    Its still good in parts but a lot of it is just rehashed TG but rehashed in away the BBC cant sue them. The American is a dick, surely they could have found a half decent British ex racer to test the cars on the track. The braincrash thing was funny the first time and thats it and finishing on 'and on that disappointing conclusion' is also a dig at the BBC.

    IMO both new TG and TGT had an opportunity to give us 2 good new car shows and they both fooked it up by trying to be old TG.

    First episode I watched wide eyes at what appeared to be everything I had hoped

    By the Reef episode and the panto that was, I had abandoned all hope ( Still watched the next one though )


    Thankfully we still have Roadkill and MCM

    Of course they did. That is the formula that worked. They were never going to change it much, if at all.

    I think at some point I just stopped caring about it. Don't hate it, just not that bothered anymore.

    I find Chris Harris and Matt Farah's videos far more entertaining. The one CH did about the Vantage GT12, GT3 RS and a 650 spyder was better than anything TG have done in years. He was saying that once the 2nd hand values of the Porsche and the Aston have reached the McLaren price tag they should be compared and unfortunately the Macca is just better at all the things you'd want from them.

    Forgot to say, very annoyed that BBC swallowed it up, does any one know if they ever used it?

    meh, new top gear I really did not like at all.

    the grand tour? watched every episode, infact it's why I pay my Amazon prime every month. it's not amazing by any means, but it's better than 99% of the shit on tv these days.

    Latest episode had me rolling with laughter at times. Just about suited my juvenile sense of humor

    The first episode was excellent. I've found most of the films to be good. It's the fillers in the tent which need work

    No mention of the end of the season after EP 12... I really hope another is out Friday.

    The fact it's the only TV show ive waited for the air date to watch in years makes it a big scusess for me.

    Also... My 60 year old dad loves it. He's a biker. My mum loves it. Ask her what car she drivers and she says 'the green one' and my Mrs loves it (she doesn't drive)

    I'd say they've covered the demographics rather well...

    Trying to cover demographics is problem I had with old top gear, when the women at work are talking about it you know something has gone wrong. As said above the first episode was good and but the rest for me is pretty much the same old tg tripe. Bullsh*t jokes and set ups wear thin quickly if there is no substance to back it up
