The Grand Tour: Season 3 - 18th January 2019

While the specials are by far my favorite parts of TGT (and previously TG).... I will miss the car reviews and featurettes from the regular format. I can understand them being visibly upset at that aspect of what they do coming to an end, but from a viewer point of view we do have many things to look forward to in the new series and beyond.
That was one emotional finale. The montage at the end really reminded me what an incredible fun TG/GT has been ever since I started watching it at 14yo. Here I am, 14 years later, still absolutely loving what Jezza, Hamster & Captian Slow are doing. Sad to see this format come to its end, but also really looking forward to the upcoming specials.
Yeah, that really got to me, too.
Loved that they got to show some of the Top Gear footage.
I can remember when the show first REALLY hooked me randomly watching it on BBC Canada and then I immediately binged the shit out of it on netflix and it was the greatest few months of TV watching I'd ever had. so vastly entertaining and hilarious.
I'm so immensely glad they'll be sticking around and filming specials and road trips, but as others have said it's still a bit of a shame since this season was perhaps the one where they really got the tent/audience stuff down perfectly.

Seeing the 2 girls in the audience crying, Jeremy crying, the montage that included scenes from Top Gear.
I shed a single manly tear.

It was reported that both of Jeremy's daughters were in the audience....maybe they were his ?
I'm really going to miss Richard's intro into Conversation Street
Kid in speckles during the finale with the blue car was someone I actually knew from sixth form. He's been sorting that car out for a while now. Real nice guy.
I'll miss the tent, random documentaries, the track and conversation street. It all came together this season which makes it a shame we didn't get at least one more in that format. Really excellent season though, the special was amazing and the final episode was surprisingly emotional.
I wonder if it'll just be like, 2 specials a year going forward?

Amazon only renewed it for another season, so we'll see, but I can see them continuing the show until the guys quit as I think this is their most popular original content now.
Wonder if this will give Clarkson the opportunity to do more untold WW2 stories like PQ17. He makes for a pretty good narrator in that form.

Going to miss conversation street and car reviews. I mean, once they got rid of the celebrity stuff, the tent stuff was great.
I watched the first half of the episode last night and finished it today. Even knowing they would be continue on, it was a bit emotional. I started watching them 15 years ago. The last montage was great. I love the big adventure stuff, but will miss some of the studio banter.
I personally do. They aren't getting any younger. If they have a lot of fun with S4 and it's well received I could see another season at most.
Man, that hit hard. I've grown up with these 3 so it's a kick to the gut. Fuck the Toyota Picnic too; guessing that started the crossover epidemic.
Man, that was a really strange finale/goodbye. I mean, very sad, but strange since it isn't reaaally a finale of them working together, and they're still going to do it for 2+ more seasons?
Given that the most arduous aspects (specials/adventures) are going to continue so it's not just that they are too old, and they've already made the tent stationary to cut costs so it's not Amazon, I wonder why they're stopping the in-studio component and treating it like the end of their careers.

Jeremy said in an interview he got very emotional because it's the end of their studio stuff and the format that he basically invented 17 years ago, and he felt like he was saying goodbye to Top Gear as well as he never had the chance.
Even before the Top Gear contract thing Jeremy said he planned for them to do three more years with one final contract for TG then call it a day. They did that 3 years with Amazon instead, but I guess they've been persuaded to do a few more specials rather than stop entirely. They want to stop on their own terms though unlike at the BBC
Honestly after watch Toy Stories or James' NASA doc. I realized 2 things. He's my favorite presenter and I actually love when they do solo stuff. Their trio stuff is still good but nowhere near their Top Gear peaks. Watching old Jeremy Clarkson Car Years episodes is still so good.
Yeah that shit was out of nowhere, good to see they're still going to be doing it just in a different format
Way late to the season and I just finished the final episode. Holy shit I wasn't expecting that ending. I didn't even think Jeremy was capable of such emotion. That final montage of their best moments across both shows really got to me.
It was another outstanding season and it's a huge shame they're ending this format because they've really perfected it with season 2 and 3. I'm glad the specials are still gonna continue but I really hope there's gonna be mini-docs as well. They've been sublime these past 2 years.
