Did anyone watch it tonight on SBS?
 I had high hopes but was severely disappointed by the craptastic rip-off they tried to pass-off.

I have to agree with you on this one TimF.
I didn't even get through the first episode before switching over. They even had the hide to try and replicate the 3 hosts. It was like watching an American episode of "THE OFFICE".

It set a low standard and failed to achieve it. %mins was all I could take. Too scripted, trying too hard to copy the original. Wont be going there again

Give it time guys. It could have been MUCH worse. I fully expected some wankers like Glenn Ridge or Grant Denyer to be hosting.
They're about as personable as cast iron, and a lot less funny. The 3 guys that are doing the job are genuine enthusiasts and it'll take 'em a while to find their feet. Thought we could have found a more Aussie name for the test driver though (say Davo or Bruce ) I'll give it a bit of time and see. But I really hope that we'll still get the Brit version too.
It's a week by week charade.

At least they could have tried to review some decent cars. Might have taken the spotlight off their mediocre performance.

Yeah I have the Paris to Peking series by that Warren Brown cartoonist, which I love. Which made for even more of a let down when watching Top Gear Australia. It had none of the wit or intellect that Top Gear UK has. And that shark segment was a disaster - some sharks ignoring a car while eating burley. But it didn't stop them trying to jiggle the camera to make it look like the sharks gave a f*ck about the car.

Ive seen all the top gears (including season 11) At least 5th gear is better than the aus top gear show. Its pretty dissapointing. Too much of a rip off. Me an my jack russell could do a better job hosting the show.

The reviews are very damming of it, everwhere I have read. |
