Some of the stuff on Prime has been good, the Mongolia special, for example. I haven’t seen this one yet but I don’t think the problem is that they’re old but that whoever was behind the ideas has run out of them. Clarkson’s Farm shows there’s still something there.
Was that one not meant to be the very end? Especially when Amazon are cutting ties with Clarkson and the farm thing after the next one.
To me, at some stage late TG into TGT, someone became too worried the lols wouldn't come, and started heavily scripting them (there was obvs always scripted skits, etc). But the thing is, when the three of them are just being the three of them, the lols pretty much invariably always did/do come. I also think the transition away from 'real' motoring in at least the sense of no longer driving every day, attainable cars/vehicles, and/or then modifying them in such a way as to go beyond the bounds of real motoring just made it a bit dull. I used to love the £1,000 X challenge, or £2,500 Y challenge, or the drive this car from between the years xx to yy from here to here. Those were always great.
Has any of TGT actually been any good? I'd argue not.
I got bored of TGT, I think I only watched the first season and maybe a special.
I enjoyed it. Slovenia looks a must.
Watched it. Much better than I was anticipating. Some really good / nice moments. Yes, the fact they barely journeyed together at all was a bit crap, but the Mansell stuff was good - the wax museum bit in general :D.
+1 for enjoying it. Certainly better than some of the stuff they’ve done recently.
I thought 'Sand Job' was the last special, but there appears to be another one lined up. It's crap as well.
So, so bad.
I thought this was the last one as well to be fair. I don't think I have watched any of the stuff they have done on Amazon and thought it was any good. The format was tired when they got binned off by the BBC and it's only got worse since then.

Grand Tour stars Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May bring their famous TV partnership to a close by agreeing to dissolve their production company
They're better individually.
Well, Clarkson and May are, Hammond still needs the others.
