What's up with the Grand Tour and women?

[Welsh wheels]

Why have they so far had no women appear on their Celebrity face-offs? I'm not a militant supporter of women's rights, but it only seems fair to acknowledge that there are talented female celebrities out there who might enjoy driving around the track as well. Plenty of women have appeared on the old Top Gear. So far, the only woman who has appeared on the Grand Tour was the disgustingly sexist scene with a scantily clad woman as the start line for a race. BTW, this is coming from a bloke as well. Rant over.

Many well heeled women had the time and the money to tour Europe before the railways made it more accessible.

Abbie Eaton has featured in all but one episode of this series, I think?

Because Top Gear is and always was a load of shite and most of us have far better things to do that appear on shite TV programmes that for some reason plenty of men find entertaining...?

No, but appearing as an integral part of the show? Which I'd argue is better than turning up to plug a new book or album?

Just because you watch and enjoy a show doesn't mean you enjoy every aspect of it though

Im going to watch " one woman and her life "
Interesting programme about a woman who drives to Tesco and complains about the price of shopping.
On bbc2 there's a programme about a bloke who buys some bananas.

Sky have re runs of what makes a perfect family, they shop at M&S

We also have on catch up one person and their cardboard box , this deals with equality in the world of the homeless.

There have been no transgender people on either. It's a nightmare.

Didn't realise there was quite so many now.

I've noticed there are no one legged bald people with red beards and an ear missing on the show. A ruddy disgrace.
