Anyone watch The Grand Tour?

Watched it last night, it's ok, can't quite put my finger on it but it didn't feel as good as the original top gear, maybe it will get better over time. The name they chose "The Grand Tour", surely they could have done better than that.

I haven't watched it yet, going to get a Prime trial to watch it and see what it's like.

I think it's the fact they're trying to avoid using a lot of the old TG script (i.e. stuff like "and now for the news" or "and on that bombshell"), so everything seems to take a bit more thought.

(oops.... )so many fake bits that even when something good happens you have to think ,eh up ... maybe this is fake too.....of course some of it will be but its too much now, maybe it's ALLL bloody fake as frik no way to tell with so much fakery intertwined throughout the show ffs, at least with 5th gear you knew it was ALL REAL .

I'm a fan of the three for their entertainment value. I've always liked clarkson... but I'm struggling with The Grand Tour. Thought the first few were quite good, but it seems to have gone downhill from there. The latest Namibia two parter just seemed to be complete drivel, aimlessly driving about in beach buggies for the best part of two hours. 😐

I found top gear just annoyed me. Well shot yes but it's a program about 3 old men just pretending to be idiots. I get it non car people love it. But that's why I prefer Roadkill tbh and I'm not even into yank tanks.

Watched the first few. Found the times when they actually drive cars quite good. But there's also a lot of the staged bullsh*t comedy nothing to do with cars moments that do my head in. Got no interest in the celeb parts either.
If you just skip through to the good parts, then yes worth a watch. Otherwise youtube can offer up countless more car review type shows which actually have cool cars, good driving, and no fakeness. I certainly wouldn't buy into amazon prime just for the grand tour access

Yes a mate of mine was telling me they did an episode in Jordan and hammond is like look at me dressed in winter gear. But they have driven through Jordan before on Top Gear.

It seems like pretty much all acting now and a bit forced at times with them dragging it out for so long. I think that's all that's wrong with it. They could do with finding something original to do again. Like reviewing cars properly. 😄

It will be the exact same people who used to moan about Top Gear week after week, too stupid to use the remote control, yet daft enough to keep typing and telling the world that yet again they watched and hated it,
Anyone expecting them to change a winning formula to satisfy them is just a idiot,
Over 150 countries keep watching, must be frustrating when 3 millionaires keep ignoring their keyboard warrior skills.
