The Grand Tour

[Puzzled]

They could just have the driver talk about the car considering he / she is a professional they should have something to add that isn't utterly boring.

Failing that I foresee a new take on carpool karaoke

 

[Glanza]

I still don't understand why they didn't go and get an ex racing driver to become the 'track guy' plenty out there who would work well on camera and would make the segments more enjoyable than we had with the American.

Jenson Button or Mark Webber for example.

Jenson Button or Mark Webber for example.

Neither of those are funny/entertaining or would fit in with Clarkson and co. If they wanted someone to to actually talk about cars then they would be great, but they need someone that can entertain non-car enthusiasts. I agree 'The American' wasn't it though.

 

[Silly Goose On The Loose]

I wish they'd go back to the more natural banter they had on the earlier series of Top Gear.

 

[AndyCr15]

Neither of those are funny/entertaining

I disagree, I loved when he was on TG a couple of years back...

That could easily replace the American. Jensen hooning round, casually chatting with Capt Slow or something.

 

[ChrisD.]

Jenson would be great.

 

[Entai]

Would imagine to the BBC lawyers he would be classed as a celebrity so not allowed to get a drive .

 

[Dup]

Jenson would be great.

Yeah, I think his humour is well matched with those three. I can't see him being affordable as a regular though sadly.

 

[AndyCr15]

Yeah, bit of a budget show, right?

 

[Spuj]

So first 'The American' and now Celebrity Brain crash has gone as well. Looks like they are listening to the viewers!

 

[Entai]

Well Mike Skinner quit he was not axed.

And whatever replacement they have for celebrity brain crash, it will not involve celebrities driving in cars at all, (even half cars) and will not involve interviewing celebrities, as they are not allowed to have either on the show, as per agreement with the BBC, so it will only be another daft stupid idea that everyone will get bored with fast.

 

[Marvin]

Unless they aren't replacing it? Here's hoping as I thought SIARPC was usually the weakest section of TG too. We don't need celebrity everything to validate a show.

It appeals to.the masses though.

[Lashout_UK]

I laughed

Didn't get it at first, then it slowly sank in...

 

[Azza]

That was superb. Jeremy's "Jesus Christ" at the end.

 

[theone8181]

Liked it and I'm looking forward to the new series.

 

[crazy8s]

+1

Can't wait

 

[Clarkson]

I’d be happy if Mark Webber took on the job. Can certainly drive and I personally think he’s quite funny with his certain dry humour. Made me laugh a few times when presenting the F1 on C4

 

[adam cool dude]

James May has put a bit on.
