As I said on Telegram, this seemed like every non-studio segment that wasn't a review, from a TG season circa 2012/2013 and on paper it would be. There's a 'challenge' with old cars, a slightly pointless race, a tribute segment and some caravans. I haven't watched GT for years or bitched about it, so I'm going all out on this one. Spoilers!
Everything up to and including the race at Knockhill was good for me, it was funny seeing the yank tanks battle the plucky little Hillman Avenger and for once we weren't laughing at the British car. Great to see that they made the effort to bring Abbie in for this.
After this it went down hill a bit. This is probably the worst example of destroying/ruining classic cars I've ever seen in one episode of TG/GT. They've trashed a lot of newer cars and obvious poor examples before but the main challenge and first race combined take the cake. The BL episode is probably a close second, which is a shame as it's my favourite episode up to the ending. The Lincoln was a bit sketchy but the other two seemed like perfectly good examples at the beginning, they definitely aren't now! Don't get me started on the Lada and the Zastava, I'm just going to imagine that they were rusty beyond repair...
Tribute section was way too short and the ending of the challenge was not as funny as I was expecting (I was expecting the joke to be they were the only ones there and had been tricked into exiling themselves). I thought this would be something I'd go back to watch like the aforementioned BL episode but nah.
Edit: oh yeah the food bits were funny, I’ll give them that.
