I think the viewing figures for today's will be excellent. Maybe next week's not so much.

What is Marc Le Blanc famous for? I presume I'm meant to have heard of him.

TrixieBernadette · 29/05/2016 20:53

He was an actor in the series Friends

MitzyLeFrouf · 29/05/2016 20:54

He was in a little known show called Friends. It only lasted a couple of series' Wink

Sparklingbrook · 29/05/2016 20:54

He was Joey in friends way back in the day rebecca

I wonder how Matt got involved.

Massive petrolhead. Goes to loads of the F1 races.
Is friendly with that crowd I believe.
He is certainly well known for liking cars and tbh I do think he is a good choice as it is a genuine passion.

There was a thread earlier about things that make you feel old. Someone here never having heard of Matt Le Blanc is mine.

I think on balance if they just did 'Matt Le Blanc Talks Cars' for an hour a week it may just be watchable.

TrixieBernadette · 29/05/2016 20:56

This segment has painted Chris in a better light. Because Matt is better he makes it good

InternalMonologue · 29/05/2016 20:56

Matt has grown on me. CE is still a knob though.

Matt is only there for the international market - not taking away from his obvious love of cars, there would have been other more obvious choices if they weren't worried about having to sell it abroad.

UK v USA might be a running theme and could be entertaining

Okay, John Anderson is a genius touch Grin

The80sweregreat · 29/05/2016 20:57

When i stated last year that CE would be a bad choice for presenter , i was flamed! No, they said, he will be great etc etc. i knew he would shout, he shouts on any programme he has ever done. Still, i like Matt and considering the MN hate for Jezza over the years iwould have thought he would be more liked! Dh hasnt seen it yet, i just know he will hate it!

AnneEyhtMeyer · 29/05/2016 20:57

Matt is the only reason I'm still watching. CE is a fuckwit.

I think Matt is doing very well for an American in a british classic, he has the tone

the intro when Evans practically ran into le Blanc's arms was uttery utterly cringeworthy....we are undecided if it would have been made better or worse by relocating it to a sunset beach and doing it in slo-mo

Gordon Ramsey is also a complete SeeYouNextTuesday

More Sabine required, and a good deal less of Evans the Shouter.

I think it was actually okay. Ds's seem to like it.

abbsismyhero · 29/05/2016 20:58

they had a chance a real opportunity to do something different they could have made it work it could have been salvaged all they had to do was put there own stamp on it instead they took five people to replace three and copied the format even down to the furniture (didn't jc make that? in a challenge)

pointless
