A touch of the old glory

Cutting directly to the chase: This is the first episode of the new series that touches on the good old days of Top Gear. There is a good amount of actual car content, there is minimal idiotic content with irrelevant humourist sketches and there is none of the latter- part-of-the-episode downturn, disappointment and boredom, that permeated most of the previous 11 episodes.

The car review part is kept interesting, has good pace and the jokes and teasing are kept to a decent level, spicing things up without overwhelming the show. Conversation between the hosts at the tent is also good this time, again, keeping things as serious and as silly as they must be.

In, very, short - this is an episode you can watch start to finish and have a good time while doing so.

Yes, eventually you did it!

Finally a nice episode until the end. Cars, cars and some gags, but enjoyable indeed. When the stupid and idiotic things are just a little bit, you can have a good episode, unfortunately the 11 previous episodes were almost all of them quite silly, childish and not funny, but better one good than nothing.

Bang for your buck

First and foremost, great automotive show! Big bumps, big wagons, big entertainment. The same chemistry, funny, sparks all around.

Now, for the other four points... Who do you think you're kidding? Are you taking the nob?

Praising the neighbors to the north in the previous episode, Italian lessons, with the three column long achievements against other countries (Scotland, for the layman, is a country part of a union, still) single word achievement was strange enough, but to keep it going in episode 1.12 is a big, loud political nod to the kingdom's ongoing struggle!

If the best automotive show in the world is trying to distort and attenuate public opinion for an political end, than I am deeply ashamed to call myself a fan of the Three Amigos!

"What can happen will happen" the famous saying goes, hopefully I'm wrong.
