No Chris is kinda cringey on camera while Rowan is an icon and the greatest comedian of all time. Plus he is a massive car enthusiast, he would be perfect for Top Gear.

One thing though, Top Gear Is just a name. Top Gear died when the BBC put Jeremy out and they all left, you can't replicate it in anyway what so ever. If these two had a car show it would be awesome in it's own way, it does not need to be called Top Gear
@@superchickensoup excellent answer! I was just wondering though judging also not just their passion on cars but also their sense of humour. I think it would be a great match
It's amazing how well Atkinson controls his stammer. You can see, and hear, it at 2:56. I love the fact he's turned what many would perceive as impossible, into a highly successful career.
Why do people like Chris? He's cringey af. Rowan on the other hand is a legend of the universe, he probably doesn't exist anywhere else in the multiverse he is that legendary and brilliant as a comedian, actor and just a genius in general.
Car Magazine, back in the 80s/90s carried some of the best motoring journalists - LJK Setright, Richard Bremner, Phil Llewelyn, Gavin Green, George Bishop, and the fantastic Russell Bulgin………I never missed a copy. Remember Rowan Atkinson’s articles on personalising his Ferrari 456GT, and his love of Lancia Delta Integrale 16vs………
@@jblack5323 he explained how he specced his leather upholstery, interior trim and paint colour for his brand new 456. Apparently his choice of BRG with red leather was seen as ‘controversial’ by the Ferrari dealership.
When I was three years old for my dad remark's "stand by your beds" and furthermore my dad was a Royal Marine Commando fighting with determination, vigor and strength for New Borneo with RUclips with Jungle Green 1964. Unfortunately governor's I had a stroke for four year ago.
Feel proud of the fact that Mr. Atkinson and I owned the same brand cars at the same time; VW Scirocco, and Honda Prelude. Back in the day CAR set the standards for the auto scribes. Mr. Atkinson was one of them.
Those presenters really know how to ruin any trace of intelligence or fun in a conversation. Neither one showing any real interest in what the guys had to say. Embarrassing they get paid for that. Dire and it could have been so interesting! Jermaine Jenas really?? Stick to football please and the lady deserves to be carted off after her comments whilst Chris was talking about the trucks. Do one.
Silly comment, she doesnt understand all topics, people unsually dont get cars, and women very rarely seem interested in them, even when they do i cant really "believe" its true. Shes a nice presenter, doing her bit
I can see Rowan thinking to himself how much this interview must be bombing with the general public. How can the BBC allow such ungifted presenters loose at 7.00 p.m. every evening?Their lack of engagement with both the guests and the subject matter is cringeworthy. This show is long passed its sell by date!
Obviously a lot of basic people out there who lap this drivel up. Shows like this are TV versions of those crap old women's magazines your mam used to read, with their mix of life/death/prizes.
i said it when it happened and i still say it...the only guy who could replace the trio is rowan atkinson...personality,class and comedic ability mixed with a love and know about cars.
I grew up on CAR magazine, but in the days of LJK Setright ("Throttlebending") before Rowan's time. George Bishop ("Carte Blanche") was often hilarious, with stories of getting stuck in a ditch in mid Wales with the rain pouring down and organising a farmer to tow him out, not just driving cars quickly. It was LOL - not a known phrase then.
The latest topgear presenters have their knockers and put downers. It's still a great show and the other three have moved on to gt so people need to get behind these three . Chris sums it up by saying it's entertainment when we all need a lift. So don't hate, like. After all the show may not be there at all and then where would we petrol heads be.
OMGosh .. being British, living in the US, this is a brilliant interview. Both are fabulous car guys ! Great interview ladies and gents ! These discussions will unfortunately be a thing of the past, if some have their way. Hopefully not ..
Many of us car enthusiasts like listening to Atkinson and Harris, but no, this interview is rubbish. These two chattering cross-promoters don't really understand their guests, the topics, or even how to ask a question like an adult.
@@AsinineComment Yep, it's rubbish. The One Show has always been one of the worst programmes on British TV since it first aired. Uninterested boring people interviewing celebrities who would prefer not to be there.
He is apparently a very shy man and doesn't like interviews, I know someone who worked with him and knows him well, he is quite socially awkward because of this but a lovely man when you get to know him.
Rowan for TOP GEAR presenter!!! Rowan for TOP GEAR presenter!!! I will start watching again.... Get the two clowns off, and let Rowan and Chris do it...
'I used to do a sketch show called 'Not The Nine-o'clock News…'. - totally lost on the hosts. Not even a "right, yes, brilliant show." Nothing. So sad.
Great upload. You are right Chris' Top Gear is a shadow of Clarkson, May and Hammond, but they became an institution and their bonhomie became their trademark endearing us to them. A hard act to follow, even though the show existed before them, their format was dynamite.
Poor Chris Harris, you can tell from his comment quip 'I didn't really see the point' that there were some aspects of Top Gear he really couldn't stand. Or maybe all of it. And I don't blame him, the BBC were trying to continue the old TG format with Clarkson, Hammond and May, and it was just cringe with those other presenters. Whereas Chris is funny, intelligent and entertaining in his own right. Hope Harris returns to do Chris Harris on Cars. That was his best car show by far.
For some years ago I came across an English website where people could review their own cars. There were Corsas, 320i, Rovers 3500 and similar mundane stuff, and then there was this guy doing a review on his F1. The alias was "Rowan" but I haven't been able to verify that it was him or an imposter having a good time.
The fact these two have traded paint in old saloon cars around goodwood wasn’t mentioned. They go back a long way. And Dickie meaden. Henry catchpole and Harry metcalfe. They all know clarkson Hammond and may too. It’s all very incestuous.
2:48 - sorry Chris, but you're wrong. It hasn't been called Class 1 in a very long time. It's now called Category C for Rigid (used to be called Class 2), and C+E for an Artic, which used to be called Class 1. (C meaning HGV over 7.5T, and E meaning trailer. C1 is up to 7.5T)
I just got my Class C license and EVERYBODY in the industry still talks about Class 1 and Class 2. The jobs are still advertised as such. It may not be the 'proper' term today but it's still what's used.
I was about to say the same thing. It hasn't been class 1 and 2 for over 25 years. I did mine in the British Army. I'd recommend to anyone to actually look at and read their license.
Chris Harris, Rowan Atkinson, and Tiff Needell could have done up a Top Gear which did justice to the name. Pity they got a gang of rotters in instead (LeBlanc was decent in fairness).
Loved seeing Chris and Rowland. Hated that crap you put at the end. Terrible on the ex Prime Minister and a dig at Top Gear who don't need us, we need them. Be positive in life. Don't piss on people, there are enough people doing that. Time for positive people to say enough. Or try Mars.
Not a huge fan of the presenters. Far too eager to butt in when, let’s be honest, two of the most interesting and intelligent people in their fields are trying to answer a question or tell a story.
what we dont need are the others on top gear........ a terrible combo.... chris is fine, if he doesnt try to hard, the others are not right for that programme at all
This demonstrates that we need more Chris Harris and Rowan Atkinson together
Would be great to see them un interrupted. but for me the dream topper line up would be Chris Harris, David Coulthard and Guy Martin.
1:43 He destroyed Chris here
No Chris is kinda cringey on camera while Rowan is an icon and the greatest comedian of all time. Plus he is a massive car enthusiast, he would be perfect for Top Gear. Matt LeBlanc was also good of course, he's brilliant. But the other bellends who have been presenters since Jeremy, Richard and James left, just aren't good presenters they are cringe.
@@Maestro_Hulk what???

I would love it but it would never work
One thing though, Top Gear Is just a name. Top Gear died when the BBC put Jeremy out and they all left, you can't replicate it in anyway what so ever.
If these two had a car show it would be awesome in it's own way, it does not need to be called Top Gear
I think I agree
@@superchickensoup excellent answer!
I was just wondering though judging also not just their passion on cars but also their sense of humour. I think it would be a great match
@@superchickensoup Fair enough, but the 'Top Gear' format worked really well.
"8x4 solo rigid - that's a type of truck, by the way."
I love that Rowan is so happy to use proper terminology!
2:18 "8 wheel rigid"
And also that he clarified that it was a kind of truck, so non-car people would understand. Always nice when someone does that.
It's amazing how well Atkinson controls his stammer. You can see, and hear, it at 2:56. I love the fact he's turned what many would perceive as impossible, into a highly successful career.
And right afterwards he struggles on "buses" - he's been very open about words beginning with the letter B being the most difficult for him.
2:52 fascinating, I never knew...
He pulls it off as just sounding really posh. Its impressive.

We just don't get enough of Chris Harris! My man crush.

Wow a chat show with two of my most favorite Brits. To all in the UK why isn't Rowan Atkinson knighted already???
'cause he is The Joker
perhaps he his satisfied with his own name and doesn't need validation from authority figures to feel a sense of self worth?

I always thought that these two looked like. Some of the best in each of their respective professions. Great interview 👍🏾

Have to admit (not sure if I should) I went to university for the singular reason of getting a student loan which I used to buy cars with
The amount of people that say was when they should say were is astounding.
“Down to it’s monocoque. Which the bit underneath”
I cannot understand what the other top gear presenters are saying. Give Chris Harris on cars the full budget.
Rowan has the most expressive eyebrows in the solar system.
"With glances and with gratitude he revs his little load, then meets another trucking trucker trucking down the road" :-)

Watch Throttle House where Chris Harris made an appearance. Chris, Thomas and James were awesome together.
How old is Rowan? Besides the hair, he doesn't look aged that much
67
As of 2024, he's 69 years old.
