Honestly, I didnt really like Strombo but I think he got throw into the deep end and was told to swim, give him some help and some time and I think he could have been good. I think he got sold out short.

And I dont dislike Maclean or anything, his style is...antique. Hes like James May...all sorts of brown and vanilla.

But as I stated earlier, this seems like a knee-jerk "Strombo didnt make our billions back immediately" run home to momma reaction.

I think the most telling part really is how important the intro and between-period segments appear to be.
