May 12, 2016 – It’s official! The name of Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond’s new TV show on Amazon Prime will be called The Grand Tour, abbreviated to “GT”.
The Grand Tour will launch this autumn and will be available to watch exclusively by Amazon Prime members.
The show will be noticeably different from Top Gear, with the three presenters visiting a different location for every episode, unlike Top Gear’s studio-based format.
“We’ll be travelling the world hosting each episode in a different country. It’s sort of a ‘grand tour’, if you like. So we’ve decided to call it ‘The Grand Tour’.” said Jeremy Clarkson.
So, the Grand Tour (GT for short) will come from a tent, which we will put up in a different location every week. Your town?
