Top Gear was back for a new series last night – but all many viewers could talk about was the improvement without Chris Evans.
The BBC Two motoring show hit the screens on Sunday night with former Friends star Matt LeBlanc in the driving seat and Chris Harris and Rory Reid joining him as co-hosts.
The last series was savaged on social media, with much of the criticism levelled at Evans’s hosting style, and many wondered whether Top Gear was finished.
The Radio 2 host was nicknamed ‘Mr Shouty’ and a ‘poor man’s Clarkson’ as fans criticised his ‘no banter’ presenting style – he spent yesterday in his local park drinking from a flask.
But Sunday’s instalment, which featured a trip to Kazakhstan and an interview with Scottish actor James McAvoy, fared much better, with viewers saying on social media that it was a ‘massive improvement’ and it had made ‘a promising start’.
