A lot of new TV next week to keep me busy and I am looking forward to the return of “Top Gear” and “Salvage Hunters”. I still love Top Gear, I have not seen any of Grand Tour, and I recently have got into Salvage Hunters in a big way and at the moment playing catch up on back episodes. It was great to have the Walking Dead back in the schedule and still excited on the return of Games of Thrones a few months away from broadcasting.
