New Top Gear

[jarramackem]

Just heard Paddy McGuinness and Freddy Flintof will be the new presenters. Can’t be any worse than that American bloke shirley
Thoughts?

Just need Matt Baker to complete the Partridge Trinity

 

[jackynutmeg]

Not sure about Paddy

 

[Mickeys Chicken Leg]

Can't stand either of them. Will not watch.

Never heard of Shirley Thoughts.

Paddy McGuinness is about as funny as being kicked in the bollocks repeatedly. This will be absolutely shite.

Matt Le Blanc was ok imo once you got used to him and that he wasnt “joey”. He definitely loved cars. I didn’t like Rory Reid at all, uninteresting and not very polished. I can imagine that the bbc were physically ill at the thought of three white blokes presenting it again, however. FF and PMc looks like they want to give it a banter/cameraderie injection which has been missing since the old group left.

Should have been Vic and Bob just for the comedy value.

Theres still time for them to employ a Pakistani trans lesbian yet.

If it is PM and FF there’s no way Rory will get the chop then.

Is he the current token?

 

[Medulla]

Bloody blokes.

They'll be alright at the comedy stuff, but I've never really thought either of them was a car enthusiast, which was what made the Hammond, May and Clarkson team so good. They knew their stuff.

I wish the BBC would just go and get Guy Martin.

Rory's on Extra Gear only, if the article is correct. Chris Harris will stay.

For me, Flintoff and McGuinness are too similar in terms of their personalities.

I'd agree but I suspect that Channel 4 have him pinned down on a lucrative contract.

In that they don’t have one?

I was thinking more jolly but not that bright Lancastrians. Flintoff's very good on the BBC podcast "Flintoff, Savage and the ping pong guy".

Guy Martin is good at what he does but would be shit at presenting

He wouldn't be the main presenter, he'd do the Hammond or May role (because they are roles after all).
