Looking forward to the new TG, I have it slightly ahead imo.

GT S3 is not good

[quimbles]

First episode was tosh

[sford]

I watch it to keep up to speed with what's going on and because they do have some nice cars on it but I'm always a bit disappointed with the specials. I feel like it's turning into the instagram of car shows. Great cinematography as always but it's dumbing down content to appeal to the masses. Top Gear however is managing to keep both sides happy at the moment I think. It will be a shame to see MLB leave as I think him and monkey Harris go well together and are just getting into their stride.

I must be in the minority. I like the new series. Yes it’s stupid, scripted and predictable but it makes me laugh and keeps me entertained.

The worst bit about grand tour was the celebrity bit and it looks like that might have been dropped...

Fully expecting

The Columbia special ended a bit strangely I felt.

[Jetpilot]

Must be tough to keep trying to find a twist on the same format, i didnt mind the Colombia episodes, but i am sure it could have been condensed to one, i found it more enjoyable though when the challenge was more about the cars they had bought to do the challenge and them tw*tting around, than just them tw*tting around.

 

TG was getting good again, but with FF & PMG, i dont hold out much hope, although i quite like the both of them i am thinking more a league of their own.

To be fair I thought the tribute to Gentleman Jim was very well done in the latest episode.

Just didn't like episode 1, rest has been pretty good

Great piece , it would be good if they could do more of these.

This.

 

I got tricked at the weekend and put Top Gear on "Dave"... it was the new sort with a ginger and an american, I felt viloated. I have now seem 30seconds of that era of TG and frankly it was 30 seconds too much

I wouldn't say I like it but I am watching it and enjoying it. I did watch the start on series one, saw 4 or 5 and gave up, never watched series 2 but my son wanted to watch this series so I watched it with him and think it's ok, he loved the columbia special.

Absolutely, a few more well put together and dare i say "sensible" features would make for a great balance, been a bit too much twatting around until this episode.

 

Anyone like the A110?

Watched the last one. Can't say I was impressed. Very tired. Unsurprising I guess after 22 years.

 

Fairly typical in that they show the beauty of the country while ruining it by throwing a car down a mountain.

 

I just find them completely irresponsible.

 Yeah, the throwing a car down a mountain seemed completely pointless and had nothing to do with what was going on
