I'd lost interest by the last series because most of the features were just so stupid and pointless - remember the one about the hearse conversions? I thought this was considerably more interesting and entertaining.

Near the beginning Chris Evans made a joke to the audience and no one laughed (except Chris Evans).

Who was that other guest with Gordon Ramsey? He seemed like a nice enough person but who was he? Is he famous in America and that's why they had him on (to help US sales)?

It went down quite well in the mog household. Mlb in the off road car got me quite hot under the collar Grin

Jesse Eisenberg- He's a relatively famous Hollywood actor. He and Gordon Ramsey would both be pretty well known on both sides of the pond.

Loved Jesse Eisenberg- He was in Social Network as Mark Zuckerberg, Zombieland, he voiced Blu in the movie Rio and now he's Lex Luthor

I'm liking the new Top Gear: Extra Gear

I thought it was pretty good, Chris Evans was a bit OTT but once he's chilled out a bit it will be better and I did think the trips etc were hilarious.
And was also a bit more car focused.

It was really bad - this was a good chance to really re-invent the show but is was just trying to ape the previous version.

Matt leblanc was wooden

It doesn't matter how shit it is, it will make millions for the bbc through foreign sales.

I'm liking the new Top Gear: Extra Gear

Last time I saw Top Gear Chris Goffey and Quentin Wilson were presenting. I saw Extra gear tonight and was impressed with all concerned. Chris, Sabine and Rory seemed to have genuine chemistry and were entertaining. Chris Harris in particular was very good. I haven't watched top gear proper and won't be as I find Chris Evans only slightly less annoying than Jeremy Clarkson.
