Any opinions on the new show? I like it so far but I am not sure it is as good as Top Gear was. Maybe it is just new and I don't like change lol. Anyway I'm glad the trio has put something together

Since I need to stream it, will do so when the admiral isnt up. She wasnt a fan of TG. However if it is half as good as TG, I will watch it religiously

Wish they brought Ben Collins (Stig) over as well.

I've watched the first 2 episodes...so far I like it. It's not TG, but overall, it's entertaining. Some bits are a bit contrived; however, I think once they figure out what works and what doesn't, it'll smooth out. As I understand it, they are not allowed to use so of the TG verbiage and formats, so most (if not all) will go away (star in a reasonable priced car, etc).

I recommend highly as Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond are great together akin to the 3 stooges?

I agree, the three of them together are perfect. I saw the first episode but not the second. Hope to watch it when I get a chance! I think you are right some of the old things cant be done due to copyright junk
