I thought, The towing speed boats feature on GT was hilarious, but maybe that’s just because it brings back memories of my youth, I towed stuff quite a lot then and I’m afraid to say, I wasn’t always very careful.

TG, I like Joey and Chris and the cars are usually interesting. Downsides, Rory is obviously there to appeal to Radio 1 listeners and Sabine is like a fish out of water.

I’ll still watch both, anything’s better than cakes and dancing!

Love TG and TGT.

Rory is definitely the weakest link though. Tried to like him but he just doesn't fit imho. It'd be better with just Harris and Joey.. and maybe random 3rd presenters or Sabine etc.

Agree with that. A Harris and LeBlanc duo would work just fine. I don’t mind Rory but he’s a bit unnecessary. It feels like they decided they needed three because that’s what went before.

TG & Extra G are a good combo. Marino was good on EG tonight.

Is there a 12th episode? I thought it was finished.

I just noticed that there's Grand Prix Driver on Amazon - "GRAND PRIX Driver goes inside the secretive world of Formula 1 by offering never-before-granted access to the inner workings of McLaren. After three tough years, McLaren is hopeful that this is the year the team will be back on the podium, and they have promoted rookie driver Stoffel Vandoorne alongside two-time world champion Fernando Alonso to work towards this goal." Anyone seen this?

I noticed that too Gary.

Has anyone watched the Le Mans series on Amazon?

Grand Tour has now finished. Series 1 had 13 episodes and Series 2 had 11.

Another interesting series was Goblin Works Garage. Their 1st series has stopped but probably available on Quest catchup. Very much of a Wheeler Dealers/Fast & Loud ilk.

Some good customisations on the show, favourite was definitely the different route they took with the Land Rover Defender.

Grand Prix Driver on Amazon was excellent. Le Mans not so much.

Lee Mack, 1.55, 20 secs behind Chris Hoys 1.35, does not seem possible.

Probably the best episode of the new line up Top Gear, I didn't watch the star in a car bit and anything with Rory but the rest was very good. Quite impressed with the driving skills of LeBlanc and Harris.
