Is it though? I haven't watched The Grand Tour but Top Gear was getting very tired before he got sacked. Have they revitalised it or is it just the same stuff under a different name?

It's the same, but different.
It's certainly better than the "official" Top Gear - which has been unfunny and predictable since they departed. I think it's still "finding its feet" so to speak as a unique show, but season two was better than season one.
Since Amazon don't release viewing figures, you can't compare them, but certainly Amazon seem happy enough with the number of new Prime signups the show has induced.

Season 1 was trying too hard. Season 2 is more natural, and back to the kind of humour of the old top gear.

Hmmm.
Have you ever compared the English modernisation "Sherlock" (3 episodes per season) with the American "Elementary" (24 episodes per season)?
Not exclusively a "British way" ...

Three episodes, but they're 90 minutes each, without commercials.
Versus 24 "hour"-long episodes with commercials (40 minutes in reality).
I view the individual British Sherlock episodes as mini-movies. Some of them I could re-watch (and have).
One run through the American Elementary though, and I've had enough. If you're going to let your brain rot watching TV, as my grandparents would say...well, pick your poison.

Exactly!
Sherlock is quality, not quantity - but you end up thinking "I wish there were six episodes this year..."

Something about "leaving them wanting more".
It works.

So I shan't be seeing the Tedious Trio each time I turn on Amazon? Great!

Quote: Why are the seasons so short for good programs, and so long for rubbish?
Probably because it is much more work to make good programs.
If you then try to stretch the capabilities of the team making the good program to produce more content, you end up with yet another rubbish long season. 
At least softwart development works somewhat like that, so why not television production. Both makes programs, so it must be the same?

A thought regarding some slight mitigation of someone trying to get at a resource they don't have access to is to say there is no resource. Any one else implemented this, or just always return forbidden everything user does not have privileges?
Some case yes, say not enough privileges if said resource is ok for them to go get the right privileges then come and retry.
but sometimes I'm think, well, this user should never be able to get this resource, like wrong 3rd party contractor, so just go away, that resource does not exist (for you).
This more just ranting on a friday.

It is nonsense, based on the assumption that if access is forbidden and the attacker "hence" knows the item is there and "probably" can be read one way or the other - and that is the nonsense, unless you keep your secrets in the filename, and not the file itself.
So, you're trading this tiny advantage for some serious trouble in debugging; can it find the file, or is it just acting like it can't find it?

Basically good security is when you tell nothing to the user. Like you do not tell one who tries to break in your site that what part of the identification was wrong, the same way you do not tell someone nothing about resources, who not authorized to do such a request on the first place... Bang him with 403, if one is legitimate, one will contact the proper way to ask for what one want...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Contrarywise, why not send 403 for both?

Kylie Jenner 'sooo over' Snapchat - and shares tumble - BBC News[^]
Do-Nothing celebrity tweets negatively about a company, and 1.3 BEEELION is wiped off the value of that company.
This is an indictment both of celebrity culture and of the underlying uselessness of these tech giants and their crapplications.

Perceived value, really.
