Hammond would sell it and move to Texas.

My wife got the call yesterday as well, and told them her husband was hot enough to stand in the front row so I guess we'll see if they know how to use facebook and look up whether that's true or not.

That was quick, I just filled the form out this morning and got the call just now. Here's hoping I find out something good next week.

I thought I was having a stroke reading that with how everything was repeated two or three times.

They figuratively beat you over the head with the same information repeated in captions as the story; and they will let you know how you feel by using unflattering pictures.

Is there any news about TGT being watchable in Canada? Seriously, someone just make it easy for me to pay to watch this and I'll sign up for whatever garbage service carries it.

They own the content, they own the distribution platform, there is absolutely no good reason to have regional limitations on it. There are of course plenty of bad reasons made up by people in suits, but those people should be told to go work for the legacy media companies if they think that way.

Does Amazon Prime release titles the same way as Netflix, dumping em all out at once? Seems that'd be pretty difficult seeing as how people are sending in RSVPs for show tickets in California.

I'm sure someone has an example where they did that, but with the amazon shows I've watched, they do things weekly. Are we going to stick with this thread or make a Grand Tour thread?

Boo. Got tickets, but only for filming the opening sequence, not the actual studio segments. Not gonna drive ~13h round trip for that.

I never actually got a call. So it's good to know that despite this being Amazon, it's still typical television production disorganisation.

So apparently 1.2 million entrants applied, 400 were selected initially for the saturday taping, and 350 for the sunday. I assume they had stand-ins for cancels/declines on the RSVP but they didn't mention that statistic. We were allowed a +3 for each invite, both my wife and I got in individually and brought no one with us because all of our friends who would have liked it had prior engagements. All of the guys were remarkably accessible, wandering around in between shots and signing tons of shirts and hats and wristbands. We got to chat with Richard & James for about 15 minutes of downtime while filming multiple angles of something other than the hosts for one segment (a surprise!), and I got high-fived on camera by Jeremy and James during one of the shoots that's almost certainly going to be used. Can't wait to see the footage on November 18. We couldn't bring phones/electronics with us, and the production team asked the crowd not to give out details of what happened, but it was epic as gently caress and you guys are going to love the new show. On a scale of 1-10 the day's events and sights were a 30.

spog posted:"Hey, I've got this Golden Ticket for Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory, do you want to come with me?" Yeah, they asked that we try and keep guests to a 50/50 male-female split, I could have easily found 2 of my dude-bros to come along but tried to respect that request/wanted to bring actual fans, not just people who wanted to be on TV - and figured they would invite more ticketholders if we couldn't bring guests on the RSVP. It was short notice, but I was surprised it became a challenge to get people along to this - of our potentials, one couple had a birthday party, one couple had a wedding, and one couple was in... loving North Korea. (seriously. He works vaguely somehow in diplomatic relations, or so he tells us.)

Ether Frenzy I think we're friends on Xbox and I can't believe you didn't ask me. This is an outrage. Sounds like it was an amazing time. Crossing my fingers for an adequate replacement finally.

They'd have had stand-ins around somewhere; they usually need them to make the place look full and with that many applicants they were guaranteed to get a fair number of people who'd hang around for a chance of getting in. Its good that they went down the route of explicitly telling people that they were stand-ins and might not get on - the only TV tapings I've been to were first-come-first-served and if you arrived later than you needed to then you ended up on the reserve list and you only really had a small chance of getting in - that almost happened to me when I went to see Robot Wars get recorded: my lift was late so I ended up eighth on the reserve list, and they only needed nine folk...

Reading the comments, it's a thing they made for their live show after they left the BBC. That explains how it's on youtube. (The audio's weird because they were doing a bit about how they can't do a TV show without the BBC.) Also that last bit of music sounds really familiar. Kavinsky? Lazerhawk?

I love it. I shows how much they own the idea of a car show that they can freely subvert any aspect of the previous one.wargames posted:Music often over powered the voices for me, so I couldn't hear them some times. This makes me wonder if their sound guy came along as well, because this used to be the case on so many BBC published youtube clips. I don't know everything about sound production, but it might be that the voice is input on a sidechain compressor which is supposed to lower the music when the voice speaks, but that it was for some reason left uncompressed when the clips where put out before the show.
