Flintoff is an absolute maniac and incredibly funny.

I wasn't sure if Paddy McGuinness would fit the role, but him and Flintoff together makes a great team!

Even Chris Harris has become a more entertaining presenter bouncing off the two funny men!

The episode with them electrocuting each other had me in stitches and the whole season so far has been the best for a long time, possibly even better than Clarkson, Hammond and May in my opinion!

There is a danger of them only appealing to Northerners though, would be interesting to see if their appeal crosses the North-South divide! Hope they don't suffer the same fate as Mark & Lard!

Fake news!
In the last episode of the 3rd season, they revealed it was the last episode of TGT, before explaining its the last episode in the current format, but they'll be back with a new format - whatever that means!

I understood it to mean that they will be making 3 or 4 of the longer "specials" each year for Amazon.

I actually really enjoyed this series with Flintoff & Paddy - was too short though - wonder if they were just testing the dynamic of the presenters....

agreed, I think they were testing the water a bit to see the reaction, looks like they will be back with a Christmas special.

I think they may already be filming the second series with Flintoff, Harris and mcguiness, as they were on radio 2 a month or so back and said as much from what I remember. Think they film a lot of it quite far in advance and the last season shown last year was actually filmed in 2017, or at least a fair bit of it.

Enjoyed the series, I though Paddy would be the weak link of the three but thought he was probably the funniest of them all. Seems to have gone down well anyway.

That must apply to me then as I can't stand them, absolutely sh!te. I only watched 1 episode and it was cringe from start to finish and I couldn't bring myself to watch any more. The BBC have killed TG with these two morons presenting it. I'd rather see Chris Goffey back and Tiff presenting than watching these 2 ruin TG.

That's a bit harsh!

As a Northerner living in Germany, I've learned to accept that the Northern sense of humour can be an aquired taste

I'll never give up trying to teach them though

Surely trying to teach germans any humour is an uphill struggle.

Haha, it often seems that way
Although in fairness, the Germans actually have a very good sense of humour, it's just very different from British humour.
They love slapstick type humour, Benny Hill & Mr Bean type stuff but the real humour is in their word games - essentially double-entendre's although mostly not rude - which kind of works because of the structure and strictness of the German language but wouldn't work so well in English. You need a very good comprehension of the German language to get the jokes, and almost be native to join in, so its very difficult for a non-German to appreciate their humour, hence why they have the reputation of not having a sense of humour!

I did like Clarkson and the others and expected the new seasons to be rubbish but I like them.

Watched this last week for the first time in ages - was hoping the guys from the SF experience would have locked paddy McGuinness in the boot of the disco and left him in the Cairngorms to be honest.
