I am quite a new viewer of Top Gear (started with series 19) and want to catch up with what I missed. I have started getting the series DVDs, I've got 10,11,13,14 and they were all about £9 each, but I want season 12 and at the same place I got the others it's £26. Why is this season so much more expensive than the others?
Quite surprised that nearly 2hrs after this was published no one had posted about it, but MLB has been confirmed for 2 more series along side Rory & Chris with Sabine & Eddie making occasional appearances too. Maybe it's a sign of how much people are still interested in Top Gear! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-37470962
MLB as main host should work out well. In the last series he was good in most of the filmed inserts but looked increasingly uncomfortable in the studio besides CE. With CE gone hopefully he will relax a bit. The other Chris and Rory deserve a bigger role in the main show I think so it remains to be seen how they interact with Matt. I wish them luck!
Haven't decided yet whether to fork out for Amazon Prime so I can watch GT - hopefully it will turn up on a regular tv channel eventually, Dave maybe?

Wait for all episodes to air, then take up the month free trial!

You can pay for Prime monthly now can't you? Personally, I find it good value because I order a lot from Amazon (tempting with free delivery!) and now watch an awful lot of TV on Amazon too.

I think this will be fine. We saw a taster of it in the last episode of Extra Gear which had Matt, Chris, Rory and Sabine chatting away together, laughing and joking very naturally. There seemed to be some chemistry and the banter came across as genuine.
They're bound to feel that much more comfortable in each other's company anyway with the first series under their belts. No doubt the producers will have seen the camaraderie developing and removing Mr Evans' ego from the equation will clearly help matters given everything that's been said in the wake of series 1.
Does anyone else think that, with hindsight, that the BBC should have just sold the TG rights to CMH/Amazon? It seems to me that they basically are the show; it's about three bickering, immature friends who indulge in their car fantasies.
Tempted to say that line up may have a chance of working.
Put it this way... I didn't think it looked terrible. Worth a watch of episode 1. I'm much more open to this series than I was the last one.
Evans was such an overpowering presence that it made it almost impossible for many people to watch the first rebooted series. Hopefully the new line-up will be a bit more laid back, wry and low key. It might work a bit better. I'll certainly give the first few episodes a go.
If it's just going to focus on those three, then it has a chance, but it depends whether they make the challenges and road trips worthwhile, and whether they have addressed the issues with the over-long SIARC segment.
It will be worth watching the first few episodes to see how much of the criticism of the first series they have taken on board.
Oh that looks good so far I am really looking forward to this now Evans isn't in it.
While I have enjoyed some of TGT, its just been too OTT in many places, and not being able to watch it with my son was disappointing, TG had been something we had all watched as a family. TGT just went overboard with the adult content IMO.

I agree that The Grand Tour was a little more smutty than Top Gear - but I didn't feel it was that bad. How old's your son?
I'm sooo happy that they got rid of Chris Evans and that the producers listened to veiws and promoted Rory and Chris to the front. 5 minuets in and this much better.

Fingers crossed.

Should fill the void with Grand tour is off the screens.
