The Grand Tour

So there was nothing to worry about after all! After the kerfuffle surrounding the end of the three presenting TG at the Beeb, I honestly thought that wherever they went nothing would be the same again in the motor show universe.

Well I am happy to report here that I was wrong, sorry let me write that again properly. I was WRONG! Yep it needed the capitals.

Amazon threw a lot of money at GT, probably 10 times the budget that TG enjoyed and today there must be some very happy execs in that organisation. The show is at once familiar and different, Richard Hammond's boyish charm (my wife is happy), James May's nerdy appeal and Jezza's sardonic take on everything - all is as it was, but there is also an excitement to GT that TG lacked, a production value that exceeds anything that has gone before as far as a magazine show is concerned.

I'm not going to go into any details, no spoilers here, but the whole show is spectacular, great cars, great music, great scenery and most importantly of all - great presenters. If you liked TG you are going to love GT!

Yeah, first season left me a bit dissapointed. The first episode in general was really good and there where signs of hope along the tour of season 1 but in the end it just felt too scripted. And it seems they heard it, just look at the episode unscripted, it seems they really took the criticsm to heart.

Second season is full of all the stuff that i loved in Top Gear. Its fun, fast, slightly ridiculous, some times scary but really really just great entertainement. Love it, keep it up!

Brilliant, simply brilliant.

Thank you for everything and thank you for always being there when life sucked. Thank you for creating this.

Thank you for the countless laughs, the unforgettable moments, and the sheer joy of watching three friends explore the world through their love of cars and adventure.

But more than that, thank you for igniting a passion for cars in me, a passion that has grown stronger with every episode. You've shown us that cars are more than just machines-they're a way of life, a connection to something bigger, and a reason to stay curious and engaged with the world. You gave us a way to escape from the dullness of everyday life and offered an alternative to being caught up in distractions that don't matter.

The Grand Tour (and Top Gear) was more than just a show. It was an experience, a companion through tough times, and a reminder of the thrill of discovery. You made us laugh, gasp, and even cry on occasion, and for that, I can't thank you enough. The end of this journey is bittersweet, but the memories you've created will stay with us forever.

Thank you, Clarkson, Hammond, and May, for everything. You've given us something truly special, and for that, we will always be grateful.

The brand was not so much the name of the previous show... The brand is this lot here making the best motoring show ever. Well done for Amazon who quickly managed to get them on board.

Without any spoilers: It is exciting, it feels familiar - yet new. Thrilling might be right word, but again - even if you sit these three around a table and let them talk about cats for an hour - they'll surely deliver.

I think what most viewers would be hoping for is a fair dose of craziness, but also exploring new heights.

I am not being objective, but yet again, who is? If you loved TG then you'll love GT....

Looking forward to seeing the trio do excitingly new challenges!

After a steady start with Seasons 1 & 2, the 3rd has really excelled in my opinion.

The features and specials are great, the humour is more natural and most of all it's great fun to watch!! The chemistry and banter between the 3 of them is much more evident in this latest instalment too.

It's worth noting that I did very much enjoy the first 2 seasons but I felt the show was still finding it's feet in terms of the format and what felt like over scripting at times.

Overall I love the show. I watched Top Gear with the 3 of them religiously and I love that The Grand Tour is here to fill the void!
