These three have built up a decent rapport and have been better than the Grand Tour trio for several years now. Hoping for a decent Christmas special this year. The Nepal one a couple of years ago was great.

Yeah, really enjoyed that first episode, was great!
I'd love one of those Alfa Gulia GTAms. But £155,000

eddie kidd thing was great, really good
formula one part was good
basically any part im not stuck listening to or looking at paddy and flintoff, there is zero charisma or spark on display at any moment

Well if I was ever going to buy a caravan it’d definitely be on of the Mink Camper pods that Flintoff had on the most recent episode, thought it looked pretty neat!

Huh? Flintoff was injured during filming in December, but it's taken them until now to announce that "Under the circumstances, we feel it would be inappropriate to resume making series 34."
Must be pretty bloody serious.

And it evidently was. I know it’s tasteless, but as there’s been little made public, people are going to want to know even more (like with Huw Edwards).
First pictures of Flintoff in public. And this is nine months after the accident. Seems like it messed him up quite badly.

Yeah, saw that earlier.. they keep saying "he had tape on his nose".
But there's another photo from another angle that looks like it's actually a skin graft of some sort with the end of his nose sewn back on, and the skin next to his nose melted or scarred... must have been absolutely horrific

Yeah, doesn’t look like tape. Maybe a prosthesis. And what appears to be a still-open wound beneath it too.

Whatever happened must have caused a lot of damage to his nose and chin for it to still look like that about 9 months after it happened, I wonder what the heck actually did happen. Hope he's doing well anyhow, even if it's left a lot of scarring/damage.
