The Grand Tourâs third season kicked off with a bang a few weeks ago and seems to be going from strength-to-strength.
One of the reasons for this is the lack of one of the showâs least popular segments.
Those whoâve been tuning in for the latest season may have noticed that the show no longer features any celebrity segment. This is a big change from the frankly awful âCelebrity Brain Crashâ segment of the first season and the âCelebrity Face Offâ from season two.
Discussing the decision to axe a celebrity segment with Metro, Richard Hammond and Jeremy Clarkson said it simply wasnât one of the most popular segments.
âThere are some changes to this one because we looked at what people loved and bits people liked the most.
âIt turns out the bits people like the most are the bits we like the most, which are the big adventures, us three messing about in Mongolia or China or wherever else, usually in something wholly inappropriate to the task and arguing and suffering,â Hammond said.
âMany years ago, it [Top Gear] was a British show, it was only a British show in the UK. And then it became international and it still is very, very international â much better known in Italy and China than we are here weirdly,â Clarkson added.
âSo thereâs no point in having a guest where you go, âladies and gentlemen itâs Howard from the Halifax advert,â because in Uruguay, they havenât got a [email protected] clue who Howard isâ.
