Well, it wasn't awful. The relationships between the three presenters is promising and given that I like all three of them then I suppose that was always likely to be the case.
The BBC are bigging it up as you would expect. They say that the critics give it "warm praise." But then they open up that story to the Gammons who infest the BBC News Website with the predicted result. I do hope that anyone who reads the comments on BBC News doesn't think that they are indicative of British attitudes.
So what did I think? I enjoyed the Ethiopia bit. I also enjoyed the Ferrari and McLaren bit but the fact Chris had to do it just shows that we have gone from three car experts (James, Jeremy & Richard) down to two and a half car experts (Chris, Rory & Matt) down to one car expert (Chris) - this will hamper what Top Gear is meant to be and also hamper the discussions within the banter.
Based on episode 1, I am willing to give it another go - I'll probably last the series but I don't see myself being bowled over.
