The Grand Tour

[rodenal]

I found myself completely nonplussed about this one - nice scenery but otherwise I pretty much shut off to it about 20 mins in

 

[Jez]

Really enjoyed this last one, good special although i wish that they had spent another 10mins airing the town and actually had that drink!

Cracking episode. Aren't they planning to do more of that next season...just all specials? Can't wait.

Been kind of amusing if they'd had Jeremy and James finally find a pub then Richard sneaked off to get his turn to drive John and crash off camera.

Tried to watch it twice, never made it to the end

Not really feeling this special... all seemed a bit samey which was a shame.

 

[SupraWez]

I enjoyed it, some funny moments.

Although they did say no manual and then noticed May doing something with a thick ringed bound document, looked like a manual

Finally all caught up, a few decent episodes all around. Just finished the Mongolia special, beautiful country and an interesting car - not that I can find out much about what it was!

The bit where the water shot up and soaked them actually had me laughing out loud. So many laughs in this episode.

There was an interesting couple of tweets from Clarkson over the weekend.

His original tweet said - 'I'm glad so many people liked our Mongolia show. But I'm more proud of next week's Grand Tour. I put my heart and soul into writing that one.'

And then in reply to a question about it all being improv and ad-lib - 'Mongolia wasn't written. Next week's is very very different and profoundly sad.'

And then another reply to a comment about him saying similar about the Mongolia special - 'Mongolia was a good special. Next week is something much harder to get right. You'll see.'

I'm very intrigued to see what it's going to be.

Its their final episode in a studio/tent, where their families are in attendance. So I'm guessing they'll be doing a 'greatest hits collection' looking back at their time together.

 

[AndyCr15]

I'd be surprised. For one, it's not like they're breaking up and secondly I would think that would be really funny, not profoundly sad? Maybe one of them is leaving? Do we know for sure all 3 are doing next season?

 

[hughtrimble]

Do we know for sure all 3 are doing next season?

Now that would be a bombshell

Now that would be a bombshell

And with that one back to the tent

Spoiler

Think this is the ford one isn't it? Filmed in lincoln... about how the medium sized ford saloon has died after a long number of years and ownership by their parents etc

And I think the emotionalness is because it's the first time they're moving away from being filmed infront of a live audience - don't forget they've been doing this in a studio for what, 18 years?

 

[Malevolence]

Isn't it a goodbye to one of the very few cars that all three of them agree on liking?

 

[hughtrimble]

And with that one back to the tent

Hey, that's my line!




Look at us. Quoting Clarkson, Hammond and May in conversation. I wonder if anyone does that with the new lot?

Do they even have a catchphrase?

 

[Flibster]

Do they even have a catchphrase?

They've got to have at least one, I'll have a think. I mean, how hard can it be?

 

[Clarkson]

So next season, does that mean one of them isn’t coming on then?
