Matt Le Blanc to Top Gear

I agree. It is not a cemetery, it is a public street along which many people drive, walk and otherwise use as a normal space. Many political demonstrations are held there too.

Didn't a son of a rock start get arrested for doing something there?

Attempting to shock to make the program watchable - it all seems fake and childish tbh

Just like the previous Top Gear then?

Yep. Good call. As if Clarkson and his cronies would ever do anything for the sake of viewing figures. Let's be honest its a London thoroughfare and it was nowhere near the cenotaph which while a symbolic statue isn't holy or sacrosanct. Blown out of all proportion

Childish maybe they were but not fake or put on to entice people to watch - at least they were genuine IMO

They were as fake as the £27 note I've got in my wallet

Also, the word "gullible" doesn't appear in the dictionary.

In what way? What isn't genuine about the new line up other than you don't like it or the concept TG will continue

I think MLB will appeal to the current 30 somethings and older who grew up watching friends, they are coming to the age when they can afford nicer cars and it seems a good move by the BBC to bring him in.

I will give it a watch, mostly for MLB tbh as I think he will make or break the show.

I like him and I wish him luck, who doesn't like a good underdog story right?

Isnt this the rub though? Do the beeb want Matt Le Blanc or Joey Tribbiani?

That's the way it went under Clarkson, May and Hammond. Contrived and childish, jumped the shark a long time ago and needed a revamp (just my opinion as I know it was still extremely popular but Hammond is a nob).

Yup, all those challenges/races where they just happened to arrive at the finishing place at exactly the same time. Very genuine...

Do you honestly mean that??

I know lets all build a boat powered by moped engine and sail out to a remote island bar as that's all about cars and not childish and fake
