I'm reading Richard Porters book about TG, "and on that bombshell". He was the script editor for 13 years, 22 series and 175 TG shows.
What comes out of the book is that the Clarkson, May and Hammond version of TG was a team exercise. It was very different from the original TG. I have no doubt that the Evans et.al. TG will be different, again.
Will it be better? No idea, but as Porter makes clear the last iteration of TG took about 6 shows to get into its groove.
Me...I view the change rather like a change of Dr Who. Some are good, some are brilliant and some I don't like. But Dr Who goes on as I suspect TG will.
As to the "Three Stooges" as long as Andy Wilman and Richard Porter are behind it we should see something familiar.
Will it stand up against TG? We will have to wait and see.
