New special incoming.

 

[Kenpachii]

Love there specials will watch.

 

[jonnyp]

I like the specials but I miss them actually testing and discussing new cars as well.

 

[Putonahappyface]

Not many episodes left now on their contract. I hope another television company picks them up.

 

[Nitty_Grimes]

Reminds me I haven’t watched the previous one yet.

As long as we keep getting Clarkson's farm.

I'm afraid that's probably coming to an end after the next season too. Clarkson is anathema to a lot of the people in Amazon Studios US.

I know. I wonder if he retains some rights or if he can go elsewhere and create a "diddly Squat Farm show".

That's on the chopping board also.

Clarkson committed the sin of making a tame joke at the expense of one of Pedowood's sacred cows, so don't get your hopes up.

I think their time has past. I loved Top Gear and the Grand Tour has been pretty good at times. However, most people now think they are bordering on being Nazis because they made a couple of jokes about Mexicans and Saint Megan. They would never get commissioned for anything if now if they were just getting started.

 

[AJUMP23]

Episode was fun, I hate that James missed out on so much.

I mean … I imagine they want to retire

They will probably get $100 million from rumble or something.

They've said in previous interviews they don't.

I very much doubt he actually missed out on anything. What gets put up on screen is no doubt very different to the truth.

He did miss out, here is James and Hammond trying out Clarkson's car and talking about the journey.
BTW, Clarkson is keeping this car.

Amazing special!! The museum part had me dying, the other parts were funny/cool too.

Just give me more ffs

 

[Hudo]

I think it was alright. Even though they had a clear route, I kinda missed some "story arch" or something. The special kinda fizzled, even with the runway stunt at the end. Seamen is still my favorite.

 

[adamosmaki]

good episode. Grand tour is probably the only show i watch nowdays and will be a sad day when those 3 retire

 

[Zarak]

In the past when there was a new Grand Tour episode it would be all over Prime video. They are burying the shit out of this new episode. Only people who are following the show online will even know there is a new episode.

 

[Winter John]

Eh. It wasn't the worst but it's pretty much done. I wasn't convinced by their switch to Amazon. The shows just ain't been the same quality as the ones on the BBC. I still rewatch the old specials. The Vietnam and India ones are great.

Agreed. The studio stuff was a bit naff (like celebrity brain crash), the specials are not as exciting as we have seen it all before and that is all we are getting from them. It is still better than Top Gear after they left. I do still enjoy grand tour more than 90% of tv though.

My kids love these guys, they're still young enough to believe its all real and i've always enjoyed their banter

I haven't watched any of the new ones. The last thing I read some dude from Friends was presenting it which made no sense at all to me

It's as generic as you could imagine.

 

[Pakoe]

Gonna be a sad day having to see these 3 retire.

 

[RavageX]

Top Gear with them is one of my favorite shows. I did like the reviews, but loved the laps and the adventures. I have not watched Grand Tour just because it is different and not sure how I'll feel about it.

It's really not much different. In the earlier seasons they even had the same kinda celebs driving around a track thing.

 

[Kenpachii]

Decent special, not one i will rewatch tho.
