Did anyone think in the first episode when clarkson was on stage at the outdoor concert that he needed to lose about 50lb?

Best episode so far imo, really enjoyed this one 
Soldato
Only 13.7%. Hardly a majority.

Loved the 911/M4 section but thought the rest was a bit meh and utterly predictable.
Seems very hit & miss overall as a series.

It's gone a bit to cheesy don't you think?

I'm still enjoying it minus episode 2 but what I don't like (still) is the bloody American driver and the dead celebs, plus, it feels just too polished. Still a good show amongst the utter dross available to watch.

I expect they'll keep the killing celebrities gag going for a while then suddenly have one make it for an interview. It's a bit stale already though. Was funny when it was a surprise but now it's just filler.
I've often wondered how Muso comes up with these figures. For a public torrent site, i guess it's easy - you can just see how many times the torrent file has been downloaded. However that doesn't necessarily mean the person then downloaded the content. Also for private torrent sites, it's unlikely they would have access to, meaning there are likely to be millions of uncounted downloads.
Sounds like a farcical business model to me. Lets advertise to media rights holders, and then pull out a load of figures from the air informing them of potential losses.

In fairness I said the majority would come from countries with Prime, 13.7% was the UK alone - plenty of other countries are eligible for prime.
Soldato
Atleast it's short filler, rather than watching SIARPC!
200 countries/territories apparently.
First episode was pretty good, mostly actually cars being driven, which is what they're good at presenting. The trio trying (failing) to be stand up comedians was mercifully brief inbetween the good stuff.
Second episode though, urgh. One little car segment and then 40 minutes of cringe. Does it get better?

I think they'll be on the last show or those ones where we actually saw the real person.

"Looking good is more important than looking where you're going" from the trailer (not sure if the ep has shown yet I'm 2 behind) is a reused line from TG s6 e5

Sort of agree about the being too polished bit, being a bit rough around the edges and the perceived cheapness of the BBC added a layer of humour to the previous TG.
Soldato
Agreed. Never again will we have a "Due to the unique way the BBC is funded..." moment.
Tonights episode is what I would call "staple".
It had enough to keep me interested, some moments which piqued my interest and some not so great but didnt drag too long moments.
