New page opened for Top Gear Series 23 onwards (starting May 2016). No imdb number entered yet until we decide how to handle it (as imdb haven't split it from previous series). I've opened the page, but do not intend to contribute entries or stake a claim to the new series.

So let the fun begin.

Indeed it is better to separate it. Maybe later IMDb will also make a separate page, like what they did for the 1978-2001 series (if I remember well, it was originally listed on IMDb together with the 2002+ version).

I agree with having a separate page for the new era, cos the other one was HUGE. But I dont think there will be a separate IMDb page. For all accounts and purposes in terems of IMDb standards. Its still technically the same show. The season and episode structure has continued on from where it finished off. 22 Seasons of Clarson, and the Evans era starts from 23.

... and hopefully finishes with 23 as just a passing blip in TG's history. And that they get someone who isn't so full of himself and is actually funny to replace him for 24 onwards.

They'll replace him with Naga Munchetty, she's rubbish as well. Or maybe that Welsh woman who shouts all the time, typical BBC, and it's about time they got rid of Pointless, they always flog things to death then try to revive them.

First episode is up.
As an honest review, Matt isnt too bad, i can get behind him. The reviews and segments show promise. Evans on the other is just plain annoying. Hes trying way too hard to be funny and loud, and its just irritating. Want to see more of Sabine, she drove the vette.

dsl SX

2016-05-30 16:18

Just in case anyone from TG is checking to see what we think, some thoughts:
- I can't stand Chris Evans - he's far too much of an onscreen ego who has to hog the attention all the time, and he's nothing like as funny as he thinks he is. But, to try and be helpful, Jeremy could also be incredibly irritating, but compensated for it by being fairly laid back and laconic, so carried it off. Get Chris to slow down and let the others come through as equals, not just sidekicks. Also get him to cut down on the constant stream of "Wows" and schoolboy noises of excitement. And stop fixing it so that he has to win every contest.
- think about what the features are trying to achieve. The Rialtos to Blackpool thing was OK but didn't really go anywhere (apart from Blackpool). Towing dead Rialtos up a hill with the Jeep and Landie distracted from what could have been an interesting contest between 2 classic 4wds without being diluted. The Corvette/Viper comparison would have stood up on its own without all the laser gun stupidity, which again diluted interest and direction. The Atom feature was just silly - again what did it achieve??.
- putting Gordon Ramsey and that other bloke together didn't work, especially when they had to read out who the other one was. I still don't know who the other bloke was.
- ration yourselves on how much you need to have the audience whooping and hollering all the time. It seemed they had to do it every time Chris spoke. Why?? It began to feel like a 1970s Saturday morning kids show, or even like Crackerjack when 8 year olds had to shout Crackerjack every time the word was mentioned.
- not sure yet about Matt, but give him the space to develop his onscreen personna as himself, not just a sidekick.
- finally, remember some at least of your audience are petrolheads. We still want to know about the cars as cars, with their good points and bad ones. Review them with some decent comments, instead of just quoting the press sheets about how zoomy they are or swooning about high tech gizmos.

I think you are hoping for too much. The program commissioning twerps at the BBC are obsessed with "personality" and consider anything that approaches technical as blokey (for which James May is the go to talking head), or too boring for the audience at which this programme (TG) is now aimed. As an example of their attitude, I went through all the BBC's arcane complaints routine to complain about a one hour sailing presentation in the 2012 Olympics during which there was 15 minutes of actual sailing and 45 minutes of talking head personality stuff. When my complaint received just a BBC standard response I took it further, the result being a letter from the producer's secretary saying nothing more than "your complaint isn't accepted, this is how we do it and we know best." They further compounded their arrogance by saying that if I wrote again it would be ignored.

BBC criteria for commissioning are now: -

How cheaply can we do it?
How many of our staff payroll "celebrities" can we use?
How many times can we repeat it?
How many of the unwashed fools out there (how they think of the people who pay the licence fee) will watch it?

Rant over.

It felt pretty lifeless. Matt LeBlanc was very wooden and seemed out of place (I don't mean to be xenophobic because he's American). There was no chemistry between him and Chris Evans. Evans I don't really have anything against but he does have an annoying voice.

To be fair, Clarkson, Hammond and May's purile "antics" were getting pretty stale and staged. But I don't think I've ever been more bored by an episode of Top Gear. Even the way it was edited at times didn't seem right somehow, like during the challenges they were zipping through everything too quickly and losing all the fun. I don't think adding an offroad section to the Star in a Reasonably Priced Car lap worked either.

Yes, they're fighting.
"Matt LeBlanc threatens to leave Top Gear unless ‘jealous’ Chris Evans replaced"
"Loudmouth host Chris Evans has Top Gear screen time cut by half as BBC show’s ratings continue to tumble."
A show source said: “The big question now is who goes and who stays.
The team does not gel at all, and the atmosphere between the presenters is decidedly frosty. It’s very much a picture of him – Chris – and them."

The best way of having a leadership (of a company, a club, an internet-forum or whatever) is the stalinistic interpretation of democracy. As the legendary words of this hardcore-stalinist

Ripples from The Great British Bake Off defection from BBC to Channel 4 for £25m. Saint Mary Berry will not be a judge on The Great British Bake Off when it moves, saying she's loyal to the BBC for nurturing her and the show. But Paul Hollywood's jumping ship to follow the big money, despite apparently being offered a role on Top Gear if he stayed with the BBC.

So TG had a narrow escape from another irritatingly smarmy self-inflating presenter. But it's sad that a TG role has become a bargaining chip for contract negotiations with Big Names To Attract Headline Coverage instead of trying to find folk who would genuinely enhance the show.

chicomarx BE

2016-09-22 18:59

It will be impossible for the BBC to construct a team artificially, like The Monkees, and have the same interactions. It has to grow organically.

When Clarkson created the new Top Gear he chose the other two presenters himself, Hammond, he made a mistake with Jason Dawe, then May. So he was the undisputed leader. Chris Evans can't just take over that role, without other presenters struggling for power.

dsl SX

2017-03-29 23:05

We're all being very quiet about the new series - are imcdbists watching it? Or has it slipped below the radar now? For what it's worth, I think it's more subdued now - a bit clunky at first as they got used to each other but getting better. More attention on getting the basics right without big screen-egos and too much brainless stupidity - walking properly before they start trying to run. So worth watching again.

If anyone's still interested enough to care, we could declare the page open for anyone to come in and finish series 24 (so far only eps 1 and 2 done of 7). Series 25 seems to be on its way in 2-3 months, so it would be useful to clear the decks before that arrives.

New series really bland. No chemistry at all between the presenters, the banter is so wooden you could make furniture out of it, nothing very interesting in the features, Star-In-The-Blahblah-Car is even more tedious than before (not even wooden, more like chipboard). One unexpected surprise - Rory Reid who's all stupid schoolboy giggly and Gosh-Wow-Amazing on the main show is much better on his own for the "Top Gear: Extra Gear" spin-off show broadcast an hour later - he can actually be a proper presenter away from the irritating fake hysteria and it's probably better than the main show as a result.

Adding episode 28.00 - "The Nepal Special" broadcast Dec 2019, ahead of a normal run of episodes for S28 during early 2020. Our intrepid heroes - maybe not as intrepid as their predecessors, but they're knitting together into a watchable trio - drive 3 "city cars" each bought for £6000 or less from Katmandu to the remote town of Lo Manthang, close to the Tibetan border and in the province of Mustang (a reference which is appropriate for one of their vehicles). Worth watching, with some stunning scenery and a good adventure.

As we seem to have a complete blank on Nepalese stuff (no Origin/Built In/Made For tags anywhere) and because I know diddley-squat about what may or may not be significant in the local mix, I've captured a lot of 1[*] stuff.

@jfs - there's a Stirling Moss tribute in middle of ep 29.04 broadcast last night. Chris Harris is a bit shouty/look-at-me as he always is, but it's sincere enough.

Very sad to hear the news. A remarkable person and a great driver. Her TG appearances were outstanding in both entertainment and driving expertise.

New series started a couple of days ago (Series 30, 4 eps). First ep had nice nostalgia feature on Cortina Mk4, Fiesta Mk1 and BMW 323i larking around in Lake District. And they didn't crash them.

Filming Series 34 suspended last November after Flintoff crashed - apparently he flipped a Morgan Super 3 tricycle and got serious face injuries and broken ribs. Rumours that he's left the show, and BBC reviewing its safety policies. No S34 filming since and BBC allegedly considering a radical change in TG format/direction or even closing it down completely.

Looks like they're closing it down completely from an official announcement today, although the phrases used are "will not return for the foreseeable future" and "decided to rest the UK show".

About time. It's been an unmitigated load of rancid dingo's kidneys for years. The only problem is that the BBC will no doubt replace it with Alan Carr doing yet another brainless game show.

Yeah, after beating its corpse for the past 7-8 years.

Given it´s declining ratings since 2016, I´m not at all shocked that they finally pulled the plug. At least this show can finally die in peace
