Sorry you are right, but it definitely isn't "The Applecross".

I can see why it’s gets called it colloquially though, as it does pass through Applecross!

Esp given its real name is Bealach na Bŕ which I imagine most people have no clue how to pronounce  ;D

Just watched the new episode....

Spoiler
Was a great watch. I love the piss take of the french because, well, I’ve never met a good one. However what I’d say is it was a bit tame for them.

What I would say though is it had the best few minutes of TV since the start of these 3 together, in that Clarkson and Hammond were side by side in a car reviewing / being the obvious friends they are chatting about it. Found that really enjoyable.

Much much better than the Scottish one which I really didn’t like.

It was a sort of love letter to the unique french car industry.

If they do ever get back to a "normal" filming schedule I hope that they recognise the benefit of specials like this, it gives the show a more personal feel and at the same time you then have a greater contrast between these and the journey specials.

This one had a good balance between the obvious pisstaking and a seemingly genuine appreciation of some of the cars and design ideas.

Really enjoyed the new special. Some lovely scenery and was pretty funny in places. Glad James was ok.

Looks like Clarkson is going to be dropped from Amazon after his article on Meghan. I wonder if this will be the end for the trio or will another streaming service take them on.

Its not like they are short of money, but you wonder what Hammond and May think when they see Clarkson do/say something stupid in the press. They supposedly get millions for their Amazon work, and to have it deleted because of Clarksons outright stupidity must be fairly upsetting.

Hammond & May have their own shows, but think could be the end for Clarkson & TGT, Clarkson has made himself toxic right now because of that article, as said it's not like the trio are short of money.

Feels kind of TGT has been winding down anyway, certainly since they did away with the studio element of TGT, can see ITV dropping Clarkson from who wants to be a millionaire show too.

Just read Clarkson's contract with Amazon is up next year, so is likely not to be renewed anyway, & has 1 more series of WWTBAM due to be filmed

I quite like the Grand Tour where they do a country or classic journey. Will be a shame to lose it and the three of them are entertaining even if much of it is highly scripted. But yes, he’s unsupportable with his ass comments.
