i love this show a great mix of fast cars and good reviews the presenters work really well together and the combination of Chris Harris and Matt le blanc is great i also like Rory Reid's presenting Style .. it will be interesting to see the direction the show goes in When Matt leaves and Paddy Mcguinness and Freddie Flintoff join the Show next Season ... and as a fan of both Top Gear and The Grand Tour I think there is space for two car shows on tv..

Love this show untill the original trio left. New lot, I like Rory and I like Matt. But I don't like Chris Harris, he is too much of a selfish big headed arse for my liking. If they got rid of him and put Sabina in his place, kept the old studio and gave Rory more of a slack on his leash, I would like this show ALMOST as much as the grand tour.

The 'watch it on iplayer' crazies are out in force it seems. One, Iplayer is blocked to non-uk ip addresses, and two it is a catch-up service. It's great the BBC produce shows that they can market and profit from globally, it keeps a lid on the licence fee for us brits. Stop moaning, and don't buy it if you're that bothered.
