Gordon, Gino and Fred: Road Trip

[MitchT]

Just seen these three interviewed on The Jonathan Ross Show. Judging by the clip shown and the energy between the three it's going to be very funny - something akin to one of Clarkson, Hammond & May's adventures!

[Pericoloso]

I want to watch this.

Fiery and sweary Scot ,slightly bonkers Italian and a normal French bloke ,what could possibly go wrong ?

[D_T_W]

Did they not do a similar thing together last year when they were preparing a meal for (I think, please correct me if I'm wrong) the emergency services personnel who attended the Grenfell Tower incident?

I recall them visiting places in a camper and the chemistry between them all made very funny viewing!

[Scabutz]

Yes they did a Christmas special last year. They were so funny on Jonnathon Ross. Looking forward to this

[Jonesy23]

Gordon is a , Gino is an even bigger . I have no idea what Fred is like.


So that's a no from me.

[snuffy]

I've seen the trailers and it looked like the mutual dick slapping society. So I think I can happy miss that.

[BossHogg]

Been quite entertaining so far.

[Cupramax]

Watched 5 minutes, had to turn it off. About as entertaining as watching paint dry

[jules_s]

I think my TV's swearometer is overworking here

[oddball1313]

Ramsey proving just what an ahole he really is - he’s really got a face for radio these days as well. Gino not coming across much better either

[CC07 PEU]

It had the potential to be interesting but it seems like they're trying too hard to make it into some sort of culinary Top Gear. It's very staged and has the same level of annoyance as Richard Hammond in Top Gear itself.

Also loving it.

Guess it depends if you wanted a serious cookery show, or some light comedy/entertainment on a Thursday night.

The latter for me, and it's provided so far.. Laughs seem genuine, much like the earlier top gear.

Yep, very funny

[MitchT]

Enjoyed it. Road trip, food, scenery and funny. Must watch it again online so I can try to work out how they do their Pizza dough at the place in Naples.

Wife and I really enjoyed it.

I always thought Gino was kind of 'faking it' as it were on TV, but you can now tell from that, even though some is staged, that he's a complete bellend (in a good way) all the time lol!

Fred's quite reserved clearly but it's funny as he doesn't quite know what to do.

Ignoring whether you like the three guys for a second, the scenery was stunning, there were some interesting elements on making buffalo mozzarella fishing unsuccessfully for octopii and the lemons (the lemon pizza was a great idea to be fair).

Grown men having fun will always be marmite. I didn't really ever like Top Gear, but can see why it would appeal.

Each to their own, but I liked this.

Found it quite amusing - better than a lot of the current crop of 'comedians' such as Miranda et al.

[andburg]

loved it, spent the whole show laughing and we're off to Naples in January so was good to get a pizza place to visit down on the list!

[anonymous-user]

I liked it. Definitely see the early Top Gear similarities too.
