Stu Faulkner Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 quite funny tonight It was nice to see it again and a bit sad the way they just said goodbye and there wasn't any end credit music. You had to laugh at JC saying he hated Top gear. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Colonial Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Apparently it's name is Jeremy. It did have an understandably unfinished feel to it, and I did laugh in places, especially Hammond wing-walking. However, the very end of the second piece where JC conveniently managed to get his Frontera cut neatly in two while in a stream, and Hammond's speech in front of an absolutely silent group of guests (come on - not one single laugh or murmur at the state he was in), did remind me of how contrived TG had become at times. Great photography, great production values, excellent presenters, but the format had lost its edge - it has been trying too hard ever since the India special, which coincidentally was just after JC broke up with his wife. The king is dead - long live the new king (in due course). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff oakley Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 I enjoyed it, there were some laugh out loud moments for me, but without the audience in the links it felt like it was, a wake! All the challengers are contrived, turning up at the Japfest with classic cars, buying unreliable ones that gave a laugh at the stereo typical anorak type, would anyone believe it really? Maybe I am old fashioned, if something worked, contrived or not, what change it? Is it change for changes sake? From an audience prespective the viewing figures were the highest for any BBC2 programme and ISTR for any none sporting programme as well on any of their formats. I hope Chris Evans makes something worth watching as there are too many reality, house, marriage, gypsy wedding type rubbish already, but I do hope the three amigos make a new show that pulls in the audiences in huge numbers that really shows what the BBC have lost. If they had wanted to they could have worked this all out, but that is going over old ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dombanks Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 had to laugh at the frontera... the ex^2 had one to tow her nag and it was great. all be it the LWB with a decent engine not the girly sport one.... chunky off road looks but drove like a big slow car. .... many a happy moment in that car running snowmen over and trying to push big balls of ice! you could get the back end to step out wildly still dont get why any of them didnt fit knobbly tyres.... that was the 90's off roader look.

M444TTB Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Enjoyed the first film. Bored by the second. Both the usual contrived TG stuff but it's what you'd expect. I expect the old cast will reappear on Netflix as they'll offer them big bucks in the hope it brings a lot of new subscribers to the service.
