Lots of viewers are saying the same thing about the new Top Gear

Replacing Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond on Top Gear was never going to be an easy task.

The show was enormously popular during the trio's 13-year spell as its presenters, so when the time came for them to leave, it was predictable that not everyone would enjoy it quite as much with a change in personnel. Chris Evans was one of the men tasked with filling the boots of Clarkson et al, but it soon became clear that viewers weren't impressed. He stepped down at the end of his first and only series. Friends star Matt LeBlanc, however, proved to be more successful. He has since returned for his second season, accompanied by motoring journalists Rory Reid and Chris Harris. Clearly, this Top Gear is not the same show that it was back in the days of Clarkson, May and Hammond - even if much of its format remains the same. But with another episode aired on Sunday night, it seems many of those watching are starting to warm to the show's new look. https://twitter.com/ditchydj/status/846098882941587458 https://twitter.com/alex_mcculloch/status/846097951084679170 https://twitter.com/EliseScho/status/846097898416820225 https://twitter.com/imranio/status/846097790086320129 https://twitter.com/HamzaIsa/status/846097484078288896 https://twitter.com/M_Ioannides/status/846097266834391042 Not only do viewers seem to be keen on the latest Top Gear revamp, there's also a good view going as far as saying that they prefer it to The Grand Tour - Clarkson, May and Hammond's new(ish) car show for Amazon Prime. https://twitter.com/jm_donnelly/status/846098207612583936 https://twitter.com/GavinBeecroft/status/846091799999451136 https://twitter.com/JackofHarts94/status/846090732498759683 https://twitter.com/ChristianJS/status/846089824851415041 https://twitter.com/d_boxall/status/846089585436377089 https://twitter.com/bevilc/status/846088365795627009 https://twitter.com/Ferris93/status/846082898285531136
