Could get Clarkson back... oh WAIT.........

Him and Cameron present it together..


Knew it would flop, far to many presenters, Chris Evan's big ego spoilt it for me.

Only thing i don't like is the music for theme and the zone changing one... Wish they kept the 90's one.

I think its a shame how the captain no longer gets to choose what type of game is played although, with this being a one off, they haven't added that many games so they need to do something to stop them from choosing a physical or whatever so much.

Yeah that was where it was filmed. I think if they were to make a proper series, they would need to make a proper set.

Also, for anyone interested, Challenge have obtained the rights to show the original series again with series 1 starting om October 31st at 6pm.

DIY SOS is on tonight on BBC 1, this time it's at Great Ormond Street Hospital.

Amazing place, amazing staff, can see it being a sad episode though.

Anyone watch "The Grand Tour" yet?

It was good, blew the BBC's out of the water.... only part i would criticise was the news, it was too scripted and they tried to cramp to much in for the first episode, hopefully episode 2 is set out better.

Ughhh, i hate how parents can be so oblivious to who's around them.... same on Facebook, sick of seeing family pictures of children with no clothes on, sick of telling them not to, as you have no idea who's stalking, watching you etc......
