Ric Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Still into the staging and setups though.. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/09/09/jeremy-clarkson-blows-up-his-old-home-to-make-way-for-new-cotswo/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soop Dogg Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 'Not saying it was bad at all (it is Top Gear) but I found it 15 minutes too long. This. TBH, I thought it was very nicely shot - some great images in there and some decent humour, but not a lot of substance. I have to admit I chuckled at the first 'celebrity' hitting the ground, but after that, they told the same joke twice more by 'kiling' another couple of celebs. The 'track' they put the BMW M2 on apparently consisted of trying to annoy an old lady and getting the back end out on a tight corner. Fascinating. And I still don't know anything more about the 3 'Trinity' cars than I did at the start. And why bother going to another country if you aren't going to explore motoring culture in any way whatsoever? I think they really missed a trick there. It would have been good to know what the Americans attitude is to other country's manufacturers, motorsports etc, in the same way that I'd be interested next week to know what motoring is all about in South Africa. Yes it was reasonably entertaining, but I also think it was about 15 mins too long and basically more ego tripping for the presenters. As for being a pilot, they've had how many months to put this together? It really should be up to standard from episode one. I'll likely still watch all 12 episodes though.

AndrewOW Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 I agree with you, Mr Dogg. It was superbly set, and very funny in parts, but I thought that something was missing. Surely they could use a local track in each country to test their best cars out, or have native celebrities to race each other, or something. It's still great to watch though.

Parm_93 Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Track is pretty dire. Any airfield would have done the job, and it's also not the same without a 'stig'. Apart from that, loved it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richie_k83 Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 I didnt enjoy it lol The Mad Max type of intro was good and then the track action with the Porsche etc was good, but the rest was just the same old stale format that Top Gear was suffering from. Flogged to death... I would enjoy watching the Vietnam or Botswana special again, more than i did with this, But, no doubt i will still watch the others in hopes of it picking up...

Guest betogibau Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Wasn't keen on watching but heard it was filmed at a Portimão racing track and that's 20mins drive from my house back home so gotta watch it now. [emoji28] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattP Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 I thought the first episode was good but last nights was utter dog shit it was all over the place and was repetitive the first week of celebrity killings was a bit cringe worthy but they are now continuing with that concept this week.. Just terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellis Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Episode 2. What happened? Why drag out the dead celebrity idea? The Special Forces bit was drawn out and just awful in the end. Looks like all the cash and good ideas went into episode 1 - come on guys, this was as bad as the worst day of old Top Gear. 5/10 - could do better. - - - Updated - - - Episode 2. What happened?
