Top Gear

With Chris Evans having taken full production control of the new show it's hardly a surprise that the show will be different to the old format. I'm just about old enough to recall the heady days of success on the original TFI show; but anyone who reads his column in the Mail on Sunday's supplement will notice one thing... The column is about him and not the car he's reviewing... Last week he probably used 500 of a 600 word piece on him, and 100 of that to talk about the car itself.... This will happen on the new TG show too for sure...?

hahaha

Brilliant, very funny

Evans and LeBlanc attempt to rubbish rumours of rift between them:

Digitalspy also think that those behind the bad press have "ulterior motives" (see link in piece above).

Meanwhile the TG team were in Ireland on Friday and Saturday for filming:
