It definitely takes time to get that sort of chemistry going, assuming you've got the right people to begin with. I don't have cable or satellite though, so I won't be able to see it for a while.
He felt that the hosts own personalities should drive the show since an imitation of Clarkson, Hammond and May would just be substandard right away.

Its all about how to be a chap ! Such things as how to build a concrete kitchen work top; how to make a self service food system using an HO model railway, how to woo a woman with song (and no previous experience of playing a guitar), how to fight a duel with duelling pistols and sabres, how to defuse a German war time bomb using tools available from your local hardware store and most impressive home made fireworks and then using them to defeat wasps in the garden - a remote control model helicopter firing firework rockets, electronically ignited remotely, at the wasps that had been enticed to a plate of jam sandwiches on a garden picnic table(also remotely controlled to move itself out of the way for lawnmowing). Small video camera slung under helo to range ad aim rockets. Direct hit with wasp fatalities on third rocket and slow motion replays! (Now a USAF training video !!) Lots morefun stuff
Superb

Once they get past their scripted monologues I predict the show will be quite good.
