Starts today 😀
Will be watching it this afternoon, looking forward to seeing what changes they've made. At least there's Hammond's crash to look forwards to in Ep 1.
I know the trio polarise opinions but I would like them to succeed in making a decent show at least. Anyone else sticking with them?
The American has gone. 😀
I'm guessing a Hollywood opening episode and then a drop below daytime clown TV standards.

I hope it turns out to be as boorish , mildly racist and offensive as brings you joy ...just a joke dont be so touchy etc
Looking forward to it this afternoon. Work will close at 3 as its Christmas Party day (woooo 😕 ) but I won't be cycling home, instead I'll be streaming this with a nice cup of coffee at my desk. And then down the pub for a head start on the rest...

Hammond is Noel Edmonds

Just watched it.. James is definitely sponsored by Greggs....
He’s filled out.
Was Ok was just what you’d expect really, Junkyard will love it.
Hmm, they've made the same mistakes that Evans made on Top Gear. Stupid gravel/tarmac track and lots of yelling. They could have made a much better effort with pretty much everything really.
Really feels like they are just going through the motions, please let it improve next week 😕
Entertaining enough, I fast forward the rubbish star in a car bits anyway.
I hope the rest of the series has a touch more content per show.
Judgement will be reserved until I watch it but given how poor S1 was Im not holding my breath that they have come up with any new good ideas.
Can't be any worse than series 1
It’s more like Top Gear.
Brunette.
I just want Chris Harris to have his own show.
Me too so I don’t have to watch him, although he did get better the last series.
Chris Harris is worst Top Gear presenter ever. Dreadful. Tries far too hard.
I quite like him!
I did not like S1 of the grand tour though!

Good job we're not all the same isn't it.
I’m going to cram this in on my free months subs, and watch all of Stranger Things as well.
12 episodes in a month might be pushing it.
Plenty of time to watch em’ 😉
Hmm, not that impressed.
The Switzerland thing went on far too long and tried too hard to be funny. Good to see that electric car leave the other two for dead on the runway and the overall scenery was nice but the oh-so-hilarious japes have worn very thin.
The head-to-head star in a car thing, I just fast forwarded through and that seemed to go on far too long as well. Seems they've taken the previous Top Gear format of introducing a bit of gravel to try and liven things up a bit.
When's new Top Gear back? With Matt LeBlanc, Chris Harris and Rory Reid it seemed to have found its feet after the awful Chris Evans.

They're only 45 mins each so that's only 2 hrs a week.

Yes. In addition to his hateful habit of trying hard I also hate the likeable way Chris Harris speaks clearly and enthusiastically, with an obvious passion for the subject matter. I also find his extensive knowledge and expertise annoying and his superlative car handling abilities (due in no small part to his amateur racing career) make his opinions irritatingly valid.
He should stick to being the number one car person on the internet.

I wish he would.
I agree that Chris Harris acts a bit different on Top Gear from his usual channel output but hopefully that will tone down with time.
I think he is still by far the best car show presenter out there.
As it happens he has just reviewed another electric car. A bit more practical but still seriously quick.

Yeah true but the problem is they’re weekly episodes.
Sadly, in that video, Harris seems fixated by speed.
But it is a Tesla, so the Bed wetterz will love it.

Sounds like you are talking about an Amazon free month?
Pro tip; Stranger Things isn't on Amazon (it's on Netflix).
What's Top Gear ?
I watched Series 2 Episode 1 in two halves - bloody family commitments. That was funny.
James needs to stay away from Greggs..
Yeah, I’m trying out both formats over Xmas .. Netflix for the Stranger Things series and Amazon for TG2. Both free for a month and since I’m off, why not.
I thought it was quite striking how old (and fat) Janes and Jeremy have got. Still the same old, which I quite like, but can’t believe they’ll keep this up for much longer
I don’t think mays put on that much weight (he has a little) I honestly think it’s mainly down to the haircut
Junkyard - lazarus

Brexit entertainment basically 😛
One last money grab for the pension and then into the sunset?
I thought Clartson looked ill, his eyes in particular.
Clarkson isn't well - the docs have given him a rollocking !!

[quote= Chris Harris] Thanks Mum.
I watched it on a 4K telly. The scenery was amazing. But it did make you realise how much makeup the presenters were wearing. They looked like corpses made up for an open coffin - particularly Clarkson. There’s a man who could do with detox.
Seems to be getting worse (from a low bar). Nothing original, back to as close to Top Gear format as they can get away with, not even touring anywhere and staying in same location for studio.
Topped off by showing us that a Lamborghini (could be any other supercar) can not be used around a very tight and narrow city street and can't come with angles in the road (for what must be the tenth time)
I hated it and I haven't even watched it.
I enjoyed it
