All depends on your point of view; I thought the one they did last year was great entertainment and one they released yesterday is even better. At the end of the day, its 3 middle aged guys having a bloody good laugh in some amazing places around the world, usually involving some interesting cars (or boats on occasion). Its not a serious car programme but then again I dont think it was ever meant to be, just good old fashioned lads entertainment....and I love it!

Watched it last night; actually laughed out loud more watching that than anything else in years.

Not to be taken seriously that is for sure.

they spend a lot of £ per mile when you work it out!

Has anyone noticed the sloppy editing?
Hammond has the FURY numberplate a few times in shots before the beach scene and before Clarkson gives it to him....

Just thought they sounded like ageing old dinosaur farts with Clarkson the worse with the same old comments....I turned it off ...He needs to call it a day now..............Loved the three of them when they were fresh but now its the same old for the some old sake....Not for me now I'm afraid but I will watch it and see if they can change my mind....

Fair comment Andy; it is at best puerile but nobody expects anything else from them these days. Don’t think of it as a car show because it isn’t.

Just finished watching it. And to be fair. It was a bit cr*p.

Think Top Gear is better. But not by much.

Watched it with our boys (13 and 11) who laughed throughout.

I think it’ll be like Turkey and the Morecambe and Wise Christmas specials - once a year is fine - gives you enough time to forget the last one.
