You were probably sitting anxiously in your seat as the all-new 21st Top Gear season was about to begin, with the airing of episode one last night. However, personally, I wasn’t impressed by all of it. I mean it’s pretty obvious that something has been lost over the years, and the show isn’t as funny as it used to be; well at least not constantly and in every episode that comes out.

In the season premiere, the presenters were asked to choose a hatchback from their youth (the 1980s) and then go through a series of challenges set up by the producers.

In the first part, it’s all good stuff and it’s TG doing what TG does best, but towards the end it really does get silly and rather distastefully explosive – I bet this is us (or just me) not getting British humor again…

Do share your thoughts on the new episode if you’ve seen it, in the comments section below.
