A valid point, but not an opinion held by all, or even most. (About The Grand Tour, I mean. The BBC continuation of Top Gear after C, H & M left was, indispensably horseshit

2024-10-22 21:58:26 +0000 UTCTotally agree with u mate it’s not all scripted they do take advantages of things for the episodes, as proven in GT when didn’t have a script at all but wasn’t structured lol 😂

2024-03-06 06:49:34 +0000 UTCThe amount of bitching about scripting or them having off-camera support is ridiculous. Even with that level of preparedness, accidents happen. They are genuinely in risky situations, even if they do have emergency response readily available, and risk mitigation elements in place. The special where May cracks his head open is evidence of that. Similarly they have all the emergency response during the regular series, but it didn't stop Hammond ending up in a coma. They had many injuries and serious accidents over the course of the shows run, and every time there would have been massive risk assessments up front, emergency personnel on hand, and so on. And it's not scripted in the traditional sense. The director and producers will have a plan on where they're going to go, what they'll do when they get there, and the way they'll go to get there, but a lot of what happens in-between is natural. That's the same for An Idiot Abroad too, or any other show of this nature. Of course there are planned out stunts and stuff too, but it's for entertainment purposes, though sometimes they are a little heavy handed. Like in this one when Hammond jumps out his car only for it to slide down the dune. It's just too convenient. That said, I doubt it was planned from that far in advance. More than likely they realised after the car got so broken up it would be unable to do the descent safely with him in it, but it would be good to give it a climactic send off.

2024-01-14 05:24:01 +0000 UTCI f*cking love Top Gear ⚙️…the proper one of course, before the BBC killed it and then Amazon pissed on its grave with their terrible attempt to recreate it. Let’s be honest, it’s true.

2023-12-23 02:18:42 +0000 UTCOf course Idiot Abroad was scripted, only Karl might not have known the script himself too much but of course it was scripted. TV shows like this aren’t just whipped together like a student film on whim - and neither is Idiot Abroad.

2023-07-15 21:45:21 +0000 UTCYou’re surprised a tv show filmed in the rainforest has a film crew, a director and a sound guy? How would we see and hear it without that? As for the other stuff, well yes that’s a) for insurances, b) you honestly think a multi million pound globally loved show would go through the jungle like that without experts to make sure they don’t die? Because it has all that doesn’t mean it’s not entertaining, funny chemistry between the 3 chaps and enlightening anyway

2023-07-15 21:43:28 +0000 UTCAfrican special is by far the best one IMO
Adam
2023-06-17 23:36:39 +0000 UTCTop gear is one of the greatest show. As unlike many shows although it’s scripted they are doing what you are seeing
Adam
2023-06-17 23:26:23 +0000 UTCYes to Burma it's brilliant
Andy Farmer
2023-06-17 22:25:35 +0000 UTCYeah but for being scripted it should be better than unscripted shows but it isn’t.

2023-06-16 10:55:11 +0000 UTCI see a couple of Botswana special shouts, which are good shouts, but it say the Burma special would be the best choice next
Lee Organ
2023-06-16 01:12:28 +0000 UTCExactly this
Lee Organ
2023-06-16 01:08:53 +0000 UTCI’d recommend watching the Botswana special too.

2023-06-15 20:10:12 +0000 UTCPretty sure they get asked after every special if it's scripted and they made fun of that question in the grand tour. The director explained in an interview, obviously they need something to direct the conversation at certain points otherwise they'd have to wade through several days of in car footage each and find the good bits to strip down to 1 hour. Although if you watch them on individual projects you can tell their interactions with each other are not scripted. They do run into unpredictable issues where they've been rushed to hospital, or they get kicked out of a country.

2023-06-15 12:59:47 +0000 UTCI'd see a Doctor after that.

2023-06-15 11:35:57 +0000 UTCI'd wear a Bee Keeper Outfit, problem solved.

2023-06-15 11:35:22 +0000 UTCThe Botswana special is better than both you've watched so far

Steve Read
2023-06-14 17:21:42 +0000 UTCAll the Top Gear specials are staged/scripted. Huge film crew and support vehicles in tow always. Doesn't mean the show isn't entertaining.
James
2023-06-14 17:16:36 +0000 UTCI'm sorry but when I watch these kind of shows I can not pretend there isn't a film crew, sound man, lighting, chefs, doctor, paramedics, bathroom facilities, mechanics, Amazonian biologist, botanist, toxicologist and maybe even a director
John Allen
2023-06-14 16:59:17 +0000 UTCMore top gear, great news
Mr Matthews
2023-06-14 16:49:32 +0000 UTCf**k that
Chay Davenport
2023-06-14 16:25:34 +0000 UTCIt wasn’t even that good if it wasn’t scripted.
Josh B
2023-06-14 15:58:27 +0000 UTCBrilliant! We want more top gear 😂👍
Rob Green
2023-06-14 15:57:08 +0000 UTCI always thought it was overrated even if it wasn’t staged but it is. Idiot Abroad is much funnier and that’s just Karl on his own and it’s not scripted. Don’t know why it was so successful.
Josh B
2023-06-14 15:55:39 +0000 UTCi hadnt seen this one, very enjoyable
ezza
2023-06-14 15:47:58 +0000 UTCGreat reaction, KB. Just an assumption, I think you're dropping some hints that you're not quite as into Top Gear as some of us, by saying that you don't really want to do them on a regular basis? Much as I love the person who suggesting this episode, I think it's better for you and for us that you get on stuff that you're genuinely into.

2023-06-14 15:44:10 +0000 UTCTheres an English movie called "starred up" watch the trailer please and consider doing a reaction to it 😁
Sorry not sorry
2023-06-14 15:39:22 +0000 UTCYep, alot of it is predetermined for the cameras.
Jay
2023-06-14 15:37:05 +0000 UTCIt's all staged and scripted.
Steve Read
2023-06-14 15:32:16 +0000 UTCNot staged mate
Chris Fulcher
2023-06-14 15:29:47 +0000 UTCAren't all the stunts and challenges for these top gear shows staged?
Ewan
2023-06-14 14:14:56 +0000 UTCAbsolutely love that your watching these.
BazMan01
2023-06-14 14:10:24 +0000 UTCLove that’s you have done another one of the top gear specials. Top bloke
Will
2023-06-14 14:08:28 +0000 UTCThanks for doing another one mate, hope everyone likes the one chose for king boomer to check out
Chris Fulcher
2023-06-14 14:04:52 +0000 UTCI’m so happy you’re doing more of these! The specials really aren’t car shows, it’s more of an adventure show with 3 great blokes
