jimmy boo Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Slightly surprised not to see a topic on this already. So this starts on friday on Amazon. I'd never miss Top Gear but didn't feel inclined to sign up just to watch one show. Don't know anyone with Amazon or who has joined just to watch this. BT gave me a good deal for Netflix but I hardly ever watch that. I guess i'll just have to find a torrent unless it's on Mobdro or somewhere similar? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Vojáček Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 I got Prime a few months ago and have already watched a couple of shows, and hammered the free delivery. Think I've got the 7.99 a months worth so far. Was a massive fan of Top Gear up until about 2012 or something like that where it became a bit stale. There was too much celebrity and gimmicky stuff and not enough actual car stuff. Still, I'm hopeful this'll be a lot better - especially given the budget they had and the fact they've had ages to think of new content. It certainly cannot be anywhere near as bad as that new Top Gear with Chris Evans was. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy boo Posted November 16, 2016 Author Share Posted November 16, 2016 (edited) So it now transpires that Mrs Boo's pal, who uses my BT Sport log in, has Amazon and has given me her log in details. Case solved and roll on friday. ETA.......Metro reporting it'll be available from 00.01 GMT friday.

RachelM Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Looking into the next four episodes https://www.carkeys.co.uk/news/a-sneak-peek-into-the-first-4-episodes-of-the-grand-tour?76542rh I can already tell, I'm going to absolutely love this series! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightswoodBear Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Watched about half of the first episode at lunch there. Looks like it might be really good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Prime is on offer for £59 for the year until tonight. Think me and my brother are going to go halfers on it so we can watch this. Are there enough other decent films and TV shows to make it worthwhile? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy boo Posted November 18, 2016 Author Share Posted November 18, 2016 First one was really good. Much as expected I'd say and not a great departure from their previous stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Start was cool, rest was decent. Some of it seemed even more scripted and wooden than normal though.Good to hear it's 12 episodes, thought it would only be six. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Bit squirmy the way they kept taking the pish of the Top Gear format copyright, especially the drawn out star in a car segment, and the Nascar redneck replacement for Stig. Much better than Chris Evan's effort though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
