3 was better than 2 which was worse than 1.
Overall 3 was probably better than 1 except for the opening segment in 1 which almost made me weep........ :oops:

I was laughing too, especially at Hammonds antics.

Just watched Ep 3 and also had a good laugh especially with the we hate Hammond section. They have also got rid of the pathetic old sillies, and we now have ones like the Gondola.

6.5 mpg for the Yankmobile, can that be true?

ps:- whose house did they destroy?

Just watched TWT ep2 despite it being rubbished and really enjoyed it. Good cars to start with, SAS sketch silly but entertaining and well done, millions spent, JC getting buggered, James and the Renault, Queenie though they should have used the real double, and the Platoon shoot. Why was it deemed so bad?

It really was Clarkson's house.

He bought a ramshackle old farmhouse with planning permission to demolish and rebuild. Written into TGT series as a sketch.

NIMBY's moaned, obviously.

No comment on Ep.4?

actually though it was OK, they seem to have found their feet again, back to what they are best at.

Nope didn't rate 4 I'm afraid. Cocking about with the enviro cars wasn't as funny as their usual cocking about. Did like the 911 / M4 thing but it was a bit short.

Brain crash is nonsense.
