Having watch the last series of the Grand Tour, I found myself fast forwarding through large bits of it, full of the same stupid antics whenever they get on the road. Yes, it is a very tired format and frankly C, M & H are now so predictable you just know what’s coming and it no longer amuses.
I did enjoy last night’s TG, I think it was an improvement on the last couple of series, as atleast annoying Rory has gone. I’ll watch the next show, it’s entertainment along with cars, but so far it hasn’t been annoying.

Re: New Top Gear line-up ...
I watched TG yesterday on BBC2 and I actually liked it.
The part with the Ferrari and McLaren seemed to be 'squeezed in': the laps done by the Stig weren't even shown, so I asked myself why they didn't make the whole episode entirely about the Ethiopian roadtrip.
Furthermore I had a hard time understand what Paddy McGuiness was saying. Although I'm not British I usually can handle an accent, but sometimes....

I enjoyed it. First one I've watched all the way through since Clarkson, Hammond and May left. Yes you can pick holes in the content but for an hours entertainment based around cars it fits the bill for a Sunday night.
I watch all the guys mentioned before on YouTube along with many others. Far more interesting than anything offered on TV.
