The celebs part of the show was strange...
Good show still.
Cheers. It's on Exodus anyway but my Ma wants to see it so I might download it for her next time I visit.Quote:

Remember when Clarkson did documentaries and shit? All three of them are now doomed to do this forever.
I highly doubt they care, fucking rolling in cash.
I think people forget how good he is at them, these two are the best I've seen-Quote:

That was good.
What was the whole dead celebrity thing about? Did I miss an in-joke?
That was a bit odd, and 'The American' stopped being funny after about five seconds; but otherwise it was about as good as it could have been.
The bit about the RAF was really odd too. They seem to think it's a sitcom.
I thought the 'American' driver bit was the only miss. The rest was quite good, I thought. The intro was just excellent.
The introduction about them all being fired and then shouting each others names like they're superstars? It all seemed a bit bizarre to me. :D
I meant the shot of Clarkson driving and then the other two joining him. Then driving on the desert with all the different vehicles. Great stuff.
I'd agree. That was properly good.Quote:

I thought it was really good, but they need to tone it back a tiny bit. It's fairly obvious they've got a blank cheque book so now they've displayed that I'd still like it to go on like it has some BBC constraints.
The celebrity bit was weird, presumably a 'look what we can do! #hollywood' and the sitcom bit felt a bit forced. But then again it was an American audience so perhaps it needed to be.
Overall, 8.5/10. The cinematography was great, much like the BBC one but better. The opening was absolutely outstanding too. Really looking forward to the rest. The BBC Top Gear should can it pretty much now.
Just watched it. Wasn't as good as the old Top Gear but still enjoyable. The best bits are when the three of them are having genuine "bantz" but more often them not it's obviously fake and comes across as too try-hard. I'll watch them all though.
Thread title needs updating.
Finally watched it last night and I really enjoyed it.
As mentioned, the intro was the best bit with The American and the celebrity section being proper shit.
I wonder if we'll have 'The South African' next week as the main driver.
I hope they get more racing car drivers in, liked the D'Ambrosio bit. If they're in South Africa I'd like to see Brad Binder.
He'll have been a bit busy when they were filming I would think.
Episode 2 is crap. Another dead celebrity thing that didn't make sense, the shit American driver and the main feature video in Jordan was boring and had less to do with cars than normal (which isn't a lot).
We need more long distance races/adventures in decent cars, please.
Spoilers please, you lunatic.
Yeah I didn't like it near as much this week. There were worse episodes of TG when they used to do it, but they can't afford them so weak when they're so much less frequent and the budget is so high.
I'd never seen those until this morning. The first is fantastic. Reserving the latter for tomorrow morning.Quote:

I thought the studio bits in the second one were even better, the whole conversation thing was very well made, but the Jordan bit was just weird. I didn't hate it, but I didn't really understand what they were trying to do so it fell a bit flat.
Just to be clear, I'm referring to the second documentary I linked above.
We know. Merse quoted that post.
I really didn't like it.
I found the Jordan thing incredibly shit and I really don't get why they're doing the dead celebrity thing again.
The second episode is bollocks, and that Aston Martin is stupid.
Yeah what a weird pile of shit. Clearly that was Clarkson's brainchild.
The second episode was kinda fucking stupid.
Mike Skinner (The American) wasn't even a really successful driver in NASCAR so I'm a bit surprised they got him for this gig.
At any rate. The second episode fucking draaaaaaaaagged. What was the point of half of that shit? Especially when they would do the "die and restart" shit.
I thought it was going to be a "which car would be best for a car chase" bit and they'd do different cars. Blow some shit up.
But it's just them fucking off with guns and such! Nevertheless the entire "oh kill me kill me they're doing stuff to me just shoot me in the face!"
What. The. Fuck.
The dead celebrity shit is stupid, too. Just say you don't see a point of using celebrities and be done with it.
Ben Collins didn't exactly have a stellar racing career either.
Best episode so far and by quite some distance.
thank fuck. can't wait to get home to watch it then
I started, but the first few I checked had sound sync issues. I'll try again later on.
This second episode is comfortably the worst episode of Top Gear or Grand Tour they've ever made. It's fucking awful.
I wasn't as keen on the first half of the episode but the second half was really good, bar the dead celebrity bit ofc.
As Yev says, it's the best of the series thus far.
Ep 4 still persists with the stupid celebrity thing, and the annoying mediocre American.
Is the celebrity thing not a dig at the BBC because one of the 'clauses' was that they can't interview celebrities on the new show?
Yeah but it wasn't funny the first time they did it but still insist on doing it.
I'm guessing those segments are all in the can by now, so it's not as if it's going to change this series.
It's also pretty weird to take the 'joke' as far as this, plus how many people watching are going to know why they're doing it?
It would have been marginally funnier had they claimed that the BBC were killing them off in the first episode.
Probably wouldn't have gone down too well in the courts though.
This has got really poor really quick.
I thought episode 4 was as good as three (which I liked a lot), but there is something quite tired about the whole thing.

Jeremy Clarkson’s new motoring show has become the most illegally downloaded television programme in history, figures suggest.
The data, shared with the Mail on Sunday, suggests the first episode was downloaded illegally 7.9m times, the second 6.4m times and the third 4.6m times. British viewers made up the largest percentage (13.7%) of the total number of illegal downloads.
Muso estimated that Amazon could have lost up to £3.2m in revenue in Britain alone on episode one because of illegal downloads. Chris Elkins, the chief commercial officer at the company, said: “It is the most illegally downloaded programme ever. It is off the scale in terms of volume.”
That drop off in numbers. :drool:
Yeah, that second episode in Jordan really seems to have switched people off.
I just can't be arsed watching the new episode. I know it's never really been about cars as such, but it seems so focused on the three zany guys now, it's lost any sort of interest.
