I'm willing to give it a go. I think McGuiness might be surprisingly good. Not so sure about Flintoff. Hopefully one or both of them will have decent chemistry with Harris, who I suspect was the real sore thumb in the previous line up.
As a light entertainment/comedy program, they don't seem to have grasped the idea that they need a foil for the comedian. A Morcombe needs his Wise; a Hardy needs his Laurel; a Max needs his Paddy. May plays this role perfectly; but they seem to be trying for three Clarksons.
