Why Can't We Enjoy The Grand Tour AND Top Gear?

Do you watch The Grand Tour? If you're on this website and this specific article, then I expect you do. What I'm not so sure about is if you watch Top Gear.

When the trio left Top Gear I was sure it was dead. No one could replicate their chemistry. No one SHOULD replicate their chemistry. It needed to die so we could move on. That's what I thought, anyway.

That's until I watched the new Top Gear. Not Chris Evans' Top Gear, the Top Gear with Matt, Rory and Chris at the helm. It suddenly struck me that, of course, the Top Gear we knew wasn't the original. It started in 1977. Only did it become what we knew in 2002 when it was rebooted, but even then it stood on shaky ground.

The show was awkward, not overly funny, and it seemed like they were trying too hard. Soon, though, they relaxed into their roles and it became the best motoring show on the planet. But it took a while.

So maybe we should give these new guys the same leeway? Because I can honestly see them producing an interesting, albeit different, car show. And who doesn't love the fact that we now have TWO car shows to watch?

Some even prefer the new Top Gear...

Top Gear has a long way to go, but like every new show on TV, the presenters need to find their places and relax into them. Im sure it will happen, and then we'l have two brilliant car shows to watch. Plus all the others that I haven't mentioned! We are so spoilt.
