Critics Divided Over New BBC Road Tripping Series

The debut episode of 'Paddy and Chris: Road Tripping' has left BBC viewers largely disappointed, particularly due to the absence of co-host Freddie Flintoff, who is recovering from a severe car crash. Paddy McGuinness and Chris Harris traveled to Sweden to explore aging gracefully, but many fans expressed that the show felt incomplete without Flintoff, calling it 'dull' and 'trash.' While some viewers appreciated the nostalgic references to 'Top Gear,' others criticized the show as a poor replacement for the iconic series. Twitter reactions included complaints about the show's lack of substance and questions about its purpose. Despite the negative feedback, a few fans enjoyed the series, likening it to 'Top Gear done right' without the stunts. The future of 'Top Gear' remains uncertain following Flintoff's accident, further overshadowing this new venture.
