Good greif, talk about nit piking.

Here's the BBC iPlayer link for episode 3.

Like the first 2 episodes it's made it to #1 in the iPlayer chart.

It continues to be alright. The two new guys were OK. Chris being sick wasn't the big deal that the tabloids claimed it was, and the Ken Block in London stuff seemed amiable enough. Oh, and Sabine looks nicer with her hair down.

I did notice the Lap Times for cars had all been rewritten into the same neat hand, so that Huayra and Koeniggsegg are now spelt "correctly".

Was that really Anthony Joshua's mother in the picture? Strewth

I would.

Chris Evans is definitely the weakest link seeing all the other presenters last night showed that they can carry it without him. I'm not anti-Evans just he doesn't fit the programme.

Decent third episode of the series last night and the two new presenters seemed to get the balance between enthusiasm and over enthusiasm just right,also good to see Sabine in the studio,in summary good show which featured some great cars and some great driving from Sabine and Ken Block.

Wouldn't be so certain, take him out and it would be a very pedestrian show, the others are trying to quip, but it's very forced, except Sabine.

One of those miss them whent hey are not there type of thing.

^ I have to disagree with that.
So far I have enjoyed the show and it's been better than I anticipated, but I still think they could find someone better suited to the job than Evans. I find him desperately over-trying, cheesy, and just not funny to be frank.
LeBlanc seems to be settling in better, he needs someone to bounce his humour off - and it isn't Evans.
It's still very watchable of course, but could be slightly better IMO.
It's early days yet, so lets see what happens.

I think if they want to break from the Clarkson era cut the studio bits altogether and star in a....
Yes have challenges, yes have supercars but maybe also some more stuff on what we drive and motoring in general.

The viewing figures are down again for episode3. Another 400,000 gone

However the fans say that Sunday's show was the best so far, mostly because Chris Evans was on it less
