New Top Gear's Bad Luck Continues As Chris Evans And Matt LeBlanc Have Fallen Out
We really want to give the BBC’s new Top Gear a chance, but it seems to be completely unable to avoid problems. There’s been the fact that Chris Evans is reportedly a nightmare on set, writers have quit, and members of the team were unable to get into Kazakhstan for a shoot - and that’s before we even talk about the Cenotaph stunt.
It’s the latter issue that’s at the centre of the latest problem for the BBC show, as The Sun is reporting that Chris Evans and Matt LeBlanc have fallen out over the bad PR the show received following the incident. LeBlanc had jumped onboard Ken Block’s Hoonicorn for a drifty ride around London, but the pair got close to a war memorial, upsetting many Brits.
According to The Sun’s story, Evans has not forgiven LeBlanc for causing outrage, with a source claiming “their relationship’s deteriorated. Chris thinks Matt severely damaged the brand…Behind the scenes it’s very frosty between them.”
We get that the stress and pressure associated with following up one of the biggest television shows in the world must be immense, but come on, guys, pull your acts together. We want another awesome car show on the telly, so we’d rather you didn’t throw it all away over petty squabbles!

I think they need Dr. Geobaz.
I’m not sure that will improve things or make things worse to the point where one goes berserk and destroys all Priuses. (edit, accidentally posted a pic of headphones, dunno how to remove, CT pls fix.)
Yea I might start group therapy meetings with the Top Gear crew because my time on Car Throttle will be over after Adnan sees the new petrolhead group therapy video. xD
Maybe that isn’t working. Geobaz is great at making dank memes and draw cars but I don’t really think he could make TG better. Anyway, great idea.
top gear is cursed, it should just finish all together…
Top Gear right now
“We really want to give the BBC’s new Top Gear a chance”
LOL
You evil sod
I don’t buy any of this “rough start” good marketing strategy though
But on JC TG they had a rough start. Suppose they didn’t make a fuss about it in the media and you could say Evans is doing it on purpose
Very good strategy indeed.
Their squabble sounds exactly how me and my ex-friend get along now..I resent his guts each day but back then it was never like that.
I have experiences with bad friends, in the same group and boy let me tell you, up to this day we are forced to bear each other every day and it does not go well, if the same atmosphere prevails in the set they won’t last long.
“Chris thinks Matt severely damaged the brand” facepalms your doing a good enough job if it yourself you twit
If anything, Chris Evans seems to appear to be the root of the problems going on. Not saying he’s a bad person, but something should be done about that.
chirp chirp
I knew I couldn’t be the only one thinking that… Let’s get rid of him!
EDIT: It sounds like I want to murder him. I don’t. I mean, get rid of him on Top Gear…
[DELETED]
True, I don’t even like Chris Evans. His voice is weird, his face is weird and he’s acting like a lil b*tch, he most definitely needs to take a chill pill, I think he was a bad choice, everybody else is cool. I especially love the fact that Matt LeBlanc is going to be a presenter in this show. That’s the main reason I want to see the new top gear… And hey, on the top of that we also get new motoring show on amazon prime.
If he left, the show would be so much better.
This new top gear is gonna be like when they try to remake a really good movie and just destroy the rep (i.e. Italian job)
Chris thinks MATT damaged the brand?! Reality check please.
