that was definitely them at their best just mucking around getting into bother. Some of it was truly hilarious and believe it or not most if not all of us do know its edited and scripted but are able to suspend belief and enjoy it.
Scrap the Tent and the car reviews just give us 6 specials .
Another one saying it's scripted. Not 'parts of it are scripted' just it's scripted'. Of course PARTS of it are scripted but certainly not all. Think about it for a minute.Scrap the Tent and the car reviews just give us 6 specials .

Or maybe just don’t overthink it, and just watch it.I don't overthink it because I'm convinced it's not all scripted.

Please, for the love of f
king god, SHUT THE fk UP!(Checks script to make sure I got my line right)
Just caught up with the last three episodes, really enjoyed them. Criticism first, weakest bit was the airport cocking about though surprised just how quick those devices went In ' the race. Abbey and the skateboarder bloke seemed to be having a real laugh, and that's what matters, surely. Re the DBS / BMW/ Bentley race versus the Renault, of course it was contrived and scripted, including the dodgy driving by Abbey, but so effing what. Let's face it, the original DV9 vs public transport to Monaco way back when was engineered / scripted, doesn't stop folks enjoying it.
Bentley for me.
LoL'd at the Italian with the Integrale, also the lap times of that and the new Stratos perhaps shows how much effort and engineering know how is put in by proper manufacturers to make really well rounded vehicles with capabilities beyond being a bit quick in a straightish line.
Last one in mongolia, enjoyed it from end to end, stunning place. What's the betting it becomes a new destination for 'adventure off roading holidays'. For the wealthy, obviously, not beards in boilersuits and wellies from Barnsley. Reckon I'd go, and that's from someone not into green laning or deliberately getting stuck in the mud malarkey either.

Indeed. Exactly what I did, and I enjoyed it a lot.
(Though I did wonder how cold/ hungry the stars would get whilst the crew had food / a heater)

king christ do you guys think about this far too much! Just enjoy it for what it is. You'll probably be a far more cheery individual
