New Grand Tour

dopper99 · 07-20-2021, 05:29 PM

Next week 30 July.

I think looking at this ... more of the same old stuff and looking a bit tired now.

Much prefer Clarksons Farm.

Yeah it does...still made he chuckle though..

Will still be worth a watch but imagine Clarkson will let it die off given he has Millionaire and the Farm programme now.

The grand tour still scratches my car loving itch more than any tractor can :-)

Never watched a singe episode of Grand Tour.

Don't feel I've missed anything!

The Grand Tour unfortunately has to include the hangers on of Hammond and May who have kinda some their thing too many times now. Clarkson is affirming himself as a sole pilot along with a few new characters in the farm show.

Well call me a simple bumpkin but the trailer made me laugh (even though it's the same GT/TG formula) and I'll happily watch the full version.

I’ll watch it, I prefer cars to tractors.

Well that just shows where people are different. For me, the first season started off OK and each season has improved since then. The current formula without the car tests/celebs/studio is the best and the Mongolia special, Seamen and the most recent one in Madagascar were all excellent and I've already watched them multiple times.

If you read Richard Porter's book on Top Gear, or listen to his podcast with Jonny Smith you'll appreciate it even more, realise its not scripted, and that 100's of hours are filmed from loads of different cameras that takes an absolute age to edit. I still think it's quite special.
