The Grand Tour on Prime

Watched it last night.....It was watchable....but that's about it for me.....Lets get three cars and turn them into something they aren't.....How many times can they keep doing this.....They have just got three boring old farts....Clarkson the worse. I get the it's just silly puerile entertainment which I do rather love but I watched Gordon, Gino and Fred's Christmas special and that was very funny...Same format but without cars....Had me in stitches far more than the Clarkson mob and ai am not a fan of Gordon Ramsay but these three together works.

Love the Gino, Gordon and Fred specials too.
Similar recipe for success for me tho as the Top Gear Guys.

Don’t take it too seriously, just enjoy.

I agree, it’s a funny program. Lots of p*ss taking and boys having a laugh.

I think it's an amazing places to eat? Gino Da Campo, Gordon Ramsey and Fred Sirieux. The original series was good. We've kept a couple of the recordings to remind us of places to go.

I'll have to look out for this, Prime or Netflix?

Christmas special was on a few days ago and seeing Gino being dragged around on his **** by a Reindeer was pretty funny. worth hunting down the other two series if you like it. Just a load of silliness.

We watched the Grand Tour last night and enjoyed it very much. It wasn’t filled with puerile cøck jokes and it did look properly gruelling. It was an excellent semi-scripted show, in my humble. And funny, too.

Watched GT last night it was amusing in a silly sort of way wouldn't have been over fussed if we had missed it though.

Need look up Gino, Gordon and Fred then on ITV which means not available through the Satellite here will connect interwebby thing and find it

Must agree, but didn’t realize it was a series, thought it was just a one off Christmas thing. I will look for more. Just light hearted banter, but also interesting, and silly can be good as well.

Well worth hunting down if you liked the Christmas one........Its brilliant entertainment.

Travels with my Dad with Jack Whitehall was good for entertainment.

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....

This.

They should rename it Jurassic Park.

Too scripted.
Too formulaic.
They're almost indignant about how they behave.

I still enjoy watching the old Clarkson Top Gear episodes, but the new Grand Tour episodes are awful.

I agree.

It's much funnier than what the Grand Tour is dishing out.

Gino is flipping hilarious. The Texas one when Gino crashes, flipping heck.

Like Lewis Hamilton; some like it some don’t.

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

Think Top Gear is better. But not by much.

How do you make an entertaining car show , review cars nobody can afford , review cars people can afford , both are pretty dull to watch.

Supercars aren't as thin on the ground as they used to be so not as exciting when you see one , saw a granturismo today in Warrington, well , heard it before I saw it , he probably thought he'd entertain the plebs with a quick burst in the town centre but 40-45 in a 20, really !

The internet is where the niche car shows are , pick your style and go find it , mainstream TV is still in the 90s , run by old men

Aaaaaaaand that brings us to Harry's Garage.....probably the best petrol heads car programme anywhere...

Now the cats out of the bag what with young Mr Russell.. most good drivers
on the FI grid could win in a Merc!
Mr H was very lucky to sign from McLaren to Merc when he did.
Stick him a currant Renault and he would be useless!
