The Grand Tour

[BananaDunka]

It's just unfiltered entertainment tbh, and that's all great

I did like the Eye of Africa segment though and some history about the central library. The eye is something I've read and watched a lot about as it's a rather strong interest. Suspected to once be a large city (Atlantis? Maybe...) but washed away when a great flood happened which there is evidence of not only from satellite imagery as you can see the water direction and erosion, but also on the ground in the layering.

I have missed these three together. More please

Enjoyed this special more than the recent smaller ones they've done, captured the old feel of the TG ones. Apart from the obvious scripted parts (minefield) the rest of it felt natural.

 

[danlightbulb]

It was alright. The snowmobile part was stupid.

 

[Jono8]

I thought it was great fun. Yes it's just formulaic scripted silliness but you know that's what to expect and you know it will be amusing.

The bit where they were commenting on all the complete horror shows of cars people were using in that city was hilarious.

 

[Stumble Bum]

The first half was good but then as always it became more and more scripted/stupid. Such a shame as it's entertaining enough without the obvious fake drama.

 

[mingeroonie]

You know what you are getting, easy familiar watching with a few laughs thrown in. Good to watch while doing something else.

 

[Raymond Lin]

It was a fun watched, I was entertained but some part felt too forced like the snowmobile crashing into the fuel truck.

Yeh, but I mean it wan intentionaly forced and they clearly built up to it/they made it clear something silly was going to make the fuel truck blow up

Likewise, it's predicitable but at the same time I found it a refreshing watch compared to all the drivel that's out there these days.Great stuff, gonna miss it when it's gone.

 

[something daft already!!]

A bit cringey in places but enjoyed overall.

 

[Sparx]

Quite enjoyed it tbh, we all know what the score with it.

 

[AndyCr15]

Yeah, it was fun. When the snowmobile initially went off, I thought was great. Whether or not that was planned, or just an accident, I can't tell?

 

[adam cool dude]

Being able to watch the Paris Dakar in its hey day or even partake would have been a truly bucket list event for me. Even more so than the 24hr of Lemans. The archive footage they used really got the goosebumps going.

My French is a little rusty but I do recognise him saying 200kmh. Truly mad. It is a shame how turgid Motorsport has gotten over the years.

Why is it that their built roads are much better than ours, there wasn't a pot hole anywhere!

Serious answer? Cold weather and freezing water underneath cracks in our roads.

Serious answer? Cold weather and freezing water underneath cracks in our roads.

That's a BS excuse.

How does Scandinavia do it? They have colder weather than us, and sometimes as hot summers. They have good roads.

Simple answer, they do it properly. And not the UK approach of do it cheap, and then redo it many many times and pay a crap load to do it. (and then spend more than it would have cost to do it properly in the first place).

Found this one a bit dull. Too much scripted rubbish. And I'm not sure how they expected driving through such a deserted place interesting. A few good moments, but a bit meh for me.

Nice to see three of them together again but I think it's run it course now, too scripted and too much pressure to make these specials bigger and better than the last. I guess its why some of the more popular YouTube motoring channels (likes of AutoAlex, Car Throttle..etc) are doing so well, even though they are a fraction of the budget they are genuinely just having a laugh doing simple things.

Oh and Mauritania, depressing how even though its so sparse every spot where the locals have been was covered in rubbish.

Yeah the amount of litter was quite jarring
