

Re: Top Ginger...
What a waste of an hour - 60 mins of absolute cr*p !
Matt Le Blanc is just about bearable but the other two are unwatchable ...
I'm unlikely to give them another chance ...

Re: Top Ginger...
In contrast I really enjoyed it although I had had a few beers first which probably helped.

Re: Top Ginger...
Not much chemistry yet between them, might happen as time goes by.
Too much hyper activity and OMG atmosphere.
Just need to calm down a bit.
Matt's 'must look at the camera' seems odd. The film crew need to be forgotten and it will be more natural.
Anyway, better than Ginger screaming all the time.
I still felt a bit awkward watching it somehow.
7/10

Re: Top Ginger...
I thought it was pretty good, although I felt like they're trying to fit into the three old characters a bit.. I guess over time they will find their own feet and the chemistry will build. Its too easy to compare it to the "old TG", which is fine, but actually if you watch the first couple of series from when Clarkson/Hammond/May started out together they were pretty woody too!

Re: Top Ginger...
Enjoyed it. Same old format but not as cringeworthy as last series.
Still a bit wooden and scripted but hopefully in time and with less pressure it will become more natural.
Was better than most of last series of The Grand Tour anyway....

Re: Top Ginger...
Yep getting better. Harris needs to lighten up a bit, seems in awe of LeBlanc in the studio exchanges and certainly not as confident as when he's on his own. Agree with Nick about Reid, I understand about the BBC's diversity targets, but what is he actually bringing to the party?
cheers, Mike.

Way too much time spent on the sofa chatting with an actor i don't care about. If i wanted a chat show i'd watch Graham Norton.

Re: Top Ginger...
It didn't work for me, unfort, and I don't think it's just the presenters - I felt I had seen the features and heard the jokes before
