Not pretending that the original Top Gear wasn't mostly scripted, but GT is so heavily scripted at times it feels like they're playing characters based on themselves
It felt way more stilted and talking off-camera from what I saw of it.
True about the scriptedness boys. I'm trying to figure out if Clarkson has become Flanderized (he's a lot less 'sincerely controversial', a bit more I guess goofy) or if he has just mellowed out because he's becoming an old man. His voice cracks in the recent series of Grand Tour really show this. He's getting old fellas...
does he have a crew of young people with him or is it just him?
He has a crew but they don't really feature on camera. Less than Oh Cook! or those YouTube things. He sort of just goes around, usually by himself but sometimes has a Japanese qt guiding him around.
I don't really feel it's an issue with the other shows.
It's only in the Our Man In travels that I actually notice it. Probably because he's not playing off some guy consistently.
I don't really enjoy his solo travel shows weirdly enough.
Too much staff bullshit and not much actual enjoyment of the local stuff on his part.
Oz and James was fun as is The Grand Tour.
His cooking/mucking about with tech is fine though.
What do you mean staff bullshit exactly? I feel the TG boys have always had that sort of documentary crew feel about them, so his travel shows never stuck out jarringly to me
Weirdly enough? He's clearly a fricking loser, he was absolutely gifted an amazing career probably due to being repeatedly raped by israeli producers as a child
i don't know if I'd call him a loser, but i do find him to be the least likeable on his own. he needs clarkson and hammond there to rag on him and call him old/slow/boring or else i find he starts to disappear up his own ass. he's also clearly a bit of boomer libtard and it bleeds through more and more with each season of Our Man In
It's fantastic, isn't it? He presents it in such an intimate and atomizing way that it could kindle the spark for mechanical engineering in just about anyone
>the crust is soggy and rare >*violin music play* >uhh, the cheese is slipping off like snail baskin roberts >this looks like dogs dinner >the meat, piled on a pile!
you've likely seen it, but clarkson's farm is mandatory viewing. it's somehow just as good as top gear. clarkson is legitimately larger than life, i love watching his antics
will I enjoy our man in Japan if I'm a bitter neet who hates seeing people enjoy themselves and being greeted warmly by the locals? I cannot watch traveller youtubers for this reason.
>messing about with the giant robots >his tour guide chick walks into the hangar in a smaller robot >"jaaaames, i'm coming to shoot youuuu..."
i'm usually not into Asian chicks but that was the most adorable thing I've ever heard
>implying you'd go to a fricking maid cafe with cameras pointed at your face
I wouldn't step foot in there even if they paid me. Way too fricking awkward, if your gf or wife dresses up as a maid for you in private that's one thing, but these women are paid to act a part and have no interest in you.
rockin'
I highly recommend the Grand Tour btw

Our Man in India
Do you think he redeemed?
>BLUBBERING FUNDIE
indians are such disgusting "people"
how the frick are indians real
>Just borrowing some friction
A bangin' stereo for me choons.
i enjoyed his our man in japan
didnt even make it through the first episode of the india series
Season 2 in Italy was definitely worth watching too, comfy
Italy was decent
India was so boring and im glad there was only 3 episodes. you don't miss anything by avoiding it
What about the poojeeta?
the female "comedian" guide?
worst guide of them all, her "jokes" were just "you're british"
>her "jokes" were just "you're british"
seething yuro
what?
im not British why should i care?
her jokes were just incredibly boring and repetetive
are you misogynistic?
well i was completely fine with the female guide in Italy and all the other females throughout the series, so do with that what you will
>Completely fine
She was a smoke show! I remember hearing that he fricked her backstage
good for him
>travel show
>backstage
kek, it's kino!

james may is not a trust fund band

the "libtard" side of James is a bit annoying yeah
>James May's Toy Stories
Kino series. I wish they made more of it.
I loved watching The Reassembler
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyl5ty6OTbcoHPEVeH8k2Ke1DVcYwqELa
I never thought I would sit and watch a show where a man builds a lawnmower
It's fantastic, isn't it? He presents it in such an intimate and atomizing way that it could kindle the spark for mechanical engineering in just about anyone
Does anyone have any recommendations for similar comfy kino? Ramsaychads need not apply, already got that covered

its japan so expect over the top politeness, but you'll like it. everyone is playful, it's not sterile politeness
does he have a crew of young people with him or is it just him?
