The Grand Tour

[Dermot O'Logical]

Excellent, I can't wait!

Looking forward to some attention-seeking cocktrumpet telling us that he won't be watching it, and even if he did, he wouldn't enjoy it.

Looks good, I'm sure there will be people who will come a long and moan about it, probably moaned about the last one. Said they wouldn't watch this then moan anyway.

Yep, probably about 50 forum pages worth.

Lets hope the trailer is not all the good bits, but looks miles better than the last one

When you say this do you not realise, it's as tedious repetitive and pointless as the thing you're 'predicting' will happen?

We know it's going to happen. Being superior and getting uppity at others for habitually moaning is just habitual moaning. Nobody learns anything, so it's just more noise that everyone has to wade through.

The Grand Tour has been 50/50 for me. Some of it has been utterly dreadful and some of it has been really good.

This one looks like it could be a lot of fun, and I hope one of the good ones.

I'll watch all of them, in the hope of each one being a good one, but I don't think it is unreasonable to watch something and then say "Well that was awful" if you think it was awful, especially since we all know they can do much better. Many episodes of Top Gear and the TG Specials were some of the best TV ever made anywhere in the world.

As a serial French car owner I am in!

You mean like everyone moaning about Top Gear every week?

I strongly suspect that is all the good bits. But I'll still watch it

Looks like there's plenty of cars so hopefully that means lots of content, since the last instalment felt like it was spread a little thin. As a French car fancier I am tentatively excited.

It's French cars - they don't last long enough to fill a whole episode, so they had to make lots of shorter segments with different cars to fill the time.

It's true. First there are the people who main about the show itself. Then there are the people who moan about the moaners. Now here we are moaning about the people who moan about the moaners.

Whoah cool! 17th december!

Excellent, the day before Amazon are due to send me a reminder to cancel Prime.

Where's that A team meme about loving it when a plan comes together...

[BadOrangePete]

Love silly old French cars and French hot hatches so looking forward to this, looks promising!

[Driver101]

I hope it's better than the last few.

I can already see the comments about needlessly smashing up cars coming.

Trailer looks naff. Usual Hammond guffaws, dropping cars from the sky, blowing cars up. Add in slagging of a race of people and you’ve hit Top Gear bingo.

It’ll be rubbish.

I was hoping for a panel based discussion on the merits, or otherwise, of hydrogen fueled, cross continental freight.

Gutted.

Just like your post too, you mean?

Somebody has to call it out. And I don't post the same thing, day after day, week after week.
