The Grand Tour

[forker]

Watched the first episode tonight and it's more or less as good as the old with more swearing. Definitely recommend

Agreed, that was up there with the best TG episodes. It'll be a tough act to keep up for the next 36 episodes but Amazon's billions will no doubt help. It will be interesting to see what they let Clarkson and Co get away with. All I could think of when I saw Jezza in HD is: 'Your a multi-millionaire for Christ's sake, sort your teeth out!'

Let's face it top gear is finished. Looking at the season ahead in the grand tour, it's the same cool content we used to only better since they don't have to censorship all the language.

Top Gear has been going since the late 70's so I don't think it's finished just yet. The Beeb will always have a motoring series, but I don't think they will make millions selling it to other countries in it's current format. If they can't make it work in the next series I think it might just sink back into obscurity. Let's face it, Matt LeBlanc and Chris Evans are just car enthusiasts, they're not motoring Journalists. They were just big names brought in to preserve the broad appeal and high profile of the brand. The other two lads (Harris and ?) would be better fronting the series, in fact, bring back Angela Rippon!
