Jeremy Clarkson Reunites with James May and Richard Hammond for New Episode of The Grand-ish Tour
Jeremy Clarkson has returned to The Grand Tour alongside his longtime co-stars James May and Richard Hammond, with a new episode of the beloved show launching this week. The trio, who became household names with their witty, adventurous antics, initially started The Grand Tour a decade ago, under the guidance of producer Andy Wilman. Their chemistry, humor, and larger-than-life personalities were a major part of the show’s success, and for 22 years, their work on both Top Gear and The Grand Tour kept fans entertained worldwide.
However, after more than two decades of thrilling automotive adventures and laughs, the trio officially called it quits in 2024 with one final, epic road trip. The grand finale, One For The Road, took them through the wild landscapes of Zimbabwe and Botswana, marking the end of their journey together in the professional world of motoring television. The farewell episode resonated deeply with fans, offering a mix of nostalgia, emotion, and, of course, the trademark chaotic fun that had become synonymous with the trio’s on-screen dynamic.
While their time as the primary hosts of The Grand Tour has officially concluded, fans of Clarkson, May, and Hammond have no need to worry. Earlier this year, Prime Video announced the release of four new retrospective specials, bringing the iconic trio back together for one more round of commentary, laughs, and behind-the-scenes insights into their time on the show. These specials offer a fresh perspective on some of the most memorable moments from their adventures, featuring new commentary from James May and Richard Hammond, alongside classic clips that fans have come to love.
The first special, The Not Very Grand Tour, was released on the streaming platform back in April of last year, giving viewers a taste of what was to come. It took a reflective look at their time on the show, filled with humorous anecdotes and heartfelt moments. Then, just last week, the second special, The Grand-ish Tour: A Trip Down Memory Lane, was released, reuniting the trio for a deeper dive into their unforgettable exploits, with Clarkson returning to join the team.
But the fun doesn’t stop there. Tomorrow, Friday, May 8, Prime Video will release the third episode in the series, The Grand-ish Tour: A Bit Further Down Memory Lane. This episode promises to be yet another nostalgic and laughter-filled ride for fans who have followed the trio for over two decades. In this special, the team takes a walk down memory lane, reflecting on some of their most ambitious projects and hilarious moments. The episode description teases a celebration of their finest handiwork, including the iconic “John” — the self-assembly car that successfully crossed Mongolia, and Clarkson’s own home-made SUV, The Excellent, which became an instant fan favorite.
Fans can also look forward to the trio recalling some of the most memorable moments from their time on the road, including the epic drag races that defined their competitive spirit, the legendary pranks that have become a hallmark of their friendship, and the infamous wonky windscreen wipers that sparked endless laughter.
With the release of this new episode, The Grand-ish Tour continues to offer fans a delightful mix of nostalgia, humor, and automotive madness. As the trio reminisce about their greatest adventures, viewers will once again be reminded of why Clarkson, May, and Hammond have remained such beloved figures in the world of motoring television. This third special promises to be another fantastic chapter in the saga of their unforgettable journey, as they reflect on the legacy they’ve created together.
Be sure to tune in tomorrow for the latest special — it’s guaranteed to be a thrilling ride down memory lane!
