Without "star in a reasonably priced car", a real Stig, and celebrity walk ons the audience is not needed.
The audience, just there to stoke Clarkson's man parts, won't be missed by me.
Them being gone, I hope that they find something other than old men driving cars and keep the comedy as one of the priorities. Hopefully with an Amazon budget they will have some of the spoofs they used to have, reinvented again, celebrities that not even God could book appear in the passenger seat for interviews, and make me never want to miss the scheduled showings like I used to.
Grand Tour ended up being as successful and as much of a 16"(penis ruler 12" marked as 16") ruler as I expected. Maybe the guys are ready to do some real work as journalists and not become Sir David Attenborough for cars.
