So it all looked great in the first half, evans limited to a few words, matt leads the show with a great film about the rolls, even the cricket fart was well done.

then mr shouty mc shouty face is screaming, in a enthusiast track car segment in an atom, clearly not driving fast other wise it would eat his face. lots of clever camera angle trickery to make it look like he's such a great driver but we never see him in the drifting shots as the editor cuts them bits out.

Chris martin who can't seem to relax or appears to be on crack drives an m3 no sorry an m2, erm nope an rs3... oh god now and m3 again... what is going on... oh wait it's m2 again... or is it ....and if anyone believes that happiness meter thing needs to be shot in the plums.
then 2 mismatched celebs who are clearly being paid too much to show up for this rubbish segment. didn't even watch it.

then the chubby over excited wondertwonk shows up perving on the fancy jags, that is 'supposedly the only one in existance and has to be at a show ' on time ' or trouble will cometh.... again the people behind this must think we're idiots..

then evans pointless fgty bitching about rolls...

at this point i give up.

The show has no flow or continuity anymore. Viewer just gets hammered with video pieces. Bam bam bam. It's like they made things for online consumption and are treating the show just as a tedious means of packaging. The old gang used to make everything feel special and organic, and interact with the audience and have little bits of material prepared in the studio to flesh everything out and keep things varied.

Second Chris was a bit hyper and angry this time around lol. He did seem a bit of a mental case.

I really loved that Rolls. I know that was just a commercial for rich people, but if I was richie rich, i'd probably order one of those up. Looks like a seriously comfortable cruising machine.

Agree with most of the above. And the Norman Dewis tribute was pretty nice. But Evans for *beep* sake lose the tight trousers tucked into your fairy boots.
