The Grand Tour

Anyone watch the 1st one? I thought it was ok ish but not brilliant. I am not sure the humour will go down too well in some places.

Haven't watched it yet CK. Lined up to do so one night this week though. Better than TG with the Ginge?

Very entertaining but a tad too long at 72 minutes.....great camera work as expected but Clarksons face in 4k takes some getting used to.....may scare the feint hearted :lolno:

I watched it and liked it and I'm not a great fan of Clarkson but the 2nd one wasn't as good.

I thought the 2nd one was like Ariston. It went on and on. A little bit too much really.

I enjoyed the first one, but this one was complete rubbish - not even as good as some of the Chris Evans versions. I do hope it improves or I won't bother to watch the rest.

Where were all the cars?

I thought it was a car show not a boys jolly.

Don't hold your breath, it gets worse.The Xmas two episode special was a waste of time. Last week was rubbish. They only showed one car! Frankly we enjoyed the Chris Evans version more. I actually cancelled my tree trial I was so disgusted. I then found that it was available now on Amazon Spain, so I relented and watched it last week.

Just watched 3 and 4 and thought 3 was the best of the 1st 4.

That's what I thought, but it was the best of the lot so far.
