In case you were wondering whether Jeremy calling JetBlue was staged (I know you weren't, but I want to prove how smart I am), May mentions that they're flying the E-190. Now, I've flown the E-190 on JetBlue, and they do not provide business class on that aircraft. In fact, they only provide business class services (referred to as Mint) on transcontinental flights and more recently their transatlantic flights. Therefore it's safe to assume that it's staged.

I disagree. Yes the whole naturally escalating thing is very intriguing, but it's also fun to see them messing about making skits and whatnot. They're 3 smart and educated men with a high budget; they could have made an actual mobile petrol pump, just won't be as entertaining as seeing them fail!

If it's your stupid joke then answer is - yes. And if it is a really question then the answer is - no, they didn't and actually they were in Croatia which is really far from Australia

Fun fact: One of the main reasons as to why the first and second season of TGT got off to a rocky start is because the BBC were being petty and basically prevented the grand tour from doing stuff that they were already doing in the name of "copyright infringement" like cheap car challenges, filming sceneries deemed too "beautiful, James' "oh cock" line, satire and even referring to themselves a car show was not allowed. It was basically done as a way for the BBC to cripple TGT out of corporate pettiness, which is why TGT did all of that operation dessert stumble stuff just to get around infringements which they quickly abandoned because it killed the program.

About the car versus helicopter part: so I happen to know of a situation where a car outran a helicopter. The car was a trackhawk and it was on the interstate, and the helicopter in question could only fly at about 120 miles an hour. The trackhawk outran the helicopter in less that 40 miles of interstate
This video is a great example of the grand tour in general. Super scripted cringy stuff like the 3 hating each other as if they really do, then also super funny genuine stuff like Jeremy downgrading them to economy and telling the airline not to serve them alcohol.
oh boy if you think an airline would really allow someone else with out a booking number to change another persons flight i have some magic beans for sale.

Does it get any better? I watched the first one last night. Used to love top gear, but I only made it about halfway through before I couldn’t stand anymore. If someone can tell me it gets better, I’ll try to watch the 2nd episode.
This is top gear just on a different(better) platform. Watch them they do get better. It’s the stupid American racing driver that’s mucks it up but he gets sacked after season one I think. Just watch them and skip the bits that annoy you.
I've always loved when the fire plane heroically extinguished May's not-on-fire truck.
The way it made it look like a crumpled beer can was surprising 😂
Well it is the Croatian fire brigade and they are known for being very incompetent just like any other of our government entities.

Even if the airplanes were no longer flyable, I can't imagine the budget for the jet engine scene.
Reckon they where just shells with cotpits on non working planes, feel like that wouldn't actually blow over a real plane
i think their budget for EACH episode is £1m .. bit more than the BBC haha

It was painfully obvious it was all fake, that crap ruins the show. They're funny without it.
