Top Gear Returns To Our Screens On 8 May, But Do You Care?
Speaking with chef James Martin on BBC’s Saturday Kitchen, Chris Evans this weekend revealed that the first episode of the next Top Gear series will start on “Sunday May the 5th.” Calendar enthusiasts will know the 5th is actually a Thursday in 2016, so presumably that means it’ll actually start on the 8th.
He also mentioned that filming has started, and that the crew will be filming in the US in January. He said nothing about his potential co-stars - a subject of rampant speculation - but Evans has recently hinted that he may not have co-presenters at all.
The big question is, do you actually care? From what we’ve seen, amongst CTzens, interest in this revamped Top Gear is incredibly low, mostly due to the absence of Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May. And as most of you should know by now, following Clarkson’s contract ending after a fracas with a Top Gear producer, the trio is off to Amazon Prime to front a show which we’re sure most of you will be watching.
So, do you care about Top Gear any more? Will you be watching in May? Let us know in the poll below!
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

I haven’t cared about top gear for a few years so no lol
It wont be as good as the old top gear trio, but at the same time, its still going to be another car show, who cares?!
I might watch the first one, but there’s a 95% chance that I won’t continue watching the series.
Get off the Ferrari you moron!!!
So what if it’s not the same. It’s another car show that will probably be one of the better ones out there. I’ll be watching it.
I’ll just watch the first episode out of curiosity. After that, we’ll see
knowing the BBC somewhere down the line they will change the name to every gear to be more inclusive
I will watch it. Don’t know how good it will be or even what kind of car show it will be but the point is that it’s a car show and I’m a car guy. These things tend to go well together.
Well, we’ll see how good both TV shows are gonna be.
So it Starts on my birthday, it could either be a great or crappy present haha
