Title: Amazon. Bless 'em
Post by: TheBoy on 18 December 2020, 18:57:06
So I watch the latest Grand Tour yesterday.  And this morning to an email from Amazon suggesting I should watch the latest Grand Tour.

Clearly the left hand really does know what the right hand is doing.

Just the second of the two this year.  Not really worth watching (and I am a MASSIVE fan of Clarkson, Hammond & May)

yeah, its the long awaited Madagascar special.  Not the best, but if you have a Prime trial and a spare 90mins you never need back...

It started with some promise, but just petered out really.

I've got a suspicion that this episode was supposed to be 60mins, and after the decision was made to release fewer episodes but have 'specials' it got dragged out to 90mins.

The three of them work best when they are 'together'.  For me, they were separated for the majority of the programme, and it didn't really work.

I watched it in 4K HDR, and it didn't have the 'wow factor' of the usually superb cinematography I've come to enjoy with TGT, which is a massive shame because even with Seamen (which was not a great storyline), the cinematography somewhat made up for it.

I think my favourite of all the GT episodes was the Mongolia one...   ...and they were all in the same car. So maybe you're onto something.

Yes TB!  Where they built the car from crates.  That is a firm favourite of mine too.

I'm glad of prime video tonight. Two hours of Strictly or two footie matches, Mrs is watching strictly upstairs.
