"The Grand Tour" is looking

Watched it last night.  Ok but to me the format is getting stale, like it was the last couple of top gear series.  There is only so many times I can watch 3 middle aged blokes drive arround in circles doing staged stunts without it appearing jaded.  

Just watched a recent interview with JC. He said the problems at the BBC came during a time when he was in a dark place and particularly stressed. Doesn't make it right and a shame others around him suffered.  Has he appologised? 

The BBC had a good thing going with the 3 Amigos and Top Gear.  It was successful and sold to different countries making around £40 million since it started, for the BBC.  What people liked was the cameraderie among the 3 guys, and the not so PC attitude of the hosts. ------Then  strict PC came along and that was that. ---- The Guys went elsewhere.

I hope they do well with Amazon. They have a winning formula.

The BBC - well they have failed miserably to come up with an alternative Top Gear.  

Cheers............K

Watched the second instalment last night. Oh dear, that's an hour of my life I'm not going to get back. 

Agree. First half was about cars and was ok, second half was just nonsense. Oh dear 

Good news the third episode, is better than the second.  This isn't saying much. 

Not watched it yet......will have to find time for it.
