Sun seems to have had it first 16 hours ago (01.53 this morning), so don't know if Beeb "leaked" it to them first, everyone else jumping on later?

Still got Rory stare into the camera like a lost rabbit in headlights Read in it. Never mind.
More disappointingly, it still has Chris “only I can make potentially compelling TV utterly dull” Harris in it.

The Beeb should kill it IMO. It’s way, way past it’s sell by date now

Yes, you’re right. Just because you think so they should kill it, never mind the rest of us who now think it’s better than it has been for years.

That's one of those statements that make the room go silent as everyone looks around wondering who you're talking about laugh

Looks OK. Last series was so much better than the Evans one.
Last series was watchable. I've given up on GT so can't compare.

I tend to fast forward to the car bits on the iPlayer... apart from LeBlanc, I find the other presenters too wooden as presenters and their forced sense of chemistry grates. I watch because I hope for something better!

The Grand Tour is definitely improving and it's obvious that the 3 presenters all get on and have defined, predictable characters (like any situation comedy actors might) and that makes it watchable.

It's only light entertainment ultimately. smile

Rory still looks like the little brother who the older brother and his mate are being forced to look after.

Anyone who doesn’t have Amazon Prime is crazy - on the stuff you buy all the time it pays for itself plus the Grand Tour and so many others films shows etc.

Add in Top gear wheeler dealers car sos new one about to start chasing classic cars diesel brothers gas guzzlers and shirt lifters then we are all catered for.

I rarely buy off Amazon and the Grand Tour is widely available to watch for free so no I'm not crazy 😊

Hmm I couldn’t find it anywhere other than a pay channel, Amazon Prime.

Can you direct me to this free source please, unless of course it’s an illegal site in which (case I’m happy to pay my subscription)
