First up, I get in covid times there's a lot of things they can't do. I'm sure they would have loved to have done a big road trip somewhere or another seamen type special, but that just can't be done just now. So fair enough.
But this just isn't a special. This is just a collection of the same old tired jokes they have been doing for years. Theres nothing new here. "Oh the French do this...", "Oh French cars are like that". They've been there and done that. The horrendously awful Peugeot segment they did at the end of the Top Gear run pretty much covers this special.
They could have done so much with this. If they had looked at stuff like the SM (the only good part), the Citroen DS, the fan car thing they showed maybe some other classic French cars that were good it could have been better. But this is like a lot of the Grand Tour. Could have been so much better if they went a lot more high brow and the emphasis wasn't put on cheap laughs.
