Its really good to have the boys back doing what they do best .
What an opening !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wonder if the ginger pratt has watched it?

 

 

70 quid a year worth it ?

 

Depends, were you a big fan of Top Gear with those 3? If not the TGT probably isn't for you.

 

I watched it until the 'boys' started telling Californians in a tent that the hood is the bonnet, the trunk is the boot etc etc. Clarkson looks tired and, in truth, knackered, and the other two are not much better. But perhaps it improves later.

 

Wow that opening scene was absolutely brilliant.
Not seen the rest though. Anyone know an alternative means of watching it all?

will amazon release weekly viewing figures? i think they are hoping ppl sign up for 30 days free prime and forget to cancel. seen it, its ok, but i would never pay for it.

 

Not unless you are a..

 

It's pretty much TG but with even more staged foolery...

 

And an even more forgiving audience

 

It was great i loved it, dpb it's free if you know where to look.

 

Me too. I watched it on youtube from the link above.

 

I have it on my firestick chipped

 

After the opening section, I wanted to own that Blue Ford Mustang. God that looked good.

Almost crashing the P1 was also rather funny. Genuine fear on his face.

 

Reading the comments I was encouraged to watch the rest of the prog and it improved after the first tent part. I don't know how they can follow those three hypercars. Nothing can compare unless they can get their hands on some F1 cars, although all three would then die for sure! That would make good tv though.

 

They were in whitby a few months ago crazy stuff jimmy carr was on a jet ski on the river esk and some stuntman jumped of the bridge,no one stole jc **** this time.

 

Just a shame the holy trinity thing was old news

 

I don't think Evans is a ginger prat.It was just the wrong show for him.

TG won't be the same since the boys left and don't think it ever will be.IMO it is dead.

Will have a look at this,but as to the opening clip,great save for the sycophantic way May gazed at Clarkson * shudder *

 

Just watched episode 2.....................WTF did I just watch!

 

good/bad ?

 

The piece with the Aston Martin Vulcan was pretty good, apart from that, possibly some of the worst TV I've seen this year, so staged and ham acted. I was cringing at the piece where they were dressed as special forces and the part of the show where the just chat $hit is just that, $hit!

I was never one to moan about TG when they were on it but mannnnn....on the whole of it, episode 2 of TGT is terrible!

 

jeez , 80 mill for that shiote


:thumbsdown:

 

what a surprise, bring out a barnstorming ep1 and everyone loses their ****, "it's the best thing ever" (actually it was only good due to the hypercars and the opening scene was impressive). Then every ep afterwards will be cack, standard.

 

80mil? where did you pull that figure from, your ****?

 

I think probably spending the same as bbc proportionately , on letting these middle aged goons get their kicks ( and coining it to boot )

but then have pay for bbc as well

 

the cost for the series seem to be 160 mil

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/on-demand...rksons-new-sh/

it says the opening sequence of series one was 2.5 mil alone

 

Caravan rally cross next week ??

Have we got that far yet

 

It'll be interesting to hear other peoples thoughts on the second episode.

 

I'm a big fan of the trio But I thought that ep2 was crap, it's very fake and very cringe worthy in places.
Il be cancelling my sub before the 30days are up

 

haven't watched either episode apart from the trailer of the opening 5 mins (all very self referential)

but the feedback from the 1st one seemed to be very positive

maybe the second one just focuses the mind on the fact that it's simply the "same old same old"

and the fact that they have moved to a different channel exacerbates this

or is the problem with the 2nd episode that it strayed from the script to much

or am I overthinking this !!!! lol
