“Maybe, but that’s a worry for another time. Specials can get repetitive, and without any standard episodes with an audience, car reviews, and general sodding about by the hosts, is this going to get very dull very quickly as the trio flexes their large budgets around the world. “My one worry, however, isn’t the episode itself, it’s the structure of the series. It felt like a rerun of previous episodes just with a slightly different outcome, and some of the humour was a bit infantile for my personal liking, but overall it is a return to the top for the trio, especially after the previous episode. But it was a wonderful return to form after a pretty awful boating episode late last year. Like I said at the beginning of this article, it wasn’t perfect. “As if blocking roads, potentially ruining weddings, destroying football fields and blowing-up beaches wasn’t enough, the scenario feels a little forced – and laboured.” Grand Tour Nation
