It may be on my DVR. I won't know until I have enough free time to check. Mrs TLW has it file things alphabetically, so I can't just glance at the top of the list to know if there is anything new I might be interested in.

Amazone prime, £79 for a years subscription, it aint THAT good that I want to pay for another subscription for TV services above what I already pays anyway.

Heck, I pay over $100 US a month to get 4-5 decent channels. I had already been considering something like Amazon Prime, I could stretch a months payment out to an entire year at $99 per year. Kinda wondering why I haven't done this yet?

Kinda wondering why I haven't done this yet? If you have a network enabled TV/Blu Ray/game console, you might be able to watch Amazon Instant Video on your TV (along with Netflix & YouTube). Otherwise, if your TV has an HDMI slot, you could use an Amazon Fire Stick to watch Amazon content. So, theoretically, you could cut ties with your cable/satellite company...

This I believe is a mistake. There was a open audition to find other presenters from UK, but an American?.. I dont think that will sit well with the old viewers.... He has a hard job to do anyway replacing the old crowd, but is he right for the job?..

He has a hard job to do anyway replacing the old crowd, but is he right for the job?.. considering the show was very much about the dynamic between clarkson, Hammond, and May, it will be an uphill battle with anyone. Exactly, if, for instance, le-blank has been bought in to play the buffoon part of May, it will be a pale copy, because May is highly intelligent in his own right, just acts the part really really well.... Not forgetting "Captain slow" was the fastest man in a standard production car until the man from Bugatti rather more out of shame on them retook the record.... (I believe the remarks at the time went sort of "We cant have someone named as 'captain slow' being the fastest man in our car, its now up to you as factory test driver to uphold the honour of Bugatti" or something like that...)(Some say May only warmed up the tyres for the real test run?...) If they start trying to replace copies of the characters of Clarkson May and Hammond, the show will bomb. It HAS to go in new directions. The only things they can keep will be the Fastest star in a reasonable priced car, the speed wall, and the obligatory road trips to compare similar type cars. Of course there will be "The stig", they cant sack him, some say he doesnt understand the concept of that. The rest MUST change and be all new. Perhaps they also need to change the number of hosts?.. will 4 be greater than 3?.. Can the new hosts set new records?.. not forgetting TG hold the record for the fastest run of any car INSIDE a building, amongst many others.

I think OUR TG took the indoor speed record during its short run.

Matt leblanc would work with good co-host, he is an actual gearhead, liked by the old crew and seems to have a sense of humour.
I just don't see him working with Evans, he's too big to be intimidated by Evans usual lack of ability to take as well as he gives...

Did I get the wrong impression of the one advertisement I saw for this change for Top Gear? I got the impression that LeBlanc was somehow to host airing old footage of the best Top Gear races. I recall hearing something about "best races" on the advertisement, thus the assumption said reference was to old footage. Could be wrong though, it's happened before

Just signed up for Amazon Prime, does anyone know the name of the show Clarkson is hosting?
