alchresearch Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Disappointing. The "challenge" was nothing new and felt dragged out even longer than normal. The bits in the tent were just awkward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santo Posted November 22, 2016 Author Share Posted November 22, 2016 (edited) Disappointing. The "challenge" was nothing new and felt dragged out even longer than normal. The bits in the tent were just awkward. I agree with you and Cy. It was akin to an average episode of old (New) Top Gear. But that is still considerably better than Evans's Gear.

And rather than the permanently offended ignoring it he has got attention. So Clarkson haters will still hate and Clarkson lovers will think, 'ahhh same old Jezza!' It really is too easy for him sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swede1973 Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 I loved the original Top Gear and i watched the Grand Tour and its not to my taste. Drawn out not funny fighting etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alchresearch Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Second one was even worse. Lets hope episode 3 (UK) is a bit better, but I'm getting the impression you can't throw money at a problem to fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukdobby Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 What's been said,better than Evans but average top gear from the old times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S1 1DJ Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Both programmes are past it like their mid life crisis presenter's. We need something new! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Second one was even worse. Lets hope episode 3 (UK) is a bit better, but I'm getting the impression you can't throw money at a problem to fix it. They didn't even really have a problem, but it definitely seems that the increased budget hasn't improved the show at all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiteowl Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 I'd stopped watching Top Gear a couple of seasons ago as it had become a bit stale in my opinion. So I watched the Grand Tour, well the first 10 minutes or so anyway, but turned it off. Still stale to me but if you like the trio then I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
