Thank you

 

[GeoffCapes]

Glad I didn't pay for that!

Hum, not as good but still funny, found myself transfixed on the young lady with the big hips and the white top to the right of the TV.

Looking forward to next week.

I liked it still still way better than top gear was with clarkson and after clarkson

Shame about the content - not quite as top quality

So in South Africa????....I see they obviously decided to pick an audience that did not reflect local cultural diversity then...almost entirely european!

 

[Wack61]

Do they pick the audience, as it's not the BBC I assumed tickets would be sold

 

[allandwf]

I quite enjoyed it, though I did flick through the special forces bit. I can see a trend going with the celebrities lol.

I got an invite to apply for the UK episode filmed in Whitby, most likely with every other Prime member too! So, no, the tickets are not sold.
The filming of that was weeks ago, if not a few months, so unlike the old TG, it is certainly not current.

European? How did you deduce that? There are a large number of white South Africans in Joburg!

Tickets are done by the same Applause Store.

I thought episode 2 was really dull

 

[safrane]

Phil I am aware of that...but given the majority of the country are black it was stark how absent they were...less than 10%

 

[zagatoes30]

Not the best IMO, they really dragged out the SAS section and although funny in places a bit tedious

I am glad its back on, enjoyed both episodes, since the alternatives on the box are dire. It may be patchy but still better than most TV these days, i will watch the next one too!! i presume there will be no celebrities on this series, probably a copyright thing!

I enjoyed the second episode. I know the tent bit was filmed before the one for episode 1 but it seemed more relaxed. Will be interesting to see next weeks.

The chemistry is still there even though the roles are well known.

That Aston was crazy. Similar approach to the Ferrari FXX. It would be interesting to see how that compares.

How'd you work that one out?

 

[safrane]

The country has less than 10% of its population describing themselves as white...yet the audiance were mainly white.79% of the country are Black
If history is correct the majority of white people there are of European decent but of course are South African, just not native.

I just find it bizarre that a touring programes local audiance does not reflect the local population.

 

[daverichardson]

Very true
But
If we apply the same logic to the forthcoming show at Whitby I shudder to think...................
It will be full of Captain Birdseye's! Or worse!!
