Stealing JUBJUB's post.

Clarkson,Hammond & May have named their show The Grand Tour

The Amazon Prime show will feature short films shot in different locations around the globe and the studio audience portion of the showcase will also take place at a different location around the world every week. The pre-recorded studio sections of the program will be filmed in front of a live audience, all housed within a giant tent. Therefore in this spirit of travel, adventure and intrigue, the presenters have decided to call the show 'The Grand Tour.'

Should be good

On that bombshell

 

[Bomberboyokay]

Won't get near the audience their old show did.

Will still get 5x as many viewers as the BBC Top Gear.. even if Amazon Prime don't sell the rights to any of the FTA TV stations.

Nah. BBC Two's typical audience dwarfs Amazon's total subscription. Top Gear was averaging nearly 6.5million last season. Nowhere near that many people are going to start handing over money to watch one show each week on the internet. Will thrive in the torrentverse though.

They'll license it to one of the terrestrial broadcast services.. and the audience there will far outstrip anything the new BBC abomination can achieve.

Will murder the new Top Gear simply because Hammond, Clarkson and May work so well together.

 

[Hap Hapablap]

would love to see them host it here in australia.

To be fair any of us and $5000 could make something better than anything with Evans on it.

An irony of this show's existence is American company Amazon will have less tolerance than the BBC did for Clarkson's I'm-not-racist-I'm-just-joking screwups.

Has this been sold to a TV station yet or will torrenting be the easiest way to view this?

No Australian distributor so far. Not FTA, not even Foxtel.

Guess it's still a couple of months away - hopefully someone picks it up.

With Amazon looking to launch Prime down here, they may look to hold onto this one and use it as a driving force in getting subs.

That's the speculation I've read on the TV Tonight website.
