Just read the report about the 3 Amigo's new programme. ---sounds fantastic.  Clarkson, May and Hammond looks like they have a definite winner on their hands.

 

Cheers .....K

    As a new subscriber to Amazon Prime, I am certainly looking forward to it Laughing

    If it's, as reported, even better than when the 3 Amigos were on BBC it will be a very watchable show.   Cool

    The BBC will be just a bit miffed, I suspect. Laughing

    I don't have Amazon Prime, but I see they have reduced the first year subscription by £20 if you sign up by tomorrow if anyone is interested.

    Just tried watching it......after they finished taking the mick out of the BBC (rightly so) it all looked good.

    Then the sound stopped syncing with the pictures.......then the sound started to break up.

    I assume it might be due to the numbers downloading it and I hope it gets better.......had to give up after half an hour. Sad

    Just watched the rest of it, this time without the syncing problems.

    Pretty good and about a million times better than the Evans effort.

    I presume Clarkson is in it, so I will give it a miss.

    Watched it last night.  Ok but to me the format is getting stale, like it was the last couple of top gear series.  There is only so many times I can watch 3 middle aged blokes drive arround in circles doing staged stunts without it appearing jaded.

    Just watched a recent interview with JC. He said the problems at the BBC came during a time when he was in a dark place and particularly stressed. Doesn't make it right and a shame others around him suffered.  Has he appologised?

    The BBC had a good thing going with the 3 Amigos and Top Gear.  It was successful and sold to different countries making around £40 million since it started, for the BBC.  What people liked was the cameraderie among the 3 guys, and the not so PC attitude
    of the hosts. ------Then  strict PC came along and that was that. ---- The Guys went elsewhere.

    I hope they do well with Amazon. They have a winning formula.

    The BBC - well they have failed miserably to come up with an alternative Top Gear.  

    Cheers............K

    Agree. First half was about cars and was ok, second half was just nonsense. Oh dear Sad

    Good news the third episode, is better than the second.  This isn't saying much.
