That he did (at 0:24 in the attached vid), on the bow of the Jahre Viking (one of a few names she had during her roughly 31 year career), the largest moving man-made object ever built and the longest/heaviest self-propelled ship ever built. Fully laden, she was incapable of navigating the Suez Canal, the Panama Canal and the English Channel.
Clarkson's Farm was an excellent programme. As well as the reasons you mention, it highlighted some of the problems faced by farmers to a large audience, most of whom have never thought about farming before. Whilst undoubtedly there were some scripted moments of silliness (or perhaps more likely, discovering a problem then exaggerating it a bit, the "tractor train" when he got stuck at the bottom of a wet muddy slope springs to mind), it did seem a much more genuine programme that Top Gear or The Grand Tour.
"Strictly" has probably done more to increase the business of pubs and restaurants on a Saturday evening than any other TV show. And there have been a lot in that category including "The X-Factor", "Britain's Got Talent [or usually not]", et al.Can we put out "Strictly Come Dancing" whilst we are at it.
If you look at car reviews on YouTube you'll notice that the spend a lot of time on the interior, boot etc. since most cars drive good enough now that there is less to talk about. With EVs we are going to see platforms being shared more since they are so expensive to develop, VW and Ford have already got an agreement to share on their vans and some of Ford's future cars. If you look at some of Vauxhall, Peugeot, Citroen and Toyota's vans you'll notice its the same van 4 times.
This is about the only post in this thread I agree with about Top Gear.
The Hamster managed to crash its predecessor in a previous Top Gear - or was it a Grand Tour? Either way the current Top Gear wasn’t the first to feature a Croatian electric super car.
Grand Tour, series 2.
But if we do what will the middle class families watch on Saturday nights? LolCan we put out "Strictly Come Dancing" whilst we are at it.
The couple of series after Clarkson, Hammond and May left are not even worth discussing, and I've never seen the Evans episodes being repeated on Dave which must say something as well. The current line-up must be getting comfortable with each other as Flintoff has not told Harris to not call him Andrew for a while
I thought it had been going downhill for some time and largely stopped watching it before it finished with Clarkson as I was fed up with the three of them playing the idiots with blatantly scripted and unfunny events constantly happening. Which I thought was a shame as they could do genuinely fascinating segments on subjects that interested them and they were entertaining just doing stuff together, I wasn't too sorry when it finished and had hoped they'd go for something new and different which might be worth watching.
I don't know about that, they still did proper reviews in the Nu Skool era, remember when they showed that a Ford Fiesta could be used in a Royal Marine amphibious assault
what, boring?
what, boring?
it was. It was like Watchdog. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Times change. What was an acceptable format for the 1980's isn't one for the 2020's.
