Fantastic tribute to the great Jimmy Clark in the latest episode. As always with such reviews, it's damn near impossible to even come close to covering the scope of the mans achievements and sheer driving genius. But appropriate awe and respect was shown.

Definitely check it out

Yeah really enjoyed that.

The 917 vs 911 was fantastic, I do want an uncut version of it now.

I love the flat cap

I got Amazon Prime for a week to save money on delivery so watched a couple of episodes. The RV one was surprisingly funny.

Dickie Attwood was awesome! Bonkers mad car and he drove it accordingly

So that is the end then? As far as the normal show.

That's the end of the this season. Next season they are out and about in every episode. No more studio (tent).

Yeah no tent or track. It's been out for some time that format change was happening. From what I can gather they were getting tired of the format and the tent was pretty much in Clarkson's back yard anyway. It will be a shame as the audience interaction, the news and Stig and Abbey were good. But 17 years, it's got to end sometime. It will be interesting to see how well the show does without that side of it.

They're not doing the tent stuff or car reviews any more, and instead will just do a couple of specials per year over the next couple of years. Richard Porter (the TG/TGT script editor aka Sniff Petrol) explains it in the Gareth Jones on Speed podcast, episode 359. He basically says they're just knackered old men and the constant travelling is too much for them now.

I was a bit surprised at Clarkson's teary exit.

I wasn't as he was one of the people to come up with the format for the reboot in 2002.

Is out on your fave sites.

Interesting, this experience turned Clarkson around on climate change. Proves what a fucking tool he has been about it.

Bit weird that. He's been travelling all over the world for decades. How many melting glaciers do you have to see before the message hits home?

This special wasn't the best special....in the world. In fact it was rubbish.

I'm sure this is just a coincidence https://twitter.com/sniffpetrol/status/ ... 98208?s=20

Ha, well I reckon you have nailed it Markus.

As well as this gentleman.

30th July. I've heard Clarkson's Farm is also entertaining with a similar shtick. Anyone watched it?

I actually enjoyed the farm show. Andree and I watched it and laughed a lot. The other characters are the heart of the show.

Watched it, really enjoyed it!

Apparently the Farm show has been axed already.

On July 1, Clarkson tweeted: "Dear everyone, there has been some speculation that a second series of our farming programme has been commissioned. It hasn't but we are hopeful."

I think he'll need to sweeten things with the people who live in his village first. People wanting to go to his farm shop have been causing 3 mile jams in the village and the residents are understandably a bit a annoyed.

A second season of Clarkson's Farm is in the works as well.
