Final episode of the Grand Tour. The chemistry between these three guys was always so good. I hate to see it come to an end.

Absolutely loved them on Top Gear and have really enjoyed Grand Tour but, sadly, it's time. The last few episodes of GT, while enjoyable, lost some of the magic in comparison to what they use to produce. The guys, save perhaps Richard Hammond, just look tired. Which is understandable given their age.

One thing is clear, having watched the various work they have all put out in the last few years, Clarkson has that special touch that made the shows enjoyable. Clarkson's Farm is just as enjoyable as TG and GT. Have loved every second of it. Yet. I can't get through more than a few minutes of anything James May puts out. Damn, without Clarkson and Hammond he's as dull as paste. Hammonds work has been so-so but he seems more keen on riding the coattails of TG/GT into the sunset as opposed to putting out new stuff.

I agree that it is time. Still sad to see them go.

Clarkson has definitely always been my favorite. I'd say I didn't like Clarkson's Farm quite as much as the trio, but it was still very good. I think it also works because he has great chemistry with others, like Kaleb and Charlie. I personally liked May's travel show, but you're not wrong that it's not as good. Hammond did host a lot of engineering shows back in the day, and they weren't bad either, but also not up to par.

I don't think we'll ever see something quite like what they had on Top Gear. The combination of the way they could rag on each other, be just the right balance of politically incorrect, make the subject material very exciting was pretty special. It was obvious that they enjoyed what they did and enjoyed it together.
