The Grand Tour.....

[angryjonny]

I'd probably watch an old old style Top Gear. Chris Goffey measuring glove-box capacities and Tony Mason test driving hatchbacks. They'd have to settle for <1m viewers though, and find a Sunday night entertainment show in leiu of Top Gear in a completely different format.

Fifth Gear I always found a bit "I LUV CARZ MOAR THAN U LUV CARZ". The Fifth Gear presenters could easily be the Top Gear audience.

People enjoy watching mad stuff on bikes. Just look at how well Guy Martin has done and its not like there's a shortage of crazy bike related high jinks going on around the world. Might even get Dr Lucy into some leather.

That was all right, that, all right.

Production values were better, not-the-Stig was worse, laughs were had, Clarkson and May need to lay off the pies. Will watch again in order to moan about how it's always the same stuff.

All seemed very forced to me. Perhaps they need to get used to the situation. May missed his cues quite a few times. Perhaps nerves. Felt way too long, got boring quite quickly. They could have cut out the stupid and pointless "RAF is best" drivel.

Hopefully it'll get a lot better, over an hour of Top Trumps will wear thin quickly.

Not bad for a first episode. Thought the way of saying that 'Star In A Reasonably Priced Car' was dead was a bit pointless, and again, the RAF thing got boring after 2 goes, and there was what, 5 'cuts' in total?

Overall, similar to when the 3 of them were on TG which is no bad thing, although it was becoming a little stale so they do need some fresh ideas

Hopefully we'll see some GT challenges like the TG challenges of old, I did enjoy those.

Some more 'bridge has a slope on it' and 'how to upset the Argentinians' please

I would like to see the receipts for the purchase of Amazon Prime from the people who have been offended.

Tumbleweed, you say?

Episode 2 was far more like it for me, lots of fun

They need to ditch the yank test driver and break out "the Ben Collins" soon though (even though its apparently fiction that he's joining in)

A few issues with episode 2 on kodi/exodus, no sound from the presenters mics but you can hear the audience

[Irn-Bru]

Same here via torrents, trying a new one now but the "internal" version is a no-go, there doesn't seem to be a 1080p copy either.

Enjoy

They've fixed the stream(s) now

[M.C]

[recman]

I'll stick with it, it's not outrageously dissimilar to the old format.
I just wanted a bit of the old banter back tbh, looks like there could be one or two more swears in there to make things a bit more realistic.

[Dave....]

Getting even better.

Torrent was working for me

If there are no complaints about this weeks, I will be very surprised . . .

[Suntan Sid]

Just watched ep 2, more like the old Top Gear!
Just needs some ridiculous chalenge/car building/destruction and they'll be back were they left off.
Beeb have fooked up big time, IMO!

Hmm. Seeing as I found Top Gear tediously boring I guess I was never the target market for this.

E01 was plodding, too long, trying too hard and scattered with incredibly dull moments pretending to be humour.

You like this stuff, good for you - I'll be sticking with South Park and Westworld.
