Good light entertainment.....it isn’t (and hasn't been for a long time now) a car show....

“Self depracation” and “tongue in cheek” are the phrases that should be remembered when watching TGT....😊

We watch it as a family with my car mad son but also mildly car nuts wife and daughter. All enjoy the show and have a few hearty laughs.

One of our best days out was going to the Clarkson Hammond and May live show a few years ago. Expensive day out but sitting 6 or 8 feet away from the stars was well worth it.

I saw the first three episodes of S1 and gave up. It was truly cringeworthy. Didn't watch any of S2 and before I'd never have missed a TG.

To clarify... the boots were not for Mrs Hammond.

I thought the episode was interesting as it appeared to have a fairly negative slant on all prestige mid sized SUVs. Not practical, not really off roaders and not really sports cars either.

But isn’t that the lot of all things that cross categories - and the whole point of these cars: that they tick most of the boxes

If someone’s looking for an off-reader then buy a Defender - but don’t expect it to be comfortable
If someone is looking for for a sports car - then buy a 2 seater etc

It’s the 3 amigos being their usual selves - not really objective, not sensible and not truly relevant.

I thought they were relevant, if you own a dog. I also hadn't spotted that a tow bar wasn't possible with the Alpha...and I have to agree black destroyed the styling of the Velar.
