I wasn't happy those 2 were coming to Top Gear but Im so glad they've proved me wrong...the new series is really good and genuinely funny😄

[@coyotelong4349]

EugVR6 Agreed, these guys are great- The only thing May, Hammond, and Clarkson had on them was familiarity... The chemistry and comedic timing with this lot is just as good!

The 2 requirements for watching Top Gear now are: 1: Sub titles for Freddeh. 2: A pair of ear defenders for Paddeh.

[@petebrierley2073]

Firstly, Wiganer's are sometimes referred to as "pie-eaters". The name is said to date from the 1926 General Strike when Wigan coal miners were starved back to work before their counterparts in surrounding towns and so were forced to metaphorically eat "humble pie". Secondly, as far as I know a Wigan Kebab is Two Pies on a stick !

[@garethbattersby]

Indeed, the wigan kebab is two pies on a stick... The pie on a roll is simply a Pie Barm

[@mine7292]

Pete Brierley, you are right that this is the legend, however, there is no actual evidence that this ever took place. I think Wiganers just like pies.

[@briwire138]

@@charlottewebster4233 bit of confusion here. To her a tea cake is just a plain bread roll, she wanted to put bacon on it. What I call a tea cake has currents in, hence my surprise to her intentions. What she called a tea cake, I call a bap.

[@charlottewebster4233]

@@briwire138 Thank God I got the arse end of that cos otherwise, bacon in a hot cross bun would be sheer, unashamed levels of absolutely SAVAGERY!! 😂 She's right through; a T-cake or "Tay-cake" is a round plain bread roll you stick shit like bacon inside and then sit on to make sure it's all nicely squashed and then you shovel it down your neck wi' a brew. "Bap" to me is synonymous with "Tits" which is really childish and crass I know but it's just what I grew up with. Baps are tits. T-cakes are plain round bread rolls.

I don't mind northern accents, can be quite charming, but I can't understand why the BBC would choose presenters with strong regional accents to present a program that rely on foreign sales so much.

[@davidanthony8290]

Totally understand your point, but, the first episode was as good as any other Top Gear I've seen. these three have that chemistry.

[@manicmute9440]

To bring a bit of British culture to those foreigners, maybe. Great trio though, their accents take nothing away from that.

[@garethbattersby]

I like to think Game of Thrones has warmed folks to the northern accent, dare I say they even find it a bit sexy now thanks to Jon Snow... Take that midlands

[@JayWelton92]

To be honest, they already lost a massive audience as well as millions of pounds, sticking 3 guys who know nothing about cars together trying to put in the odd terrible joke is their last poor attempt at getting something back.

[@terrortorn]

They don't have strong regional accents. Paddy or Freddy are not that broad. The vast majority even in this country could tell them from Cumbrian or Yorkshire accented types .Chris however does have a strong regional accent, very clearly Home Counties. Besides Clarkson, May and Hamster were all very regional and by regional I mean non London.
