Predictable, dull, boring. It was entertaining 20 years ago. Seeing this skit rolled out over and over again makes for the dullest of TV. The producers must have absolutely no imagination.
I have a funny story involving that game "Battleship" which this video is based on. One day, when I was about 11, I challenged my Grandfather to the board game "Battleship", and I lost about as badly as anyone could lose. I didn't even hit one of his ships, and he annihilated me. The thing is, I forgot to take into account that challenging my grandfather to a game that was based around Naval combat was probably not a good idea based on whom he served at the time. You see, he was a Lieutenant Commander in the United States Navy. I learned a valuable lesson that day, and it is certainly one I will never forget. Still, looking back, I am happy I played that game with him. He died in 2019 sadly and boy do I miss him.
Probably old enough now for people to actually think they're cool, and their value is going up. Had to find the latest 15-year-old cheap economy crap hated by the Grand Tour trio.
Just realized what they should use as a missile: Ford Pintos, falling back-end-first. Simpler in that you won't need to set up any sort of fuse or trigger system, it will automatically explode on impact.

He always does that little dance, I'll never forget the one where they cheated him out of his score, divvy what he already had & the other 2 mocking him saying he was out of it, then last category was price paid for car, 1pt per £, after thinking he won, James took the pen from Jeremy & wrote down how much he'd paid (I know it's scripted but still great to my 12yo brain)
I've watched this show for over twenty years, this was the very best and most fun episode, There have been more daring, better acted, better scripts and better stunts, but this was sure delicious pleasure watching two people I admire so much,,, mess with each others hair like a Siamese cats. PURE JOY!
Please keep the grand tour going for as many years as possible. It's especially important in these late covid times where the world feels more divided than ever.
Best. Grand. Tour. Spot. Ever. Perfect game concept, top level players playing their hearts out, the ideal outcome (we all knew it would end this way), and explosions. What's not to like?
I love how they are introducing this as an alternative to video games, when all I can think of is, "Hang on, that is the Car Bomb minigame from Sam & Max: Hit the Road!"

@@Packle. Not familiar with them as we don't have them in the US. Though my understanding is they are super slow and quirky, not highway capable, sort of the typical pre-Tesla electric car. Perhaps a "neighborhood electric vehicle," basically a fully-enclosed golf cart.
