Nick H. Supervisor Posted November 18, 2016 Supervisor Share Posted November 18, 2016 Quote The Grand Tour: Jeremy Clarkson's first show since Top Gear premieres The new TV series starring Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May has launched, more than 18 months after the trio exited Top Gear. The first episode of The Grand Tour was made available on the Amazon Prime streaming service on Friday morning. Source and more This bit makes me smile: Quote Currently, only fans in the UK, America, Germany and Japan are able to watch the first episode, but the company has announced it will be launching the show globally in December. I guess Amazon haven't quite figured out how online services work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching a few of their teaser videos that have been coming out and remembering why they were so good together. If you guys get the chance check out the interview on the One Show.....awkward much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FiB3R Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Thoroughly enjoyed that. Laughed out loud a few times. Seems a bit stripped down, but off to a good start. Excited to see what they've got lined up for the rest of the series. Mando 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yogurth Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Watched it yesterday, and while there is almost nothing new compared to Top Gear it was still fun to watch. Captain Slow is the king! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim K Global Moderator Posted November 19, 2016 Global Moderator Share Posted November 19, 2016 Just finished watching it. Excellent intro, nice piece on the Porsche, Ferrari and McLaren, I like the new test track ... that whole RAF vs. USAF was hilarious. Anyway ... excellent first episode. b10h4z4rd and FiB3R 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick H. Supervisor Posted November 19, 2016 Supervisor Share Posted November 19, 2016 Wow. I don't know if it was seeing the trio again, the whole "we're different...but the same" idea or what, but that was amazing! I was laughing out loud at the RAF bit, hilarious. Highly recommended by me. Bring on more! Jim K and FiB3R 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dipsylalapo Supervisor Posted November 21, 2016 Supervisor Share Posted November 21, 2016 Watched it last night and it was great. As someone said about a little stripped down but I guess that's expected for the first episode where they introduce a bunch of new things. There were some great bits in there. Looking forward to Friday now. Mando 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
