Top Gear is back, and people aren't pleased.

From the moment it was announced Top Gear would be returning without the presenting trio of Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond people were up in arms. For many Top Gear was the presenters. Changing them would mean making the show something its not. But the BBC kept on with its plans of a new look show and held faith, even when it went through a few problems. Ok more than a few problems. Maybe a lot of problems and mickey taking. But after months of hype and trailers and blusters and apologies, the very first episode of the Chris Evans - Matt LeBlanc era of Top Gear arrived on our screens this week. However, viewers didn't exactly take too kindly to the first episode of the new era on Twitter. Here's the best reaction... https://twitter.com/carolvorders/status/737006359393239040 https://twitter.com/paulcolgan/status/737013106946281472 https://twitter.com/Mendelpol/status/737012944844787713 https://twitter.com/Dave_K_Flynn/status/737010153866821632 https://twitter.com/lukestedmon/status/737009882319224832 https://twitter.com/darrylmorris/status/737013362232569857 https://twitter.com/GeorgeBack5/status/737012846677118976 https://twitter.com/shkenna/status/737013263716749312 https://twitter.com/RingGeneral/status/737012420481290244 Still, it was only the first episode, and even in the Clarkson era Top Gear had hit and miss episodes. As one TV critic put it. https://twitter.com/scottygb/status/737000793509908480 https://twitter.com/scottygb/status/737042244629372928 With Jeremy Clarkson's Amazon show, The Grand Tour planned for release in the future, the new look Top Gear will have its work cut out to keep fans from jumping ship. Still, having more than one television programme about cars is a nice thing, however you spin it. What do you think of the new look Top Gear?
