Overall I liked the series but found the final special naff, particularly when compared to the TG Africa specials.

I think this season has been a bit dull, especially the last episode. I’m looking forward to the return of Top Gear as it’s the better car show since Chris Evans left Thumbs Up

I'll give the new new TG a go to see if they've gelled together a bit better. It's nowhere near as good as Clarkson and co. at their best.

Well it certainly ticks more BBC boxes now there's not a single white English male presenting anywhere on the show.

The new line up doesn't work for me. Too much effort on diversity and not enough on chemistry.

I see you've added to your retardedness, after I pointed out last time you went on about a lack of whitey that Sabine and EJ were still with the show Rolling Eyes

Yeah I have to say I've really enjoyed it so far. Still got today's to watch, but it's been really awesome.

Just spotted this. So a German female and an Irish man. Which of these two are white, English males?

Yep, I think it was the right way to end 22 years of the three of them together, it was the right time to go, but they will be missed ... if you like them of course, which I do Thumbs Up

It was okay but nothing really memorable.

It was decent. No new ideas, no surprises, tons of nostalgia in the end.

Everyone's very sad but they're flogging a dead horse at this point. The salt flats was an excellent end though.

That is the problem when you not only pushed the envelope of car entertainment for so long, but in many ways reinvented it, so many now try and be like TG/TGT,
They had the ending they never got at the BBC,
It was the end and I think they knew it,

Plus Richard and Jeremy are in full swing if their own 2024 version of TV.

Personally I didn't want them to reinvent anything.
I always liked the road trips with all the breakdowns, shithousery and glorious anti pc-ness.
Things on tv that make me smile these days are few and far between but I proper roared with laughter in the last episode when Hammond had to remove his rear shocks and bounce down the road.
The truly spectacular locations and backdrops just made each episode more compelling for me.
I will miss it all.

i prefer Clarksons farm to the Grand tour and Mays own stuff can be quite entertaining too.

it never felt quite as good to me after theyd left the BBC. still better than most other shows though.
