The trios era on Top Gear was far far better that the Grand Tour. It's an entertaining show of course but at the same time I think the money has spoilt them. They had to be creative to make the BBC budget work, the Amazon money just lets them do what they want.

[@jazzygeofferz]

I think it's more that they had to work within the BBC's standards as well, so they tried to be a close to the knuckle as they could in terms of how appropriate for the timeslot they had to be. On Amazon they didn't have the same restrictions, so sometimes they'd veer off into indulgent bits.

[@voteDC]

@@jazzygeofferz I would absolutely agree with that. It's a small tangent but I always found Frankie Boyle far funnier on Mock the Week than in his own stand-up shows at the time because as you mention there were certain things that couldn't be broadcast.

[@Mypenisissmallbut]

They spent 20 years on Top Gear figuring out what works… just for it to be thrown away and have to make the same thing that works but slightly different and the biggest change is more scripting and the lack of stig jokes. The scripting really ruins it for me.

[@PlanetoftheDeaf]

And they have been doing it together for a LONG time. Even before they left Top Gear, there was an element of them repeating themselves, nothing lasts forever

[@masonturingan1250]

0:24 more like there crushed inside a porsche in argentina

[@limapalon]

Sad, and the UK government endorsed that.

[@DittoGTI]

Wait they crushed the 928?

[@masonturingan1250]

@@DittoGTI according to reports afew years after the calamity the government had the cars crushed, after numerous attempts for them to be stolen. Doubtful, we'll ever know the real truth thou

I absolutely love that stare Richard gives to the camera after saying he's "never" heard of the Allman Brothers.

They will be the best car show presenter. Love them

[@Johnny_Blaze3]

I got so sad when they started reminiscing about their old memories!😢 but don’t frown cause it’s over smile cause it happened!

So true. And we got to see it happen in our time. 👍

[@ellanieduce]

I grew up watching top gear, probably from a way way to early age and I absolutely love the grand tour now, i can’t imagine them not being apart of my life.

[@sebastiang.480]

Do a Jeremy Clarkson Cheshire reference video

[@Mustang150y]

You wizard, I'm the making of it

[@muddystick]

The part I enjoyed was Jeremy dropping the "big dumb oaf" act when he lovingly mentioned Oliver.

[@mycroftsanchez901]

Anyone else think these short clips are 1,000 times better than the entire 'new' Top Gear series since these three left?

[@theidiot1424]

“Top something or other” left me dead 💀

[@fionathomson4436]

These three were brilliant together

[@Peyton.Lowrie]

You missed the beach buggy one when the went to that one village and saw a broken toyota pickup and jeremy said "Never thought I see that"

[@maxwellpeter5955]

Oh yeah, the indestructable toyota episode

[@JustGohan04]

3:44 And it took me 4 years to find that episode

[@DittoGTI]

Which one

[@JustGohan04]

​@@DittoGTI the one where jeremy & richard got stranded

[@chriso1373]

I still cant watch the last few minutes of the last episode since it aired. The pain in Jeremy's voice when he says its over is one of the most crushing things ive ever heard. Im enjoying all the specials, and while im sure theyll finally retire soon-ish, i hope its on a much happier note than that gut wrenching scene....

[@hukama6911]

1:48 I mean really though, how hard can it be?

[@AeternaNox01]

That is rather ambitious but rubbish question to be honest.

[@GCAT01Living]

I love how they made fun of Hammond for naming Oliver and now that's how they refer to his car.

[@williamg209two]

Aw that last studio episode is so sad

[@pacificostudios]

The Bolivia Death Road trip might be the most suspenseful, followed by that trip they took up that mountain pass in (near?) Kashmir. They seemed to be larking about a lot, considering the camera crew also has to make it through production.

[@dudesayingthings]

I just remembered while watching this video that I haven't yet watched Carnage a Trois. So thank you for that reminder, I'm gna go do that right now ❤️

[@Piter_Play]

I think that when they became old, like 10 years in the future, they will come back with the studio formula, and just talk about new cars

[@jmps8639]

Quality upload 👍🏻

[@pottary1]

Once upon a time top gear was a car show with comedy Then it became a comedy show with cars You cannot keep a comedy show going, without the comedians.

[@tvdg93]

I always smile when I see Oliver

[@ethansutherland3786]

2:00 I only just realised he is speaking about ambitious but rubbish

[@DittoGTI]

Gotta admit i thought it was just the Tesla reference

[@richardw64]

Possibly the greatest show viewed worldwide.

[@yanakaizzz9335]

This show was the best show on tv at the time, and there were some good ones at the time!

[@federicoparadisi2164]

Another reference is on Season 2, Ep. 2, where the production gives to Clarkson an audiobook to listen while travelling, but it was James May reading a book on how to fix things. In Top Gear Season 16, Ep.7 the production gives to Clarkson a Cd to listen while travelling to not fall asleep but it was Hammond reading On The Edge

[@7-Mikaela-7]

5:27 can anyone tell me what the reference was

[@raritania7581]

Look up Top Gear budget supercars

[@DittoGTI]

Top Gear budget supercars, Series 7 Episode 4

[@example2844]

S7 E4 if I recall correctly, they each bought an Italian Supercar from the 70's for 10 grand, needless to say none of them worked

[@jackanderson8418]

These three guys could make a show just about them sitting in a room and it would still be absolutely hilarious!
