On Amazon their show is called 'The Grand Tour'. Out of boredom I clicked on it, not knowing these guys. After watching the first ten minutes of the very first episode, I was hooked on it. Last nite, killing time in the Singapore airport, was rolling on the floor laughing (literally) as Hammond was irritating everyone doing donuts on their grand tour to Italy (season 1, episode 3).
That video was a blast from the past for me! My last visit to VN was to ride that train from HCM City to Ha Noi, you wouldn't believe how many cockroaches lived on that train. Stopping at Nha Trang for snorkeling, going over those mountains north of Qui Nhon, to pulling into that Ha Noi train station, all brought back great memories. I even toured Ha Long Bay on a boat for two days-one nite, and those islands are spectacular.
I normally avoid all British TV, it has a tendency to put me to sleep. Benny Hill and Monty Python had some good moments, like SNL after the 70's, but left you waiting too long between the good ones. Mr. Bean was just torture to watch every holiday. Top Gear does seem a bit contrived to create humorous situations, but The Grand Tour seems to be more honest interactions between two straight men and a clown, at least to me. And the opening of the first episode was brilliant!
