The hype was strong, the result not so much, yet it's still alright to watch. Thumbs Up

The last episode felt just like any other Top Gear episode there was, with those 3 lads. And that's pretty much what the whole show turned into. The GT is not bad, but not good either - avg. of 6/10.

Sat down with a few beers and laughed like the village idiot I am.

Beer always helps, but I enjoyed the show a lot.

I watched TG for many years with them 3, I didn't care that it was scripted etc it was still entertaining for an hour on a Sunday Evening... I "tried" watching the new TG with Evans trying to sound like Clarkson in the intros and just shuddered.

TGT is scripted and corny as fuck at times.... but it's just like the old fashioned TG to me..... Entertaining for an hour or so* Thumbs Up Thumbs Up Thumbs Up



*Would I pay to watch it...... wouldIfuck

Glad I'm not the only one. Laughing

I genuinely LOL'd when May's straw 4x4 lost it's load just as he was exiting the field. That and when he threw the ball of twine and it rolled back out again... Too funny. Laughing

I've enjoyed all of them.... and the whinging in the newspapers about how un-pc they're all being. In the latest episode they threw a few dead animals on a hastily made scale.... big deal, get over it or don't watch it.

It's like people going to a Frankie Boyle show and complaining that he/they was/were offensive Rolling Eyes
He's been verbally abusing people for years and they've still paid (more) for front row seats just to get that extra verbal abuse.... same thing with the REAL Top Gear (crew), They are going to offend someone, ffffff...... FUCKING DEAL WITH IT

The only person to ever liken Boyle to the geriatric comedy black hole that is Grand Tour. I applaud your verve.

The only time Frankie Boyle's made me laugh was that joke about Katie Price's son he got in trouble for. Harvey had a response for him: https://youtu.be/UNMPzMC9buA?t=17s Laughing

James' film was brilliant. One of the better films including the one on Senna from the Top Gear days. The rest was good. Studio bits were the low point. Celebrity Brain storm? How long are they going to keep trotting that one out for? Nice dig at the Beeb in Hammond's film.

Yeah the dig was funny Smile They have been milking celebrity brain crash, the week before with some bands no ones heard of, but I still found a current F1 driver staggering out of the woods drunk hilarious. Lewis Hamilton wouldn't do that, he'd play himself as a fashion ponce in Zoolander 2 (no acting required there), but not that.

EDIT: don't get butthurt bugeye, he's a proud fashion ponce Wink

This approaches what I want from a petrolhead show. No bollock gimmicks, no "edgy" anti-PC pseudo comedy - just stuff about the machine.

Watched a few, I've got to the end of my interest level with it. EP 3 was just total crap. I skipped large chunks of it and even went off and made coffee without pausing it.

Just boringly repetitive. Wont be watching any more.

Since it's utterly repetitive you can walk away for 55 minutes and still know exactly what happened.

They might have run out of ideas already Neutral This weeks episode felt like the Botswana TG special, well the beginning of it (we'll see what happens next week). They also used the misfire gag on TG.
