This would have been a 10 but for Hammond's painful horse "rant" and the fact that it was Hammond who did the Jim Clark piece and not Clarkson or possibly May.
This shows what they can do when not making funny noises or blowing things up for no reason.
The Alpine section was fine, pretty standard for TGT or Top Gear.
The Urus section again was good. Could probably have done with that being a bit longer.
The Jim Clark section however was superb. I think (I may be wrong) this is only the 2nd time on TGT they've done a history piece like this after the Lancia v Audi one and both have been incredible. I'd love to see 1 hour specials on things like that. The only slight drawback is that Hammond presented it. I think Hammond is the biggest problem with TGT and caused Top Gear to nosedive badly towards the end, however why they thought it was right to give the guy who always used to say that F1 was rubbish and claimed he didn't know the drivers the job of doing a piece on Clark is mad. Clarkson would have elevated this even further in my opinion, as would May. However, Hammond did well. It shows what he can do when not making noises and pulling faces.
All in all it's easily in the top 3 Grand Tour episodes
