Rory, in my opinion, was 1 of the only big positives about "new" Top Gear. How the BBC let him go in order for them to focus on celebrity amateur "car enthusiasts" is beyond me. I also think that the difference between "old" Top Gear and "new" Top Gear is the fact that Clarkson and co had full creative control. They were the ones who set up their 'stunts' and expected themselves to do it but once the BBC booted Clarkson and retained that control for themselves it suddenly became the BBC or whoever getting involved and TELLING the presenters what they expected of them. That feels very different. It's much easier for Hammond, for example, to be level-headed over his crashes when he is putting himself into those situations than it would have been if he had been told what to do and felt forced into those situations by some executive.
Everyone thought what Clarkson and Co did was easy... and they found it wasn't..... and they though they were easily replaced... and they weren't 😂😂😂😂😂😂
You really need to stop showing people on camera who are not talking. It’s cringy. This video you have a woman interviewing Rory Reid and yet there’s another person not involved in the interview keeps being shown onscreen?
Rory Reid is one of the very best car reviewers, and knows his cars and driving as well as any and much better than most. And yet TG decided to dispense with his services and brought in a cricketer and someone else (name eludes me, but a talentless loudmouth).
He's Mr. Top Gear, even though he was sacked from it, he (and Andy Wilman) still basically created the format. The previous format was William Woollard and Tiff Needell walking around that year's Ford Fiesta, talking about engine capacities and miles per gallon, so it definitely needed a refresh. Before that, it was Angela Rippon or Noel Edmonds pootling along on the motorway.

Sadly many of the producers though everyone could do what Tiff had done on the old Top Gear show. Tiff was a racing driver to a high level, who become a TV frontman. Not many people can slide a car and chat to the camera. Hence when Clarkson relaunched Top Gear, they couldn't find anyone suitable, so they invented, The Stig.
When it becomes more about buffoonery that solid motor journalism, then this is what you get. Thank goodness Fifth Gear returns this Thursday, with at least some journalistic car reviewing content.
Of the presenters post Clarkson, the best combination should have been Harris, Flintoff and Leblanc. Rory got shafted and he deserved better...he was much better than evans and mcguinness put together as a host and reporter
I always had issues with Top Gear bad mouthing grey imports from Japan. Britain was known as Treasure Island for a reason, and that's because the motor trade robbed the mug punters blind. Jack, the Japan Alps Brit
Why is Clarksons mug on the video thumbnail? You didn’t interview Clarkson and Flintoff crashed … pathetic … I would have hoped for far better from The Times
Sorry I would like to disagree to some extent. When I go through a selection process and based on what you are told/demonstrated by the candidate, I select a person, then I would expect the candidate to be prepared for the job. You can't expect to get the job and then decide you are not suitable for the job and it's up to the employee to know your deficiencies. The person recruiting is also human, unless you tell them how are they supposed to know.
I didn't think a great deal of Mr Reid before this and he's gone down in my estimation due to this interview. He was an experienced motoring journo before TG and I'd be very surprised if he didn't talk up his own abilities in the job interview. Many car entheusiasts do track days, race or off road for fun. This too is dangerous. If you dont like it dont do it! There are planty of us who'd give our eye teeth to present the show. Grown ups need to take responsibility for their actions. If he wasn't comfortable doing something then he should have spoken up. I strongly suspect that Mr Reid is using this news item to push himself back into the limelight. Sad.
Why is Clarkson's face being used on this video when he isn't actually in it, click bait?
Dislike because of the use of Clarkson's face as click bait.
Rory was a good TG presenter and should never have been dropped.
Never watched it since Clarkson and co left.

Actually they were easily replaced
@DavisJ-ln6fw The replacements were easy to find. Replicating the level of success of the previous three presenters? Not so much.
There is a case for Top Gear to make a simple car show, as of the original without the mayhem.,Leave that to the old boys.
No there isn’t. Nobody would watch it as was the case with the old show, hence why it changed.
You really need to stop showing people on camera who are not talking. It’s cringy. This video you have a woman interviewing Rory Reid and yet there’s another person not involved in the interview keeps being shown onscreen?
clarkson hammond and may had 20 years of growing into the roll.
role
@@JackBlack-ii1ip no they grew into the fact they could crash and roll as happened to Hammond multiple times.

Terrible click bait thumbnail no one cares about the stand ins for the previous presenters. The show ended when they left.

That's great news for you and the 5 other people that watch fifth gear.

Couldn't end fast enough. It was tv for boring old men who can't drive , scripted sh7te jokes and Hammond was just vile .
I would love to see a Top Gears RAMS, i bet they just copy the previous risk statements and change a few things lol.
Jesus why ask him .........
Clarkson was Top Gear.
No he wasn't
When they strapped a Sinclair c5 to a bob sled and sent it down the track at 70mph, I thought the show has gone too far someone could die here.

It all went downhill when Rory Reid started. The beginning of the box ticking era.
You are wrong actually.
