Chris Harris? Well, there's no denying that his reviews are crisp and are rather brilliant! There's absolutely no clowning about as we see in Top Gear these days. Still, I feel this guy exaggerates and over-acts sometimes. Only sometimes...And, I also see a certain Clarkson-wannabe endeavor in his eyes. That said, basis his work and experience of the past it's just a matter of time before he makes it big. Could well be TG big...
However, I have my doubts if the show will ever be the same again without the legendary trio of Clarkson, Hammond and May.
Clarkson is a legend in his own lifetime, and while it may not be for his car-driving skills, there are plenty of reasons why he is, and will always be. One thing which I haven't understood so far with hardcore petrol-heads/critics is that they have always questioned Clarkson's car controlling ability by comparing it with Tiff, Harris, et al. This isn't F1, is it? Or, are we running any sort of championship on BBC? This a car-program. So, why all that brouhaha? It may sound fanboy-ish now, but as long as Clarkson can pull power-slides and speak his heart-out about cars, I can live without Tiff or Harris's drifting finesse. Period.
Replacement, displacement or whatever, agreed, Top Gear is on its last legs now (with the current hosts!). A new cast may not be too far from making, but forgetting the old one will definitely take some time. Might even take forever...Remember, these are the guys who started it all...
