New hosts will be Paddy McGuiness and Freddie Flintoff. 

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

Jaysus, they really are scraping the barrel now. 
Its well past time to put it out of its misery.

[Doctor Gollum]

If you thought Chris Evans was bad...

One less thing to never get around to watching.

[Varche]

hmm had to google Paddy. I hope he has a different mode available to the only one I have seen with Peter Kay.

[zirk]

Gave up on TG a few years back, they can do what ever they want with now as far as Im concerned.   

[Doctor Gollum]

hmm had to google Paddy. I hope he has a different mode available to the only one I have seen with Peter Kay.

Nope...

Neither are bad people, but it really isn't the best platform for either.

Edd China would have been a much better choice imho... So perhaps they should bring back Clarkson, May and Hammond

Incidentally, Fifth Fear still seems to work inspite of a brief hiatus.

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

It could never work without those three. Having said that even with them, it was obvious in the last couple of years that the concept had run out of steam.

The Grand Tour was just a continuation of the already tired Top Gear format ..... same old .... same old 

[Sir Tigger KC]

Are they still making The Grand Tour?   

I only watched that a couple of times.....

[Andy B]

Are they still making The Grand Tour?   

No idea 

I only watched that a couple of times.....

Likewise .... I tried, but failed to muster enough enthusiasm

Never without a Greggs pastie in his gob, apparently.

[Kevin Wood]

Top what?

Oh, hang on.. I remember..

[Keith ABS]

 New series of Grand Tour starting soon, for those who subscribe

I think Mrs. KW does, but I'm probably going to be washing my hair or something.

I'm of the opinion that it had pretty much run its course with the original cast, so may as well put it out of its misery, in all its incarnations.

I watched it by using Terrarium tv cast from my phone ..... quite technical for me 

[TheBoy]

Of the 30 or so episodes of Grand Tour probably about half a dozen have been worth the watch.

Cant see Amazon extending it beyond the initial 3 series without massively trimming costs...

[tunnie]

It’s already been canned.

Season 3 is the last.

I thought that rumour (from earlier this year) had been suggested to be incorrect?

Only in America ..... we still have series in Blighty and always will

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

Agreed. 

[tunnie]

Seasons is geneally used in longer running programs 20+ episodes, series would tend to be used in shorter sub 15 episodes. But most stuff runs longer, hence everything is refered to as seasons for us.

Given that a show will air a new seasons once a year, it’s a more accurate term.

Series is only ever seen from my side on old BBC content, which we don’t have on mobile apps for NOW TV.

Like the Omega, Series term is dying.

Too many US terms & telly series over here already.

It bugs me too when they give the date in US format ..... we put the number first then the month

Ah yes, that I draw the line on. But if you notice many US programs are always longer than UK.

Look at the Bodyguard on BBC, cracking bit of TV but only 6 episodes.

All the stuff from across the pond is nearly always 20/25 ep's and on a yearly cycle.

But then again my view is warped, as I refer to live tv as linear.

A British series of 6 episodes tends to be well paced with little padding.


An American series of over 20 episodes contains about the same amount of watchable material if you can force yourself to watch all of them. After a couple of series the story arcs get so preposterous that they become utterly unwatchable.

Don't forget, Tunnie, some folks here still pine for the days when the only source of moving news pictures were the Pathé News reels shown before one of their new-fangled talkies down at the picture house

Nothing to do with that. This is an English speaking forum .... not American 

[2boxerdogs]

The rubbish on TV at present I find the only things worth watching & I enjoy are the motoring programmes including Top Gear.

[annihilator]

Pity they have both made use of the services of "Mr Loophole" whilst us mere mortal car enthusiasts just have suck it up.

That could well be related to the fact its running American software, running on American servers situated in an American Datacenter (SIC), set with an American timezone and American locales.
