    Default The Grand Tour - (Life after Top Gear)

    There have been many teaser Videos out and interviews for the new "The Grand Tour" car show by Amazon Prime.
    Seems they are really playing the online market place well.

    Although we are still to see the first episode yet, i found this Interview with previous Top Gear producer very interesting.

    Looks like Jeremy Clarkson's outburst on a staffer, may have been a blessing in disguise.
    As there was already in-fighting at the BBC and this has taken all the shackles off and let them take the show in a new direction, instead of dieing a slow death.

    Another thing i enjoyed about the Interview below, is the Honesty and Non PC language, you can see why the show is what it is with this guy at the helm.



    Another interesting Interview with the 3 cast members

    Pretty average start. Hopefully they will improve after a few episodes but the hype sure did not live up to reality.

    The Grand Tour is what happens when you back up a dump truck full of money to Jeremy Clarkson's house and let him use it to make whatever car show he wants... except the one car show he actually wants to make, which is Top Gear.

    Bloody Hell. I thought last weeks episode was only average. This second one was bad...really bad. I can predict an early demise to this show very soon if they don't pick up soon. I spent half of the show on fast forward when they started the anti terrorist training crap.

    Yep, i lost focus, looked at the Mrs, apologised and we watched a Music Concert instead.
    Pretty sad considering the Money and Duration they have had to create something spectacular..... This coming from a Top Gear fan
