Thread: Top Gear Australia

I can't believe how critical some of you lot are.

The cultural cringe is alive and well !

Brand new show, new presenters, new production team who have to find a 'chemistry' and as for the criticism it's too much like UKTG UK, it's a franchise and made under license for Gods sake !

I thought episode two was a big improvement on episode one. Everyone was much more relaxed, much less shouting, etc.
I hope it continues to improve and will keep watching and am sure it will become more 'Australian' as they find their feet.

just my $0.02

I have to agree with Rick130

I tried not to compare this weeks show with the English one and guess what it worked.

The show I thought was pretty good. Vast improvment on last week.

OK they didn't have a winner for the Ford vs Holden but who really cares.....

If you like Holdens and they lost then you would be bitching about that, then again if you like Holdens........ there is no hope for you.

The bit on the Utes was pretty good, IMHO and was worth a few laughs (they should have overloaded them more to create more laughs)

I can see the boys have settled down and the show will continue to improve.

Acording to Rebel FM this moring the show was listed as 26 in the rating war. (didn't know there were that many channels) and she (radio commentor) doesn't like the use of aussie slang. (worked for Steve RIP)

I still have a soft spot for the Ford GT

Now looking forward to next week

just got back from the taping of episode 4 at bankstown.
much more relaxed and a more fun show to watch, even the missus enjoyed it.

Sorry but I can't get into Top Gear Australia. It seems that every scene they compare to Holden or Ford.
