The Grand Tour
Just watched the first episode and I like it.
It needs to mature a bit but it was very enjoyable.
Looking forward to the next 11 weeks

Re: The Grand Tour
Best thing about this...
The BBC collectively choking on their bile when Clarkson started cracking jokes at the Beebs expense.
Joyous.
Lets hope for more unshackled content like this, free of the bias and political correctness that has hamstrung creativity at that place for so long.

Re: The Grand Tour
I just watched it and loved it ,i was a big fan of the old TG and was absolutely horrified at the attempt that Chris Evans made ,the BBC might as well give up with top gear
More of the same please Amazon

Re: The Grand Tour
It was good! I really liked the start. I always felt that some pieces are forced but none the less it's basically Top Gear.
The BBC should just turn it into a different show. They're not going to recapture what went before.

Re: The Grand Tour
Episode 2 was dire. Tried way too hard to be funny. Was a real struggle to watch. Hopefully the coming episodes will be a return to form cause I can't watch that every week.

Re: The Grand Tour
I am glad you said that, I thought it was just me thinking it was a bit of a let down.

Re: The Grand Tour
You can deffos see the jokes that they'll keep using every week. Despite how staged the challenge was, I enjoyed it. It'd be nice if they actually tested cars out on the road though.

I thought that about the last few years of top gear, glad I'm not missing anything

Re: The Grand Tour
E2 was meh - the Special Forces bit was overdone.

Re: The Grand Tour
Strangely I enjoyed Ep2 more than Ep1? The absolute silliness of it all got to me.

Re: The Grand Tour
I like the episodes where they're on a long road trip across foreign land. I also like the challenge episodes where they've got to get from point A to point B somewhere in the UK driving clapped out motors.
An episode of this type must be around the corner.
