The Grand Tour. (Top Gear is dead).

Isn't it Tiff Needell?

With some chick and some former touring car driver with a personality lobotomy?

It's Tiff, Jason Plato (the touring car guy), Vicki Butler Henderson and some scraggy guy with a beard who seems to go round saying how awesome everything is.

I tried watching Fifth Gear, I just couldn't get into it. I like cars but its something to go to sleep to. Top Gear is something that when I try to sleep to it keeps me awake. Being in North America I never got to see Hammond's daytime TV show. I was wondering if any one who got to see it could tell me how it was.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

As daytime TV went it was decent enough. Nothing to write home about but it had funny moments as he went overly blokey with "gadgets".

Some of the jokes were recycled Top Gear fare though.

Racing a car against it's own petrol is genius....

KAYAK!

[stokeriño]

The car vs jet-kayak was a cool race, especially those shots near the end when they were running parallel.

Haven't been so many laughs this episode thus far. Still, good stuff.

[TheArsenal]

It was an awesome race. The car would have won if it didn't have to get to the middle of the bridge.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

I quite liked "7 litres of American friendly fire" and when he checked the Corvette's sat nav that went straight for burger places.

A question relating to last week, just who IS the Well Spoken Man?

[TheArsenal]

No-one knows. And it still says "Well Spoken Man" on the board.

I really couldn't put a name to his face.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

James Hewett - Prince Harry's real father

[stokeriño]

Ohhh.

It now amuses me when they were talking about him "looking to take a break from television" (to which Jeremy replied "No!"), when I look at wikipedia's entry on him:

James Hewitt lifted 82.5kg in the 2003 weightlifting event of Channel Four's The Games (a celebrity athletics tournament), setting a record which he held jointly with 2004 competitor Shane Lynch, until this was beaten in 2005 by Philip Olivier. He eventually came second.

In 2003, James took part in the Five reality TV show Back To Reality and eventually won it.

In 2005, he took part in the ITV wrestling competition Celebrity Wrestling.

In 2005 James appeared on Heads Up with Richard Herring to discuss his life, career and his love of poker.

It's depressing, really.

This radio thing ought to be good.

Edit: This is such a trainwreck...and I mean that in a good way.

This radio show is absolute genius.

[therockbox]

Jeremy's traffic reports are awesome.

[stokeriño]

Every week they end by scarpering while they still can. I love it.

STIG!

I like this new scarpering aspect to the show.

[Hobo]

The radio show was the best, especially when the sports guy was in and was shouting/explaining cricket at James May.

Sports News Man: It's been played in this country for 325 years!

Hammond: What the same game!?

:lmao:

[TheArsenal]

It wasn't Hammond......it was the other guy. The one who isn't Clarkson...

[stokeriño]

James May.

Yeah, I didn't know his name for ages either.
