Flintoff, Harris and McGuinness boosted the Top Gear audience from 2.2 million to 3.8 million
Someone quietly telling him the DG is actually a Lord and not a Sir does little to dampen his spirits and the overall mood of the night is resolutely upbeat. But the reliance on the entertainment element of the show's format is precisely why it faltered in 2015. "Top Gear, when it went through that little problem phase, I don't think anyone ever wanted it to fail," McGuinness says.
It's still terrible and cringe. Those old farts on Amazon are even worse so in comparison, maybe Top Gear are better.
It ran for 23 years as a car show.. maybe if it went back that it might be good...
Why watch a rubbish tribute act BBC killed off Top Gear and brought in a selection of failures to pretend to be Top Gear....waste of time and money .
Dreadful
It’s about time the BBC admitted what the carbon footprint is of this macho shite show.
Has it? I prefer the Grand Tour.
Only Matt LeBlanc made it worth watching. It feels like 5th gear now. A bit... tacky.
“Overcame” 😂😂😂
Problem Phase. Aka the Chris Evans phase.
Did it?
thats not top geer an it not funny cheers
Did It , has it ? !!
It’s out of date doesn’t matter how many new cars you show how many presenters you have the show is done.
Does anyone still watch it?

Just. So. Bad.
Well I suppose it's a matter of opinion.. Chris Harris is the only real car guy in a car show.. The light relief provided by the other two, just wastes time and doesn't give Harris the opportunity to show how good he is at that stuff.. I prefer to watch him on YouTube instead
Wasn't aware it has over come it's problem phase, are the ratings really that good? 🤨
Wrong. No one watches that crap. The lads are on Prime and better than ever. !
Sorry, but . . . naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh!!!
I think most people over the age of 10 do what I do which is watch it on iplayer and skip the crap bits. Usually end up watching about 5 mins of it.
It hasn't, nobody watches it.
I didn’t even know that top gear was still on, I thought it was pulled after joey left lol I’m sorry Clarkson, May and Hammond are the original guys and the stig 🚙 🚘
Didn't know it was even on still 😂😂😂
Puerile
It’s not bad, quite funny in parts, better than when Chris Evans was on, but as for a “car show” I prefer 5th Gear these days which is on one of the marginal channels 😎
Did they? 😅🤣😂🇬🇧🤡🏴
Sorry it’s not the same time to try a completely new format
This new trio are very good! Enjoy watching it again now. And you can still watch the original trio on the grand tour... :)
Freddy and paddy are class
Simple. Got rid of Clarkson. Still don't watch it anymore though, the show has lost its original ethos its no longer about cars.....
It’s awful!
In impartial BBC article on BBC show I see. Might have a little more legitimacy if written by a third party
BBC Flogging a dead horse again
Oh..Didn't realise it was still on 🤔
Easy get 3 blokes to do what Clarkson and co did yet with 'safer' jokes.
Said the BBC
Still won't watch it as its a bastardised copy of the real thing.
The kieths are really out in force today
you mean, overcame rubbish...
People still watch top gear?
It’s shit
It should be renamed 2nd Gear
Top Gear hasn’t overcome its problem, there’s nothing original anymore, it’s just rehashing things JeremyClarkson RichardHammond & MrJamesMay did previously.
It's two extremely northern northerners as a comedy act, paired of with a southern journalist as the butt of the jokes, straight man. They've kept the same format as Jezzer et al, and it's never going to work as they are not Jezzer et al.
Deluded to think that the current content is popular.
Never watched since JJR left... The Grand Tour is where top gear went.
The BBC created the problem phase, they sacked JeremyClarkson 😡 The show and the line of new presenters have been papering over the cracks ever since 😔
You are asserting as fact that Top Gear has overcome 'its problem phase'. Not so, it is still rubbish without the original team. Typical BBC hype.
Pretty sure this has a bigger budget than the Victoria Derbyshire programme but less content!
Haven’t watched since the trio left... rubbish!
It stopped being a problem because people stopped watching.
Pity that in Australia its not on ABC TV or Netflix. I don't watch it because its on 9 with ad breaks.
Paddy McGuinness is a nobody without Peter Kay, even then he is 2nd rate.
They still have a problem with paddy mcguiness. You need someone articulate like Steven fry and is able to fix things like a scientist. Need to be well traveled. Cultured. Not some cunt who hosts a sex show 😂
A BBC Show, go watch it guys.
Wait they still make top gear?
Its still shite.... and as far as im concerned top gear is over
Top Gear right now is a problem of it’s own. They removed Jeremy, May and Hammond followed. Top Gear went down, so did their revenue and viewers. Don’t call it “stop Gear” if it isn’t it.
It hasn't. It's still shit. BringBackClarkson
it hasnt...its awful
Its Not Top Gear.....The Top Gear Guys are over at Amazon Prime....
Only way to get out of the ‘ problem phase ‘ is bring the three gentleman ( lol ok ok I know ) back.
