Speaking exclusively to The Sun, Elvis said: “I think we both hope there’s going to be more specials and we’re already well into discussions about doing more of this world tour.”
He continued: “We’ve done 10 episodes but there are so many more places we no know this show is hugely popular in parts of the world we can do more.
“There are so many stories, we’ve already fleshed out nearly 20 more stories we can tell so we’re hoping we can do more of this because it’s been a wonderful and as Mike said at the beginning, I think it’s probably the best thing we’ve ever done, the best show we’ve ever made.”
“Not only is it the best show we’ve ever made, but we know we can make it even better, so how about that? That’s kind of exciting for us.
“We’ve come back with this amazing show that we can’t wait for the audience globally to see it.
“But although we’ve now made it and gone around the world doing it, we’ve gone ‘oh well we could have done that a bit better, we could’ve spent a bit more time on this’.”
He concluded: “We know we can improve it next time round.”
Filming the series wasn’t without mishaps either as Mike, 59, and Elvis, 47, revealed they were caught up in a car crash.

“Not like James Bond by the way, but a motorway barrier came down and he drove through it.”
As Elvis laughingly interjected explaining it was an accident, Mike added: “It was the most funniest thing that ever happened and we didn’t have a camera on it.
“I’m gutted about that, it was very funny.”
Elvis, who joined the beloved motoring series four years ago, has promised even more jaw-dropping hilarious moments from their tour.
He explained: “We’re experiencing things for the first time and out of our comfort zone and when you roll the cameras in those moments you get entertainment.
“None of it is acted, none of it is put on, it’s just genuine and real and that’s what hopefully makes this show so nice.”
