The Grand Tour Ends & Why It Should Stay Dead! On that Bombshell... (No Spoilers!)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 вер 2024
- Have you seen the final episode of The Grand Tour yet? Well, I have, and it’s brilliant - but it’s definitely the end of an era. In this video, I’ll break down why the show should stay dead, even if there’s talk of a revival.
From Top Gear to The Grand Tour, Clarkson, Hammond, and May created something iconic, and attempts to reboot their magic have always failed. I’ll explain why no one can replace them, why TV car shows might be obsolete, and how car enthusiasts like us are moving online for more authentic, personal, and engaging content. Don’t worry, no spoilers!
Plus, where does all this leave us now? And what’s next for automotive entertainment?

You should give Clarkson’s farm a go. I bet 95% of the shows fans have no interest in farming but the way it’s presented with the farm “presenting” team it’s very entertaining. Your channel is great by the way, I’m sure it’s tricky to balance a car channel in this changing time for personal transport.
Clarksons farm is a great show, I always knew farmers had it hard. But the show really drilled it home. I met a farmer recently through a friend and we discussed it. He was a big fan and happy that people were taking note with hardships they have to endure.
You are right. I grew up with the 3 guys and love them. Now my wife and son love them and love clarkson farm
Clarkson can do anything yet he made farming more interesting than farming simulators and countryfile
Clarkson summed up how i feel about electric cars in that episode
EV'S =SHIT
Me too,...I have zero interest in any EV even if I didn't know of the true reason/agenda behind the insane push for them.
Unfortunately Amazon will want to milk the concept. But this should be the end...nobody will ever do it as well as the terrible trio...top gear proved that.
EXACTLY. LOOK what happened after they left. Top Gear has never been or will ever be the success that THESE guys made it
There's a point where you age and you reach a time where you don't want to progress with the latest developments. This is the time to just let the next generation get on with it. The world moves on. I already feel like the poor old man who cannot understand how to operate the technology in new cars. My time has past by and I want to stay with what I like. Just like most old people.
I'm in my 50s and that would be all well and good with that - if that was true. I would want that. But this is an era of franchises and reboots. They threaten a new line -up fro the Grand Tour. That's not moving forward. In the UK it's not that they replaced the mass of comedy we had with a new generations - they just ended it.
Nicely said
Im not car mad, but i like watching topgear for James Jeremy and Richard. Let it now rest in peace now.
It was the 'Misadventures of Clarkson, Hammond and May'. Top Gear existed before the trio, so the fact they had made it their own meant it was a huge problem for Top Gear to continue - but there wasn't any good reason it shouldn't return. The Grand Tour was the definition of a 'Star Vehicle' - created for one purpose. Get the trio together again. It died the minute they left.
By making TG/GT a car 'entertainment' show, they got a generation of non-car people interested in cars - the enthusiasts were always there but these guys were watched by people who didn't even have cars. That's what we lose now that they have ended this.
100% agree
I wish all three luck in the future. Not that their lives haven't been blessed already. They are part of the subconscious soundtrack to my adult life. To the point where I struggle to imagine it without some of those catchphrases popping up when appropriate.
Clarkson is a damned good military historian, too.
I think they, finished the show at the right time. There is a massive cultural shift going on in the world, specially with the automotive world and clarkson stated he has no interest in EV’s.
When you spend more time thinking about how much charge you have left you know you've lost something in the joy of cars and driving.
@@david-spliso1928 Iam lucky and get the chance to drives lots of cars with career including EV’s. EV’s really lack something, I would call it a soul. There is something about man and machine working in harmony. EV’s are like driving an IPad.
@@trustinflames1022 Yea because you also literally have explosions happening under your right foot, and for a man there's something primal about that and being in control of that.
Yeah, i understand why he said that, but I do love to see him review all those EV's to to dunk on them, because we all agree that all the if not some of those EV's are a joke tbh, unoriginal and such, so I'd be happy if he does that tbh, so yeah
That's because what he said is 100%TRUE
Much as I shall miss Jeremy, James and Richard, I would advise Amazon to let the show end. As the BBC found with Top Gear it is not the programme but these three chaps that people watch. I suspect The Grand Tour with new presenters will go the same way. Also, the car market is changing and I am not sure EVs will have the same pull for many years.
This is the first video of yours i have seen, whilst informative and nice to hear an opinion i thing you missed the mark on one thing. i appreciate Clarkson has a large personality. and i love Clarkson's farm. i do not believe he is a figure head in the trio as you have hinted at. i believe the fact the trio has no figure head is what makes them so good together. the balanced nature towards a common interest is the chemistry that the spin offs are missing. 3. levelheaded. level playing field and level characters in all aspects are what makes them the panicle of all of our childhood friendship dreams.
Clarkson's columns in 'Performance Car' back in the 80's were very original, witty and well written, a bit like the 'gonzo' type journalism pioneered by Hunter S. Thompson if I remember rightly.
It was funny how you correctly made no mention of Fifth Gear.
I would say that the enormously high production, exiting and filming skills of the TG/GT crews were equally responsible, along with the ape, the hamster and the sloth, for the brilliance that was those shows.
I feel if one episode was the trio driving across Milton Keynes or escaping a locked Car Park we would have been entertained.
Don't forget they built the biggest Rocket the UK has launched in decades when they built the Reliant Robin space shuttle. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
As well amphibious cars, crossed the Chanel and reach the magnetic North Pole
That episode was amazing 😊
@@paulnewman9275 it was.
Agreed. They'll have a HUGE job starting it again. Let it Rest In Peace.
It has to die really , you couldn't attempt these challenges in an EV ....it would be so boring and the cars wouldn't survive to their first recharge.
Just like Ewan and Charley's Long Way Up on electric bikes. Bloody boring, all focused on where the next charging point was, and crawling along at 40mph hoping to make it.
Y A W N
Very well said. NO EV would be able to stand the thrashing it would inevitably be put through.
@@escapetheratracenow9883I spoke with Charley early this year at a charity event . He said it was a nightmare but as H-D part sponsored the trip they couldn't tell the whole truth. Only one thing worse than an electric car and that's an electric motorbike - useless.
@@paulnewman9275 Thanks for replying and yes, I thought that be his verdict.
Those pretend vehicles have no soul, no heart, no passion. Kinda like those who defend them and condemn ICE enthusiasts.
@@paulnewman9275 I wrote a reply thanking you for your message.
You Tube saw fit to delete it.
IF Amazon Prime DOES decide to keep this going then GOOD LUCK trying to get ANY presenters to fill their shoes. DON'T DO IT
I think of all the alternate regional versions of top gear, I enjoyed the USA one the best
Still doesn't hold a candle to the OG but it works well enough
Closest alternatives to these three presenters I have seen are mostly on UA-cam channels. Alex and the guys from his AutoAlex show are very much like the trio and get up to fun challenges, the recent being a cheap hot hatchback challenge with some rather ropey hot hatchbacks.
Grand tour should have the trio back for one more season where say, 8 groups of 3 presenters each compete to create the best episode and at the end of that season, the trio picks the group that they feel is best suited to replace them.
If you like photography, Kai and Lok, and often one other, did a pretty good replicating this format with cameras on Digital Rev. Sadly, that shop in HK ended the run if videos and has since pulled the entire back catalogue from UA-cam. The two continue individually and often in collaboration. It's a great formula. I guess these things have a life of their own.
I hope they do continue in some way
I wish it would just stick to like once a year. I genuinely wish it never stopped. I know its me clinging onto my shows that have finished. But I love them. I have very little left that i watch that isint finished. I am feeling old myself now. I am certainly nothing like the gen after me or now a days.
What's your favourite pound shop Top Gear clone? I think Car Trek was OK.
I actually like it a lot this last season. I do not know much about top gear, im not a fan at all. Its just pleasat to watch.
And back to the studio
Again, I agree with pretty much everything you said. I remember that Clarkson's column in Performance Car was the only one I didn't skip to get to the car reviews. It is interesting to hear your view that you would never be asked to be a replacement because "I'm completely the wrong demographic, and I'm the wrong colour". Why is that, when, in my view, there is clear movement towards positive discrimination. Is there a way to create a new automotive show that captures the spirit of The Grand Tour while embracing a more diverse cast and perspective?...I would say yes if asked! 😃
the key is writers passionate about cars, driving, and the industry. I love Top Gear car reviews because they cover more than just what the car is like to drive, it captures the more subtle bits about each car that I would want to know about but would never see unless I sat in one.
Can't be replaced but, Matt, tavarish, Ed and hoovie do a great job on UA-cam. John
Tavarish, Ed Bolian and Hoovie. They've done their own 'Grand Tour' series that got millions of views.
Its good but not comparable, and their chemistry is much more normal and censored unlike the three blokes. Not to mention the scale is impossible to match as they have admitted themselves in one of the car treks
@@yellowflash511 I think they would be given people and a budget so they could scale. I agree they are wildly different, but the watch time on Car Trek shows they have the broadest appeal of any group and the fact that they are different means the comparisons to CMH are not valid, so it's a clean start with a different take on entertainment. Watch the space :)
You are correct m8, No one can replace this the three man children....lol
thanks 🙏
I forgot Grand tour was still a thing.
I turned it off after 5 mn. It was boring, forced and i just couldn't get into it. Very disappointing. The final few specials already felt forced. This one was awful from the get go. They made one Special too many.
Good riddance. I never understood how Richard Hammond managed to steel an existence
Great analysis
