This is a link post The Grand Tour: The Official Trailer
This looks breathtaking. Budget: £4.5m per show. It may well have made Top Gear redundant

This is a normal post At least the Trump tape isn't scripted
and then badly acted out by people pretending to be best mates.

This is a normal post It looks good but a bit over the top in a non BBC way
If you get my drift. Regardless think new and old had ran their course and should be put to bed. Cash cows are for milking though

This is a normal post I didn't think Evans did a bad job personally

This looks like Top Gear with the original cast. I can see it doing far better ratings wise, whether it's as good as Top Gear was or not.

I think the show lost its way anyway, it became far too contrived, too many 'accidental' fires and cross-continent journeys being won in a matter of minutes.

This is a normal post Can't imagine it will do that well for the ratings
mostly because of it being on Amazon Prime.

I'd assume the audience isn't that young, and as such are less likely to do streaming at all, and that many people will have used up their free trial already.

Not sure many people would pay six quid a month for a reality TV show, especially when they have been used to it being free. I suspect most Top Gear fans were casual rather than obsessive - something to talk about at work, nothing more. Netflix seem more logical in getting Black Mirror - a smaller audience, but cult audiences are usually loyal.

I also can't imagine it is an audience that likes change.

They've had plenty of failures, and Netflix seems to be the TV streaming service that's winning.

If people don't subscribe and remain subscribed, then it's a loss-making project.

I'm also not sure what they could do for a second series - that budget is going to be in the hope people stay, or to create awareness that Prime does video. Can't see any reason why it would get such a big budget again when this one is as much an advert as a TV show.
