Let's hope it is better than their last season, as I personally think it has gone slightly down hill over the past two or three years.

I think that they were aware that the quality was slipping hence the shorter series' we now get and the fact that they are only doing one or two smaller series per year.
It is also quite clearly why no Christmas Special was made last year even though a straight to DVD one came out to rake in a bit of cash I suppose...!!!
I am looking forward to the new series as it always entertains even if some of the show is a bit tired in places! It's still good fun, and that's what matters...

I remember when it was interesting, and QW was buying some car from down the auctions

Now let's not all go down the same well-trodden path that these threads tread.
BTW I did see QW interviewed at the NEC Classic and he mentioned he'll be doing a series on classics, for SKY though IIRC. From how he described it, it struck me as an expanded version of 'The Car is the Star', which I'd really look forward to.

The typical motoring dross of almost new ex lease MPVs and diesel hatchbacks which clutter the used car market isn't something I want to be reminded of. Give me an entertainment show based around cars any day!

i really hope they do more cheap car challenges! but do them like they used to a few years ago, proper banter that seemed less scripted, and didn't have the stupid "lets crash into James all the time" joke

Christmas Special, a little strange, but is appearing in March.
Hammond and Clarkson both had their licenses suspended after a trip through France and Italy.
Hopefully, they will take it a little more seriously. Or perhaps this season it will end up being James that acts the idiot. Gets a bit boring really.

Wasnt a great special TBH. Some nice cars, but it was lacking something IMHO.

It does seem very scripted now, which is a shame. Looking forward to the new series anyway as it's better than having to watch Emmerdale and Corrie!

Something related to older cars and less of Hammond trying to be a comedian. Less script writers would be a bonus.
