    Exactly what we all wanted. But I will say that the boys are looking quite old especially Clarkson and May. Not sure they can do this past their 3 year contract.

    Great episode. I wonder if they'll air the post-bet happenings. :)

    I thought it went rather well. Although it was heavily scripted. Like the drag race, for instance.

    Well Clarkson needs to quit drinking and smoking. And hit the gym I'm sure in 90 days he will look better. May needs a haircut. That's all :)

    May even made 3 seasons of a drinking show and he got hammered on it consistently. The first two seasons were great especially the Californian wine season. Him and Oz Clarke had fantastic chemistry.

    Hammond is pretty healthy. Doubt he smokes and he cycles and runs regularly

    That show was the best! Highly recommend to anyone even if you aren't in to wine.

    James and Oz's Big Wine Adventure.

    The BBC might as well pack it in for Top Gear. The Grand Tour is the show everyone wants.

    I was in the audience for episode 3. They show the debt being paid. It obviously would make no sense to us as we hadn't seen episode 1 at the time so Jeremy explained about the 3 car shoot-out and the bet, but asked us to not reveal the results outside the tent.

    The Celebrity death thing was pretty lame

    The new track looks way too small to do any high speed testing of super cars

    The America stig / Royal Airforce bit was even more lamer

    The photography was really good but these guys are getting way too scripted. What I hated is that they tested these three amazing cars and got vastly different results -- and never explained why. Is it really that random? Disappointing.

    Is it a good show? Sure. Its still the best car show in existence. But they need to get off the "look BBC we are sticking it to you" mentality and just get on with fun with cars.

    I hope the fellas do road trips in the grand tour. Those were their best segments.

    I thought this was supposed to be a car show.

    Not for some time. Top Gear shifted more towards being an entertainment show several series ago. Which is a shame because many cool cars have come and gone that would have been neat for them to review.

    Episode 2 was pretty bad. I can't believe that they went to South Africa only to feature the Vulcan in England and the special ops thing in Jordan.
