But I must say Chris Harris in the McLaren was great - his stuff on the net is much more like this, and it works well for him.

Big Foot was annoying - apart from the electric dirt bikes. They looked really good!

But the city car reversing was p*ss-poor IMO.

But I'll stick with it - after all there is some car content!
Agree with all of the this. :thumbsup:

Will still be watching tonight...

Last night was decent, bar a few awkward bits of acting! Tying the cars together for drifting was a stupid idea though :thumbsdown:

I hope the article that you read is more the truth. That said, surely someone else would buy them out; albeit maybe with a smaller budget.

Episode three was good, made even better by there being no Star in a car. The producers must be forum members.

I liked the jap section (apart from the drifting bit). Clever use of animations and a bit of narrative to bring what would normally be “enthusiast chat” to a wider audience. Makes me think Harris is fairly involved in the script writing.

Have to say much prefer top gear to the grand tour. Never thought I would say that, but the grand tour was crap from start to finish, except the last one where they did a special.
