Anyone following the 'new Top Gear' The Grand Tour at Amazon ?.....
I do and i think it can't even stand in the shadow of the original. No wonder as, apart from driving cars, they are not allowed to evoke even the slightest resemblance to Top Gear. So no more Dunsfold Aerodrome race track, no more Gambon, no more Stig, no more Star in a reasonably priced car, no more The News, no more cool wall, no more etc and so on. And possibly maybe no more Challenges or Specials neither... I'll miss them the most.
Of course the other 'new' BBC Top Gear with three new presentors was bound to fail, and it did quite eloquently. Top Gear was not about cars, it was about the presentors.
Top Gear is gone forever, that much is clear. It was bound to happen sooner or later with such an unguided missile like Clarkson in the lead. The pig-headed gorilla ended it with a bang, as he was supposed to.
So what's your verdict on The Grand Tour then ?
Cheers,
Ja
