Pretty rubbish if you ask me.

Contrast the inherent top drawer content and humour of Grand Tour and I think it fails...dismally...

BBC best spend their money elsewhere....

TNBA

TTF

Well that's a turnaround, because for the last two series TG has been far superior to TGT.

I've watched the first few episodes of the latest series of TGT and they've been *fine*, but not particularly compelling (except the piece about Jim Clark, which was very good).

Both are far too scripted and predictable these days.

Utter Shyte, but I watched because they raced up a mountain.

I, and a few school friends cycled for ten days round Norway in '86 ( I had my 15th birthday there) and we cycled from Andalsnes up and over Trollstigen en route one day. Stunning, even on tv

I quite liked it and think the connection and humour between Leblanc and Harris is good.

Regardless of who presents TG just feels like its had its day, tired format

Agree, I felt like TG missed a trick when Clarkson et al left. Perfect opportunity to try a new format and a few new ideas, instead they just rehashed the old concept.

I stopped watching Top Gear years ago. FAR too scripted for my liking.

A race between public transport and a car to somewhere in Europe from the UK, and someone arrives to the destination 3 seconds before the others? Please.

I stopped watching TG a few episodes in with Chris Evans and Joey from Friends were hosting, very dull.

TGT has been hit and miss, imo. Some great episodes (mainly the 'specials'), and some bland ones.

Both are right off my radar, never watched the Tour thing and Top Gear was always turned over in my house.
