This evenings episode was brilliant, so there

I found it a bit hard to judge.  It had that TFI Friday element of "look at me and my showbiz pals" which I personally find grating, but apart from that it seemed less awkward than the first show.

I'd still like to see more changes to the format but I thought tonights episode was really good.

I'd love to see Richard and Judy do the next Andertons video.

"Hello I'm Richard"
"And I'm the Judy"

Maybe chapman guitars could do an El Judy.

Yes, it is getting better.

The location was the star this week. That last stretch of road!

It's definately becoming a car show, not entertainment.  They'll never keep an audience getting excited about engine sizes.

It was absolute shit from start to finish.

I'll discover this when I watch it on Iplayer later.

Really rather good tonight, I thought. Evans has been toned down a bit, they made a bit more of Matt LeBlanc, got some decent guests in and the segments were pretty strong, especially the SA stuff.

Too many people on the prgramme tonight.

And why does Eddie Jordan feel the need to shake hands with everyone every five minutes?

Alzheimers, most probably.

True.  The "star in a rally-cross car" bit felt like a really sub-par episode of the Graham Norton Show.

Much better tonight.  I didn't even mind Eddie Jorden as he was mostly pretty quite.  Usually find him a total twat.  Matt La B keeps getting better as well.

Best first car continues to be yawn-worthy.....that needs to go. Better than last week largely on account if the SA feature.

I wish they had gone with Alan Partridge

Really enjoyed it tonight, but skipped all the interview bit, no idea who the guy was... Matt by far the better presenter. I also had a quick look at extra gear. Well, that IS a shit programme.

the 2nd one was good, i could actually watch it without cringing at the presenters, i MUCH prefer this to the old bellend triplets churning out their shit
