You're too bloody loud, Evans

What the bloody hell is wrong with this Chris "Squealing" Evans. That bloke is literally screaming on top of shouting nowadays - and for an hour non-stop! There's just something about his screeching pitch that annoys the hell out of my family (and my cat). Perhaps it's my TV, but I doubt I'm the only one experiencing that high-frequency headaches (switched to another channel and I'm instantly cured).

Three buggering episodes so far, and Evans still haven't learned a lesson about his ultrasonic voice. Perhaps BBC should hire him as a mosquito repellent, and change the name to "Top Squeak".

So true, Matt seems so subdued and kinda natural, but Evans was just so loud and high pitched the whole time. Overall I wasn't THAT disturbed by the first episode as many people were, but he really started to grate after a short while.

You know the expression "has a face for radio"? He's "got a voice for print."

Chris has never been bad looking. Have you seen the lumpen state of many actors, and that's just their faces?

Isn't that hugely ironic given his radio career? I can't stand his voice, or his personality, luckily I don't live in the UK so there's no risk of me accidentally tuning in Radio 2. Also luckily, he's now gone from one of my favorite shows. Hopefully they can find the right presenter(s) to put against Matt Leblanc, who I did like.

I said the first part to my GF the other night when she was watching this. Love the second part too! So true. The show is unwatchable with him.

On the human audio spectrum with a normal range of 20Hz-20kHz, most awesome car engines have a pleasing throaty frequency around 20-100Hz, which is coincidentally the range of Jeremy Clarkson's croaky timbre, even when he gets excited and says things like "in the world". By comparison, Chris Evans' shouty-squeaky hyperactive voice is more like an irritating 500+Hz which upsets humans and even dog's ears, or perhaps it's simply the amplitude of the wave. Beeb obviously haven't done any such scientific research. For your consideration ;-)

I don't know if anyone has explained to him how microphones work ;oD

Either tell him to keep it down, or take the microphone off him so his shouty voice might seem a touch more normal.....doubtful mind you!

Maybe they should replace him with someone more agreeable and charismatic.
I'm thinking Stephen Hawking.

I agree with you completely. I tried watching the first episode and Chris' voice just annoyed me from the start. It's like he is shouting all the time. And there is something about the tone of his voice that really annoys me.

I don't mind Matt Leblanc but I think the show should replace Evans with someone to compliment Leblanc.
