I enjoyed it, well presented and great filming and the added animation was pretty cool.

Those RGB lambo's!

I have a sudden need for RGB under lighting

Id pretty much given up on TG but that episode was great, really enjoyed it.

best one for a long time

Wonder if they make Rory get a separate flight? or he has to sit in economy class?

But no actual humor, which TG now lacks :/

It doesn't need it. If you need the humour watch TGT.

IMO Top Gear stopped being funny years ago, as it became more obvious/set up. I'd rather it be semi serious than forced, badly acted comedy.

What a great episode. Enjoyed that.

Just got round to watching it, definitely the best episode yet with the new presenters.

Regarding humour, you can't really just employ a number of people and expect it to work, if I was being critical I'd say get rid of Rory and try and find someone to bounce off Matt a bit more as Chris is always going to be somewhat serious, it's why he's been so good at the stuff he's done previous to TG.

I thought there was some good humour. "It's down the bottom, no-one gives a **** anyway..."

Nice to hear The Leftovers theme tune in when they were at Daiichi!

Great episode. Best yet with the new presenters IMO. Really liked some of the cartoon bits too.

Was MLB actually driving in the Skyline racing scenes do you recon?

Must be just me found the whole program boring and uninteresting.

The only bits i didn't fast forward through were the Fukushima part, and the Porsche.

You're not alone.

Both the Skyline and RX7 windscreens were mysteriously blackened out in the chases at the end :confused:

Just felt like they were avoiding shots showing who was actually driving.

I immediately recognised it heh - Max Richter knocked it out the park with that one.

Slightly funny coincidence I watched the episode then the latest episode of Lucifer soon after which pans over the city near the start with an ad for The Leftovers.

Japan was the star in this episode. Love the country.

Captain · 13 Mar 2018 at 22:48

That last episode was better than the whole of season 1 of The Grand Tour.

Fr0dders · 14 Mar 2018 at 21:12

loved this weeks episode. The animations and cinematography were epic.

Maccy · 14 Mar 2018 at 21:36

Really enjoyed that episode, this season seems to be getting better each week.
