And now his claims about an airport incident appear to be unravelling...
It is astonishing what people will ignore and accept because people like a programme or image portrayed on screen. I'm sure the publicity generated can't be bad for the programme. ![]() That link don't work btw |

I can’t be bothered to go back and find my original post, but I thought I said that no Amazon Original programme has been released on DVD in the UK. If I missed off the ‘in the UK’ bit I apologise. But I did (maybe incorrectly) assume we were talking about the possibility of The Grand Tour being released on DVD in this country - not having to import a region 1 or 4 version from the US or Australia, buy some Scandinavian release, or buy an illegal copy (as per your examples).
I do agree with you though, I suspect The Grand Tour will get a UK DVD release, and probably on BluRay or UHD too. Now confirmed – it’ll ‘go live’ at 12:01am on 18/11 (so I suspect some might be having a late night tonight). I'll be tuning at in 12:01, can't wait. Jeremy Clarkson is on the Steve Wright show this afternoon for anyone who's interested, this was his preferred interview than being on The One Show. |

I'm really looking forward to this,
It's going to blow that joke of a show they call top gear these days out the water.. |

Interesting. Not the BBFC review, but the fact that it was submitted to the BBFC. Does everything on Amazon and Netflix require a BBFC rating, as if it were getting a cinema or DVD release?
Makes sense with TGT as it basically heads ofcom off at the pass, ofcom probably won't uphold complaints about a work the bbfc approved. Interesting they're still bleeping the f word when they don't have to. |

All Netflix & Amazon original shows go though the bbfc, don't think it's legally required but they just do it to avoid controversy basically.

"No cars in week 2", apparently. I'm sure that'll delight many people on here...

No they're modifying their business structure a bit, Deadline had an article about it this morning
http://deadline.com/2016/11/amazon-s...ay-1201856175/ So essentially Amazon are launching their Prime subscription (the video on demand streaming element at least) service in 200 counties in December? That’s a HUGE roll-out in one hit, I would have expected a more staggered approach... but if they’ve for the means to do it... |

This story is running in many news outlets including The Guardian but there is no official press statement from Amazon regarding their streaming service being rolled out. The story may be confused with the announcement rolling out of their app store in 200 countries which has been reported by Amazon, tech and financial press outlets. This would be a huge commitment by Amazon, would require significant infrastructure to handle it and I'm sure it would have been reported in their last quarterly financial report only a few weeks ago.

So the news is that The Grand Tour will be available, via Amazon, in 200 countries from December. But no one knows exactly how yet?

Just signed up up for the £59 offer to watch the Grand Tour but I was quite surprised at the number of other TV shows which aren't included in Prime.

Has Amazon ever had a show launch with this high a profile before? Just wondering if their servers are going to be able to cope with the demand at midnight. (I know not everybody will be watching it then, but I get the impression that a lot will be)

Get used to it, streamed content often has that problem, network congestion and your computer's power are contributing factors.

It's been fine for me; they are sat around the table now and everything has been in sync up to now.
