Reception

Currently the last part says: Radio Times has criticised the programme's "Celebrity Face Off" segment for featuring only male guests in series two, stating "The Grand Tour’s first celebrity guests for series 2 have been revealed – and there’s not a single woman". Should this be removed seeing as its been confirmed that Paris Hilton will be a guest?--EnderAtreides117 (talk) 12:23, 29 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Done, have tried to simplify it in Special:Diff/821102607. —Sladen (talk) 11:39, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Series Overview

Can a series overview table be added now? Seems about time. I'll leave it up to someone else in case there's a specific format needed. TheMysteriousEditor (talk) 21:56, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

TheMysteriousEditor, what content would you recommend adding? —Sladen (talk) 11:34, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

AussieLegend kindly went ahead and uncommented the existing table in Special:Diff/821107680. —Sladen (talk) 12:43, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Silvija Jurin

For those who wonder about the name of the Finish Line. Hektor (talk) 17:34, 23 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hektor, Jurin is already named and cited in the article. Is a change required? —Sladen (talk) 18:10, 23 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

New pages

Hi, should a page for Series 1 and Series 2 be created for The Grand Tour? As well as a "List of The Grand Tour episodes" page? It'll stop this page becoming too cluttered and packed and all that can remain in this article would be the series overview table. Now that there's two full seasons/series it seems appropriate (obviously the episodes boxes can just be moved over). Thoughts? TheMysteriousEditor (talk) 22:21, 5 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

TheMysteriousEditor, might it be worth waiting just another couple of weeks, until there are actually "two full series"? —Sladen (talk) 22:27, 5 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Now then? TheMysteriousEditor (talk) 12:16, 19 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Likewise I didn't want my additions to "conversation street" making this entry from becoming very long. I even went as far as creating a new page just for part of the show. The new page I created was refused and the wisdom of the moderators suggested that my additions be left on the main page.

Series 3

There are a few sentences with information related to Series 3, currently included as a subheading under the Episodes heading. Since this information does not really relate to specific episodes of the upcoming series, it would seem to me that it does not fit here. But when I tried to figure out where else it could go, I did not find a current section that was an obvious place to move it to. Is this me being too worried about the main heading or is there a better place for that information on this page? - Cafemusique (talk) 11:54, 10 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The info there is not the type that will last once we start having Series 3 episodes (eg when we know where we can place those test drives into a given episode). They're probably fine where they are now until then. --Masem (t) 13:45, 10 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Production - British or British-American?

I thought I'd open a discussion here since nobody else has bothered and there are still obviously some people who have differing opinions. For my part, it seems clear that the program is produced by a British company for an American company so I don't have any doubt about the British part. The American side seems a bit more obscure. Amazon (the American company) has funded the production but in several interviews the hosts have said Amazon has given their company pretty much free reign to produce as they wish. Obviously, there are going to be some conditions placed upon W. Chump & Sons but they don't necessarily make it a British-American production. I haven't actually seen any US sources claiming US involvement in the production so "British-American" doesn't seem valid at this point. For the record, I have just asked all three hosts via Twitter if they can clarify. --AussieLegend (✉) 00:46, 13 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
