The new series of Top Gear has been met with anger as fans took to the internet to complain that the show was not like the version they used to complain about.

‘I hated Chris Evans’s new Top Gear because it was so scripted and staged ,’ complained forum regular permanentvirgin14. ‘Why couldn’t it be more like the old show, which I hated because it was so scripted and staged.’

‘I don’t know where to begin with complaining about the new show,’ said online commenter friendlessITconsultant86. ‘It made me long for the return of Clarkson, Hammond and May so I can go back to complaining about them instead.’

‘I will not be watching this new Top Gear again,’ added Twitter user @blackclothesnomates5000 .’Except for every show in this and subsequent series’.’
