I really enjoyed it, perhaps my sense of humour is regressing, or perhaps it’s ‘cause I watched it after getting home from the Cheshire Area Christmas curry!
On the basis that Celebrity Brain what ever it was called has been dropped now and that the American segment has also gone - though we don’t yet know what will replace the latter, I’d say an improvement over Series One.
I always quite enjoyed the concept of the interview/Guest driving segment in the old TG, while it’s true, with the wrong guest it could be dire, with the right ones, there were some really great interview segments over the years. - Clarkson did learn how to do a good guest interview over the years TG 2.0 ran, provided it was someone he had chemistry with. So I’m prepared to sit back and see how the new guest segment fairs over the course of the series.
The thing for me personally with TGT, and the old TG before it, I don’t watch it for car reviews as such, though it’s interesting to drool over the latest hypercars or whatever, I watch it for the inspiration to do daft things like road trips to Le Mans to go camping with a couple of mates, in our Westfields.
