The pre-recorded studio section of the show will be filmed in front of a live audience in a giant tent. Some of the show’s segments have already been filmed in Portugal, Barbados and North America.

The all new Top Gear series starring new cast members debuted last week (1 June 2016), on BBC Brit and DStv Channel 120, and there has been mixed reviews so far. The general impression seems to be that Matt LeBlanc is more popular than Chris Evans who received quite a bit of criticism.
