The Conversation Street piece with Clarkson in High Heels s really a subtle touch. Still want to see those Jensens though

Personally, I would rather have heard the Aston going through some of those tunnels than that stupid Hellcat every time.

As was the banner that had their names on at the beginning of the programme - did I really see 'Jane May'...?

You're on the wrong website, surely?

I actually preferred 2 to 3, 3 was too obviously scripted and the pissed off James/noisy Hammond thing was over done and rapidly became boringly predictable. I went away to do something else when Hammond appeared in the speedboat and only returned when they where demolishing the house, normally I would watch the whole thing but I got bored with it.

I suspect that I'm in the minority but I'd far rather hear the Hellcat than the Aston getmecoat

I didn't think the Hellcat sounded that nice?

Whilst some of the jokes got a good chuckle from the audience. There was an awful lot of canned laughter on that episode!

I'm baffled as to why people are saying "they'll get into it" though. They've been making the show in the near exact same fashion since 2004 laugh
The canned laughter is intolerable. The humour is forced and unnatural.

I can't imagine where all the budget has gone, they've just produced a much more expensive version of top gear which isn't actually as good in any way, they've got all this tallent and budget and all they can come up with is a knock off from an already tired old show. It's just rubbish.
What I don't get is why so many people wanted to hate the new Top Gear, but they now make excuses for the Grand Tour.The first week of the new Top Gear and people were making a huge deal about the canned laughter and the studio sound turned up too high.The Grand Tour do it even more noticeably and few people even noticed or have taken any offence.

The papers made a big issue of it on Top Gear and it was repeated a million times as a big negative. The same papers tell us The Grand Tour is amazing and people are repeating that.

Because new tg was monumentally Shiite whereas tgt is watchable, occasionally funny and beautifully filmed.

A bit slower but it was the best episode so far.

Another example of a 'subtle touch' (see above).

Nice watch Jeremy is wearing in this episode. Looks like an IWC Top Gun.

Not too impressed with it so far, I completely agree with the comment earlier about it being too scripted. Yes Top Gear went downhill over the past few series but this is worse, I'd much prefer it if they went back to basics as in Top Gear around 2006. Yes it was scripted to some degree but they could be themselves too.
It's missing this: https://youtu.be/3P8lHjFir7k

Had high hopes for this week's episode, but it was all very meh for me. Hammond's hooliganism really annoyed me in the main feature, scripted or not

TGT is good, but not great. The trio have become like a tribute act of themselves. The canned laughter is mildly irritating.
