2nd episode out now
BillWilberforce@reddit
It's a clip show 90 minutes each or so and about 5 minutes per episode of new material. Whilst making it clear that nobody (in particular Jeremy) wants to be there. But are by contractual obligation only.
Primary_Put_5243@reddit
The only thing
DazzaS83@reddit
Oh a clip show. I never liked clip shows. Rather than reminisce over clips, , I'd rather watch the whole eposode it was in.
FatNAngry1980@reddit
Fairly sure Andy Willman is in the old folks home in the background.
Boomingoverture@reddit
I really like it, but i wish they'd talk a bit more, offer some bts insight or something, because a lot of the clips have already been filed into those "Hammond, Clarkson and May x" videos on YouTube, so it often felt like watching one of those during the long stretches where the lads aren't talking.
Ok_Distance_4892@reddit
So basically you just want them to do a youtube podcast
Admirable_Site_8337@reddit
Great new bits setting up clips. New content of the three of them being silly is never a bad thing.
Beyond that it’s just clips from past things. To be fair…..I watch old clips on YouTube all the time, so it’s nice to see this with some original chatter.
And the sight gags on the nursing home have all been great.
CommandSuch5806@reddit
It's atleast better than the other one episode of just May and Hammond. I just played it in the background and was nice to see the 3 back together I guess but it was just reminiscing. May seemed like he didn't want to be there but I guess he's always been like they letting Clarkson and Hammond take the limelight
Beartato4772@reddit
Hammond wants to get away from his divorce, Clarkson from the full time job he stupidly gave himself.
May does exactly what the hell he wants to do all the time. I'm not surprised he's less enthusiastic.

WySLatestWit@reddit
Thats the best gag in the whole thing.
madaday@reddit
I was hoping they'd have some bloopers/extras that weren't in the normal episodes 🫠
FarPrince@reddit
Mainly clips from old episodes, but a few bloopers/extras sprinkled in. They usually talk about what the montage is about before cutting away from the old folks home, so you can pretty easily skip the clips.
pinewind108@reddit
Ammonia lodge. Ouch.
Taeles@reddit
3rd episode enroute, this thursday
reditcyclist@reddit
Yeah it's not great. They obviously don't need the cash so I assume they were contractually obliged in some way?
sl0wjim@reddit
Ditto, gave it about 10 minutes but had to turn it off. Awful.
Suitable_Candle1518@reddit
A glorified clip show i am not interested in
TheAwesomeRan@reddit
Didn't need the clips. Id have rather watched the three of them talk nonsense.
TheDragonGuyYT@reddit
Damn its not available on the us site
TheDragonGuyYT@reddit
Nvm im a dum dum lol
droopy615@reddit
3 best of episodes to get Amazon off their back. 2 released so far
ProfessionalSea6268@reddit
I hadn’t seen anything advertising this until I stumbled across it last week. Last ditch attempt by Amazon to cash in before they introduce the new hosts who may or may not be a disaster in my view.
Gob_CL@reddit
My prediction is "utter garbage"
HaydenScramble@reddit
Is this even worth it or is it a circle jerk?
Lucajames2309@reddit
I didn’t mind it tbh, but I know other people think different
Rikuddo@reddit
I would've instead loved a 3 x 20 mins episodes of them just watching those clips and doing a commentary on it.
BabyishDuck@reddit (OP)
Is it basically highlights is it?
EfficientTitle9779@reddit
Yeah it’s a best of, they even address it lol
Lucajames2309@reddit
Yeah, and occasionally it’s the 3 of them talking in an old folks home for a bit
Echo-Azure@reddit
Is it on YouTube yet?
Lucajames2309@reddit
No — why would it be, none of amazons other stuff is in yt
nikhkin@reddit
They upload more clips to the official YouTube channel than are in this clip show.
ImpracticalJerker@reddit
Yes the clips featured are available on YouTube, you just won't get the commentary from the three talking in old people's home.
Racing_Fox@reddit
TGT in general was only just bearable
Can imagine this isn’t
Klichouse@reddit
It's crap.
There will always be a band of people that will watch anything Jeremy Clarkson though so some will like
ImpracticalJerker@reddit
I don't know what you expect here man, it's a best of show and it does what it says on the tin. I don't think it's fair to say it's crap seeing as it's not trying to trick you into thinking it's a new grand tour trip, if you want to watch a grand tour best of then you will enjoy watching it, if you expect anything else then you're going to think it's crap yes but only an idiot would expect anything else.
Klichouse@reddit
A best of of a relatively short lived show. It's not like they're recapping top gear from 2005. I'm not surprised there's an audience for them idly chatting mind, perhaps I'm just not the level of super fan others here are.
ztunelover@reddit
I know, I am one of those people.
nikhkin@reddit
You're not missing out on anything you can't get by watching random clips on YouTube for free.
chrizzleon@reddit
I don’t mind these episodes. But I’d love to see them do more stuff together. Will always miss the big globe trotting specials. And I understand them getting older and not feeling up to the challenge any more. But their chemistry was always so good and just seeing them set about pretty much anything and having a laugh doing it amazing. If they filmed so low key stuff of them going about little challenges, 30 minute shows of them doing stuff in the UK, I’d watch that. Doesn’t have to massive tasks, just little imaginative trials for them to bring their unique blend of characters too.
Coenzyme-A@reddit
They're doing what they want to do now. It's becoming a bit tiring to hear fans keep asking for more.
They've left behind an incredible trove of footage to rewatch, amongst their other new pursuits. There's no need to keep needling them with the "it would be nice if they just..."
FourCats44@reddit
People seem easy to forget they've been doing it over 20 years
chrizzleon@reddit
No one’s forgetting it. It’s just an expression of loving their work. No demands, no lack of appreciation for what they have done and no lack of understanding of their desires to do what suits them now.
FourCats44@reddit
What kind of expression of love is "I want them to do more"?
chrizzleon@reddit
One of admiration and a longing for their amazing work.
That it requires explanation is quite something.
JayBird1138@reddit
Give it a few years:
ChatGPT, make me ten new episodes of Grand Tour, and include white stig.
chrizzleon@reddit
No one is needling them here, it’s just people expressing their love for what they make. There is little to no chance they will ever see this post.
FourCats44@reddit
30 minute shows to watch are still several days or weeks of script writing and filming for them.
secretmisanthropist@reddit
isn't that the home of the Thursday Murder Club?
Nigelb72@reddit
The funniest bit was when they were talking about the old man who taught Jeremy driving skills and Tiff is sat in the background reading his book 🤣
synth_fg@reddit
Or where tiff randomly replaces James on the chair during a conversation between Clarkson and Hammond
Suedewagon@reddit
The spaniel needed his nap time, age's catching up to him
Nigelb72@reddit
Ooooooh I didn't even notice that 🤣
Trittonation@reddit
Oooft look at all them add breaks. Fk amazon, I’ll be watching but not on his dime the cnt.
TawnyTeaTowel@reddit
Peak entitlement right here
alekdefuneham@reddit
Is this new content or just recaps?
Aceman1979@reddit
It’s contractual obligation. Going through the motions isn’t putting it strongly enough.
