The bits in the tent do feel way more forced somehow, maybe the cheapness of the old studio added to a lot of the charm
The track bit with the hypercars was great, though
I'm sure the music played as the Ferrari was coming out of the truck was a from a fairly recent film, I just can't put my finger on it though!I am not sure of this, but I dont think they are using movie soundtracks anymore as background music. I think they may be using custom created stuff. If so, I guess that makes licensing much less of a hassle to deal with, and a possible physical release of the seasons of Blu Ray much more of a possibility.
Bought an LG OLED a few days ago. Worth every penny.
This show looks stunning at 4K HDR!

Strange, I watched it right when it hit and it did not prompt HDR mode of me, only standard 4K. I will have to try it again and see if HDR engages.

This news makes a lot more sense now lol. Potential spoilers.Episode was fantastic.
Can't wait to see Jezza's house get torn down.

Weird.
I'm watching it using the built in tv app. It was the first option under 4K UHD Originals.
How can I watch it with HDR enabled? I'm guessing I can't just do it through a browser from my pc connected via HDMI to TV?
Good first episode but not without its flaws for me.
The introduction was cringy and self indulgent, I was waiting for the punch line but it never came. It really was a 'look how great we are' opening which just doesn't work for me because they're a trio of prats (which is what I love).
The scripted bits are as painful as usual, why Carol Vorderman??!
Also can't agree with others here saying the Amazon money shows in comparison, the production quality seems exactly the same as it was on the BBC (which was excellent) except for the exotic studio locations.
So good to have them back though, I'm glad the format is largely unchanged. Excited for next week.
Oh and I miss the stig
They're finally bringing it to Canada? I guess sign up to Prime now before they raise the price.It'll be through Amazon, The Grand Tour's international release will coincide with Amazon Prime Video going global.
moment of silence for Final Gear
the digital lap board with the high tech graphics really sealed the deal for me. I want the markers and uneven magnetic strips back.
Watched this a couple hours ago. It looks great and it's pretty much classic Top Gear in every way but name. Aside from no commercials, the coolest thing is the Amazon X-ray support for this show. Tells you all the music that plays in the background and lots of little trivia bits from car specs to little on set facts. Makes for a superior experience than old Top Gear.
