Possibly a bigger part for Chris Harris next time, as he was one of the successes of the series just finished. Cut Eddie Jordan though I hope. They need less presenters as there were too many this time.

Thought Matt Le Blanc was already back having signed a 2yr deal, was threatening not to do the 2nd yr if Chris Evans was back. Now Chris isn't, think Matt will be back. Hope Chris Harris & Rory Reid are back too. Wouldn't mind Sabine back.

Think it got better as it went on I think & overall not as bad as a lot of people think it was. Also what didn't help was it was up against Euro 2016.

Pre-production on next series already started with filming beginning in September

What do we read into your avata then?

Surprisingly i agree with you,after a shaky start it did get better,Chris Evans aside,all of the others should return in my view,also want to say last night's series finale was pretty good,i like the two modern Mustang's,but the economist in me says i would go for the eco boost one,also great to see a re-imagined version of a classic MGB,although 100k does seem a bit steep,in summary a good series but following Clarkson,Hammond and May was always going to be tough.

Was actually a good episode last night the New Honda NSX looks good the mustang film was great Greg Davis and Patrick Dempsey were great as the stars in the rally cross car the Chris Evans film made me turn over but was a good solid 8/10 from me

It'll never be the Top Gear of old, but I think it was a decent car show by the end.
They should just carry on with the four that worked for the show. Rory and the other Chris were good on the car reviews and I think Sabine has a bit of the fruitcake about her (in a good way) and should be given a bit more freedom to express that
Eddie didn't really work for me. I think he was meant to be the new Captain Slow, the butt of the jokes. The thing is May wasn't really the butt of all the jokes, that was an illusion. He was just as much the piss taker as the 'takee' (for want of a better word).

I think they missed a chance to manufacture some sort of rivalry between Sabine and The Stig, that could have been a bit of fun. Maybe they could have both of them setting lap times in the supercars and have a leader-board over the series, with a winner at the end.

Anyway, I think they've definitely got something to build on now. Let's hope they don't axe it before it has a proper chance.

No, the BBC said today that Matt LeBlanc was only contracted for one series, but was now close to signing a deal for a second series in which he would become the main frontman of the show (as Chris Evans is unlikely to be replaced).

Evans did what he had to do, and needn't do any more. The programme will continue

I'm glad Evans has left, he was the weakest part of the relaunch.

LeBlanc, Harris and Reid should be the new main hosts.

Sabine will hopefully play a bigger role next series too.
