Just when you thought The Grand Tour had driven off into the sunset, the legendary trio of Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May are back once again! But this time, it’s not very grand, and there may not be much Touring – at least, not according to the title of the new show.
So, have you seen it yet? The final-ever episode of The Grand Tour? Well, when I say final, I mean, there’s talk it might not be the final. But should it be brought back? That’s the real question. If you haven’t watched it yet, don’t worry – no spoilers here – but let’s talk about where The Grand Tour leaves us, why it (and before it Top Gear) worked for so long, and why trying to revive it or replace Clarkson, Hammond, and May would be massive mistake.

The tale of Chris Harris, Mr JWW, Shmee150, Litchfield Motors and a Toyota GR Yaris – plus a £25,000 quote to feature modifications and a demand for commission – did it happen, did it not, who was the youtuber / influencer involved?

The Rolls-Royce and Bentley of car review shows on TV are of course The Grand Tour and Top Gear. Except that they’re not. Not anymore.
I just watched the first episode of new, new Top Gear (although that should probably be new, new, new, new, new… for me, since I’ve been watching it from way back when good old William Wollard presented it – who else remembers him?).
Anyway I’m feeling right smug, innit?
