I'm guessing you are referring to torrents. If that's the case, that's where most people will go as Amazon Prime isn't available in Ireland and I don't know if it's been announced that other channels will air the show

Maybe Dave will come up trumps and buy the rights to show it :P

GoT season 1 was at 7 million an episode and as per season 6 is up to 10 million per episode; so not quite there yet :P

Amazon also have to work for their money, can't rely on the yearly hand out from the British people.

I didn't know Amazon prime wasn't available in Ireland. It's going to get pirated like crazy if Amazon don't do something. I was going to switch my Netflix subscription to Amazon.

If wikipedia is accurate, Amazon's video service is only available in 5 different countries. United States, United Kingdom, Japan, Germany, Austria

If they don't expand on that I can see this show being sold to broadcasters all over the world. Much like how Netflix sold House of Cards etc to local boradcasters before they launched in various countries. They will have a lot of money to recoup on this.

Probably one more for the mods, but are the Grand Tour episodes going to be chatted about on here or in a different forum?

In my opinion it probably should stay here just change the forum name to Top Gear and Grand Tour.

There's very few shows that need their own forum. This should all just go back straight into Television really.

It's not like this forum is overrun with threads. I'd say discussing it here would be fine.

Ye, I think they should rename this the Top Gear Grand Tour Fifth Gear Wheeler Dealers forum.:D

Well here's two teaser videos shown at a live show; and yes it's all proper Top Gear...

Tefral

Looks like they didnt stay pissed off with Ben too long anyway...

Aww.. the comments on the first one are suggesting it's from an old TG Live show rather than TGT

Still miles better than the Evans' effort

cdeb

The tame "The Ben Collins" is genius. It single-handedly kills the STIG off and moves on, and in doing so completely undermines BBC Top Gear.

I hope they keep that format for the Grand Tour. I'm really looking forward to this. The fear was always if they could successfully re-invent the show; it's looking like they can.

Just got the GT rather than TG reference...

Some people came to see our first ever Grand Tour show today. God I love Johannesburg



What a tough life those 3 have....

The Daily Mail has more details and pics of the setup, inside and outside. That view behind them is not simulated ... :cool:

A now that's far too simple and direct!:D

I see you might be the Admin to do such a name change. Maybe 'Motoring TV' as 'Motors TV' sounds like it could be it's own show. And maybe a link to here from the Motors forum like Politics Cafe in After Hours.

Get in touch with the mods, & pitch it to them...it's not my forum to do anything with

ScumLord

i'd be for that too, there are heaps of brilliant youtube channels talking about cars, The production quality is quite high on them too.

SirJoker

So what do you say about the new teaser? I'm pretty hyped for it. I wonder how much different it will be from the old TG.

ScrubsfanChris

Good watch. Plenty of talk about the new series.

They're not filming at the moment, not if James has time to buy a new motorbike in London ...

From November 18th. Let the excitement begin...

I wonder will RTE or TV3 buy the rights to show it here since Amazon Video is only legally available in 4/5 Countries.

I could easily see TV3 jumping on it sooner than RTÉ, keen to pull one over on the channel that had Clarkson & co. on its airwaves.

I like the logo, very retro. Haven't anything else to say about the trailer; my patience for the trio faded as their antics became increasingly (and more overtly) scripted. A 'back to basics' approach would be nice.

I've been catching a lot of the older episodes on Dave lately. I record them so I can skip the bits between the challenges, and I have to say I still find them thoroughly enjoyable and have a want for them back on TV.
