Proof That "The Grand Tour" Will Be Very Similar To "Top Gear"

    Just by watching the trailer, there doesn't seem much of a reinvention of the show's format. For viewers, that's a good thing.

    There is finally a trailer for Amazon's The Grand Tour, that isn't something like three seconds in length.

    And when you're watching the trailer, it becomes very apparent very quickly that not much has changed since Clarkson, May and Hammond left Top Gear.

    Since Top Gear has gone wrong since they left the BBC, not just because of the new presenting team but also because the show has stepped away from its regular mix of the silly films next to serious car reviews, maybe this isn't so bad?

    1. For example, in The Grand Tour there's a studio with so many guests inside that it is guaranteed that the people at the back can't see anything, like in Top Gear.

    2. There's a random chase or race between a thing that is a car and something that deffo is not a car.

    3. There's something in a challenge going tits up.

    4. Leading to them being shouted at by the other two.

    5. There's one of the team looking as if they have had a painful injury but they get the piss taken out of them.

    6. There's a car with smooth edges that costs like 847 times our annual wage, which makes it exciting but also a little bit depressing to watch because we will never be that rich to afford the actual car.

    7. There's Clarkson getting annoyed at an animal.

    8. Sexy sexy sexy sexy sexy sexy sexy sexy sexy sexy sexy sexy sexy sexy sexy sexy sexy cinematography.

    9. And something really quite far away blowing up, with the fireball taking up most of the screen.

    The Grand Tour launches weekly on Amazon Prime Video from 18 November.
