Correction, it WAS the best part of Top Gear - there's no bantz in the new series, can't afford to hurt anyone's feelings.

They're going to run it for at least three seasons in an attempt to compete with Grand Tour, but I think they'll close it up afterwards and accept their bumble.

Where Grand Tour might go wrong is that they're using Amazon - which has very little penetration in the UK, and what it does have worldwide (20 million subscribers), is mainly just people on prime for the free postage.
They should have gone with Netflix.

>>15047076
Not at the BBC, officially it'd be grounds for suspension, but it was made bigger than Ben Hur because one of the heads of the BBC has a grudge against Clarkson.
Take into account Clarkson's recent personal issues and the death of his mother and the BBC went against internal policy to get rid of him.

So, a massive shit fit and SJW screaming session later, the BBC lost their biggest names, their biggest selling property and a massive chink of revenue.
>>
>>15047001
Literally who?
>>15047021
Sort of a play on Gran Turismo and the fact that the show is them touring around the world.
>>
>>15047076
You say that, one of our workshop staff punched another a couple of years back (desu he deserved it), One of the two still works here and it's not the one who was punched. Why? Simple economics he was less valuable to the company then the puncher. The puncher was given a written warning and an unofficial "yes he was getting on everyone's tits but you can't do that" and in the next reshuffle the punched man was downsized.

The truth is Clarkson wanted out of the BBC as almost any broadcaster would pay more than they could offer, (most offered him a lot more whilst castigating the punch). Amazon were just the top bidders.

good argument there.

I agree that netflix probably has the bigger audience, but it's not like someone who doesn't give a fuck about clarkson hammond and may would stumble upon them, or like their antics all that much. If they did, they'd probably know about grand tour. if they didn't, they won't care to watch further.

People stumble about on streaming services - it's half the fun.
My wife and I open up Netflix, click something we know nothing about and either enjoy it or click something else.
Netflix offers the best opportunity for this and the best chance for high budget continuity.

The truth of Amazon is that they've never turned a profit, ever.
Their streaming service is needlessly bundled with a shipping service that is useless in most of the world.
Most people on the street don't even know Amazon even has a streaming service, let alone produces their own shows.

Think of the core audience in Britain, they're used to turning on their TV on a Sunday night and watching these three guys - modern Britain is moving towards BBC iView and Netflix, they don't use anything else.

Amazon might have paid them more, but unless Amazon aggressively advertises, offers a separate streaming package, and licenses the show world wide, it will have a troubled life span.

IT has been separated. I imagine Bezos was planning this for a while, however wanted content to sell it for him. I think that is what motivated his offer to Clarkson and crew. He has award winning shoes, deals with HBO, and now minor subscriptions services. Having the Hosts of arguably the most popular show in the world is clincher.
