Aussie Top Gear Series 2

[rev210]

Improved slightly but, still not good to watch.

I'm not tuning in again until Top gear is on again.

ugh still average...

my wife who happily watches UK TG was like WTF is this crap... I said Aus TG and she watched 5 minutes then went and got her book to read

the best thing about UK TG is even non car people can watch it and enjoy it... even my mum watches it FFS... Aus TG is boring in comparison... I mean nobody wants to hear an interview with Mark Skaife... he has the personality of cardboard (great driver though)

[Doobs]

I loved the intense look of concentration from

Skaife in the proton.

I didn't mind the episode.

Glad to see Charlie 'the' Cock gone.

[Danski]

Hahah

Have to agree with ya there, Skaife isn't the most interesting person on TV by any means.

[msports180]

Was still average. Worth seeing skaife's face though, danm that was funny what an arrogant kent, so serious behind the wheel, didnt look like he was doing that well without his big $$$$ race team.

I will try one more episode, if still crap then wont watch no more.

And agree to an above statement, TG UK can be watched by non car people, both my parents and grandma enjoy it!!

i really really didnt like it still. can they just have one guy to promote the next segment other than all 3, it reminds me of an awards show where each one says a little bit then the next guy says something then the next guy, its stupid.

also that was the worst interview ever with skaife each question was so similar to the last it was pointless.

i think they should just talk about the cars and stop with the incredibly lame jokes and stop reading what they are saying its way to obvious, they really need to relax more and say whats on there mind, but that still wont change much they need 3 new hosts and have a competition where we choose the hosts. blood, sweat and gears is better than this so is fith gear.

everyone should get foxtel the discovery channel has way better car shows on, i love them.

Better improvement then the 1st season! Glad they got rid of the other host and brought James Morrison in

I enjoyed the first episode of the new season, its slowly becoming more of an aussie feel rather then the UK feel!

I know there is only 8 episodes this season, so i guess we will see how the other 7 go before i make a final judgement on it!

Episode 3 should be go, i was at the filming and enjoyed it

I should be near that bmw suv in the studio!

[Sinful]

I got asked to be in a story..So might see my face in a upcoming ep LOL

Going to be in audience aswell on Tuesday night..Will try and push my way to the front.. So Excited hope it will be good

[easyel]

loved it

[Kinks]

Meh.

that is all.

[R34mac]

that james morrison has less charisma than charlie cox! warren is crappy with interviews and did an equally bad job at commentating the star lap. that reversing challenge would have managed to be cool and funny if the UK guys did it, but the aussie guys said almost nothing of any value the whole time and wrecked it.

none of them have any personality!!

[ItsBoostin]

Its still really really bad lol i went as far as sending an email to SBS telling them to just give up and leave it alone. How many road tests do holden and ford need?? lol will be interesting to read there reply lol

[Doobs]

Thank god for Tivo, i just record it and fast forward whenever

i see Warren with his sketch pad.

And they should've blasted Walkinshaw for putting those stupid rims on that

nugget, not praise them for swapping the wheels to get a better lap.

Yeah last nites episode was a step backwards from last week. not impressed might give it one more week before i give it the flick - i mean there's not much else on free to air and im to cheap for fox:(

cheers rich

[levizzle]

Its better than the first season but still fails to be as good as the british series, as most australian versions of things do.

[BoostAddict]

dont like it.... the uk version with jeremy clarkson is much better imho

still fun to watch... coz its got cars on the show hehe

[GT-R32]

Utterly painful, a massive waste of money.

Rapport shouldn't be assumed with the characters. It needs to be earned. It's painful to watch. For example, last night when they asked the bloke with the massive nose as a 007 fan which car he would have, the Maserati or the Aston. They assume you think he is somebody. "There you are folks, you heard it here first" said afterwards. I stopped watching at that point.

I totally agree. I watched about half the episode aswell, I still only know one presenters name (Morisson) simply because of his musical exploits (I will admit that guy drew a mean picture though!). Compare that to when Top Gear UK first brought in James May, they eased him into it and intriouced him to the audience to create a rapport. I still remember one of his first segments (if not his first) where he did a review on his own Bentley and the audience was able to see what he was all about.

Top Gear Australia seems to not know exactly what it wants to do IMO.

For me watching I was thinking "WTF, they may as well ask any idiot in the street than this bloke, why should I care about his opinion" only to have them exclaim "There you go folks, you heard it here first" as if it was a revelation!
