I did laugh a bit at Clarksons ‘anything from Amazon’ and Hammond saying ‘Yes…they want their laptops back’

I'm awaiting the BBCs new car show " Tranny travels" with a transgender host, ably supported by Warwick Davis and Lucy pinder.

It'll be a cracker I tell thee...

 

[Warspite]

Don't give the BBC idea's, they are quite capable of coming up with terrible ideas themselves.

 

[SatansReverence]

A fitting send off.

Plenty of good content still coming out of the three of them on YouTube and elsewhere (Clarksons Farm is brilliant) but nothing will hit the spot like a good cheap car adventure in a developing country.

 

[Sonik]

I cried like a little girl, can't believe it's been 22 years, I've probably watched every single episode of both Top Gear and Grand Tour and I don't even like cars that much. I'll miss those lads so fucking much

 

[Blade2.0]

Shame it's came to an end. The steady increase of electric cars and the inevitable increase of complaints because nobody can take a joke anymore has killed the show.

Thankfully all the old specials are still on iPlayer and Prime has the Grand Tour available. Just a shame there'll be no more. As shown by the revamp and further revamp of Top Gear, they simply weren't replaceable.

Obligatory - SPEED and POWER!

I don't think they're unreplaceable, just that YouTube car hosts have all taken the audience away from cable and premium subscription streams.

a legend ends!

there will never, never be a motoring show like this one ever again

Yeah cause as Clarkson said the cars suck.

Add Miriam Margolyes to the mixer and you've got a programme.

Yeah cause as Clarkson said the cars suck.

it is true, up to a certain point, that both regulations and economics are choking the industry - for those of us a bit older, the variety of cars in 80's and 90's will never exist again. And I mean true variation, putting skins on a common platform like the industry does today is not the same. And from a motorist enthusiast journalistpoint of view, having access to everything, getting offered cloned cars all over must be incredibly boring.

On the other hand it is also true because what these guys did required talent, charisma, chemistry and an equally talented team behind them. These qualities are very, very hard to put together - we've seen enough pathetic attempts by the BBC by now that it such be evident.

 

[Lukaku's First Touch]

Last episode was ok but not great. I laughed at the boat part though.

I'd watch it.

(If it was 2004)

 

[Big Baller]

I just learned Top Gear UK has ended

I just learned Top Gear UK has ended

Ya one of the new guys almost died and he has permanent facial damage due to the accident.

 

[FunkMiller]

Not bad. Not great.

Kinda glad they've turned it in. It was starting to get a bit boring, formula-wise. The over-produced, over-scripted Grand Tour stuff hasn't really held a candle to the looser, more natural Top Gear specials.

I like they actually played with the fact the three of them did absolutely nothing when it actually came to the building work though

Probably should have ended a good two or three shows ago, or even when the studio stuff was canned. It was a pity they couldn't/wouldn't get more stuff from the archives. Probably the pissy BBC not wanting to play ball with Amazon.

 

[crobb2305]

and so ends a chapter of my life... im 35 and have watched them since they started... this is making me feel old now

 

[ForAcademicPurposes]

May with Donut Media. Something that I'd thought that I'd never see.

 

[BigDeadFreak]

Add Miriam Margolyes to the mixer and you've got a programme.

Susan Coleman as guest presenter. Maybe with added James Corden to really crank up the hate factor.

 

[TTOOLL]

Amazing closure. Sad to see them go.
Also, anybody else here into Clarkson's Farm?

what a terrible show.

 

[winjer]

It was a good episode. Zimbabwe is an amazing country, with beautiful vistas.
There were a few good jokes, though I wish there were more.
The ending in the Makgadikgadi, was very touching. I'm going to miss these three guys doing these adventures.
