After a bumper 2019, when the show aired a full studio series and a watery special - The Grand Tour Presents Seamen - fans have had to wait patiently for the next special: a road trip in Madagascar. Hammond and May announced their departure from the show shortly after, ending a run on the show that spanned 176 episodes over 13 years. The Grand Tour fans have been waiting patiently for nearly a year for another adventure special from Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond.
Clarkson was sacked from the show in March 2015 after confessing to punching “Top Gear” producer Oisin Tymon. on May 29 and on BBC America a day later. Meanwhile, back at BBC, “Top Gear” released a new trailer for their upcoming season with new hosts Chris Evans and Matt LeBlanc, which is set to premiere on BBC Two in the U.K. The studio segments will also travel from country to country and will be filmed inside a giant tent. Each episode will be broadcast from a different country, with the trio driving through it in a variety of cars.
During their time on “Top Gear,” Clarkson, Hammond and May presented several special episodes where they drove through foreign countries.Īccording to the hosts, “The Grand Tour” will base its premise around those travel specials. The former hosts of the BBCs popular 'Top Gear' program, who left amid scandal over an off-set dustup, have signed up to present a new car show for broadcaster. It usually consisted of a months-long journey through the heart of Europe, but could also be a more detailed adventure through a specific country. The return of former “Top Gear” hosts Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May is almost here, and the hosts have announced the name of their upcoming show on Amazon Prime: “The Grand Tour.”Ĭenturies ago, “Grand Tour” was a term used for the trip wealthy young college grads would take after finishing their education.
