New Clarkson Show to be called 'The Grand Tour'

[The Black Adder]

Then top gear clearly isnt the show for you to get that info. Im confused by people over the last ten years, (not necessarily you but ive seen it so many times), that watch top gear and complain it isnt the show they want it to be. If i dont like a show i dont tend to watch it anymore.

I was just saying.. and that (in bold) is exactly what I do.

A bit like forums

If you want to know how much boot capacity the latest pile of plastic crap has then there is Fifth Gear or magazines, or on-line reviews. They cancelled the old Top Gear because no-one wanted to watch boring reviews of boring cars.

Then we had new Top Gear which hit the spot exactly until a few seasons in when people started noticing it and it became the most popular factual show in the world, and jumped the shark a bit, but not enough to ruin it.

Then the boring hypocrites saw their chance and took that away from us - but now we get The Grand Tour to replace it. It won't be about boring review of boring cars because no-one wants to watch that.

Clarkson can be amusing (eg on HIGNFY and QI). I don't think I've ever seen a whole episode of Top Gear, just snippets half-seen at my sister's house, but what I have seen doesn't make me keen to watch either the new Clarkson vehicle (see what I did there?) or the new Top Gear. But then, I'm a dullard.

Im with Brian on this... One big yawn lol

The Big Yawn? Billy Connolly?

Problem with Clarkson et al, is that the boring part in my opinion are their narrow personalities, presenting styles, same old jokes, same old cliched faux-emotion to camera. Yawn indeed.

Wheeler Dealers is much more interesting (though I'm really not into the whole money/investment aspect - want prices to drop not increase!). New Top Gear has at least a new set of presenters to get bored of slowly, but more of them so should take longer.

My fridge is frost free Barry , it looks like I'll be doing some painting instead

It's a misconception that you need to spread the paint - just open a tester pot and pour some out.

Clarkson gets right up my nose. I won't be wasting my time watching this. Some times I am glad I don't have a digi box.

Agreed.. basically too predictably Boring . How many times can one watch a Septuagenarian do the same Stupid things?
IF younger ? My apologies, but He certainly looks the part. The other two straight men are just Comedic relief or at least supposed to be.

Not seen 'Wheeler Dealers'..Likely a plausible premise as 'Museum England" is a planetary opinion of the Sceptred Isles...where.. Anything.. Old is both revered and surprisingly overvalued
Could be worth a laugh.. at least once.

It wasn't always the case. We knocked down or scrapped way too much after the War. Only recently that we came to our senses and started preserving it instead. Other cultures will catch up one day

Is there anything that is old and valued in Canada? Something from the Inuit culture perhaps?
