What makes this show different to the weak imitation show the Beeb have been left with is entertainment. Like the former Top Gear, The Grand Tour is entertaining. It's fun to watch, not just for petrol heads. Sure, it's contrived and scripted (just like the old show was), but who cares? ... you're not meant to take it seriously. Certainly I think Amazon has backed the winner here.  |
Precisely, Top Gear wasn't about the cars or the track or celebrity guests, it was about Hamster, Shaved Ape and Captain Slow who has been actually clocked at 37mph and getting an actual ticket - too funny 
They are the Show and Amazon has just scored big as you said, at the hefty price, but the franchise from it and profit they will make will pay for all that.
