It's not as good as Top Gear. I was looking forward to it but the constant clowning is getting annoying.

It's also strangely familiar, isn't it?

Also, the tent, the shuffling around, the whole layout just seems low-rent compared to Top Gear.

I still like it, but it is predictable.

My wife has an amazon prime account that gets her discounts on shipping etc.
Is that all that's necessary to stream this content on a 'puter or smart TV?

Prime is also great if you want to watch out-of-date documentaries and kooky UFO conspiracies.

OOH and The Stig was a pretty big part of the show.

I miss It.

Agreed. My son and I both said we liked watching the Stig track the cars but it was mostly because there was always some goofy music playing during the drive.

That bit was so-so. I have come to realize why I like them. With their schtick, they are the modern day reincarnation of the Three Stooges.

You know, I think I nalied it down- I also miss the projects. The secret TG workshop which gave us cool things like:

-The Beige Fiat Multipla for the Elderly-



-Geoff the electric car


Those were the best.

So far season 2 is good. Personally I find the celebrity interviews boring. I fast forwarded thru it after the first episode.

The bit itself was pretty stale but the clock was great, I laughed hard. Show remains entertaining.

I don't know most of the celebs interviewed.

I like it and I find the ‘differences’ between GT and TG to be quite amusing.

Stig vs ‘The American’ - Stig never said a word, the American never shut up.
Stig vs ‘The new driver’ - Man who never showed his face, lady who shows her face.

Celebrity in a reasonably priced car vs. Well known person in an expensive Jaguar. Also times are not written in a board.

Fancy set vs. a tent.

Conversation Street vs. The News... and is a joke about Corronation Street

Either way, the videography is artwork. If you have a 4K HDR TV it is a real treat to watch.
