Just to repeat myself: Some of the dodgy download sites had the audio from the presenters mics cut.
I'm watching through the Amazon Video app built into my TV, and not only is the sound perfect but the 4K Ultra HD picture quality is incredible. |

I watched on a streaming site and had no audio issues

Well, if you're right and people are watching for free and having the audacity to complain about the quality.... shame on them. .

FWIW I loved it and will watch it again during the week as I missed some bits due to laughing too loudly (then coughing as I was laughing so much).

I thought the first episode was terrible, posted a review saying so, and then just had the fan-boys jumping all over me. We can't all agree.

I watched it in 1080p with great sound.
All depends where you 'shop'! |

Not really a good idea to post such a silly review on here, of course people jumped all over it, you look even more stupid at this point.

No. Just read the replies he made to comments, or best not click it at all. |

http://dvd-fever.co.uk/the-grand-tou...remy-clarkson/ Although I don't think that was a good review, it needed more balance, it's just your opinion so can't argue with that and I never see the point insulting other peoples reviews/opinion as I can just judge for myself, don't know why some take it personal. The bog standard chat section was a little more in depth in the second episode. |

In fairness, re the 'missing audio' from the trio, my son has the full
legal Amazon package, and the sound on his was terrible until the next day, when they apparently corrected it! So it's not ALL down to dodgy downloads! Sometimes, it;s just down to 'variable' technology either at the transmission end, or the recieving end! |

Enjoyed it not as good as first mind, I would have liked to see more of the Doughnuts that was cool

Guess I'm in the minority, but I thought the second episode was awful.
The Special Forces item could have been great, but instead of setting out an actual challenge, they made an awfully scripted comedy sketch that had no humour at all. The celeb bit got stale after the second person was killed in the last episode, this needs to go asap. The best bit was JM going to the spinning event, but it would have been nice to have him interview the people there? I also wish they cut the faux celeb interview part as well, mildly amusing first time, needless the second time. |

Write a controversial review and then get people to click-bait you own site.

Just watched it and overall it was pretty terrible. We all know the programmes are scripted but this feels overly scripted with no natural flow
In most folks eyes CHM and can do virtually no wrong. I reckon if this had been an episode of TG, it would have been absolutley slaughtered. Early days yet still needs to find a winning format, most segments seem very drawn out |

I agree Brian, clickbait is all it is. I must admit to enjoying the GT so far. We watch it on a Sunday and it feels comfortable and just right

If episode two were to be the template for future eps, I like it. It suggests it might be more of a skit/ funny film clip show than necessarily a car show, but that's no bad thing in my book (although I did love the Vulcan; my God that was sexy
). Their talents these days aren't in car journalism as such, it's in arseing about doing outrageous million dollar skits, and they do it very well. I could even learn to love Celeb Brain Crash if they use continue to use an actor from the host country and kill them off in ways that are outrageous, but somehow typical and/ or unique to the country they're in.They just need to lose the Yank driver (or at least don't try to make him a 'character'). |

Has anyone signed up their new social network Drivetribe? I just found the website:
https://drivetribe.com/welcome It's a bit annoying that currently you can only join if you have a Facebook account (twitter logins are coming soon it says). What if someone who wants to join has neither of those? |

Second episode was much better than the first, i was howling when he kept getting shot by the sniper, they were shooting each other, and he shot the Queen in the back of the head
![]() Not keen on the guests getting killed all the time though, stupid that. |
