‘My heart hurts now’ say devastated The Grand Tour fans as they’re left in tears as Jeremy Clarkson show comes to an end
THE Grand Tour fans have been left in tears as Jeremy Clarkson’s show came to an end.
The petrol head has officially bowed out of the beloved motoring show alongside pals Richard Hammond and James May.
For their final adventure together as a trio, Prime Video viewers saw them travel across Zimbabwe in their favourite cars.
Jeremy chose a Lancia Montecarlo, James opted for a Triumph Stag and Richard picked a Ford Capri.
But viewers have been left in tears as the final scene of the episode played out.
The emotional scene saw Jeremy, 64, take his mic’s battery pack out of his pocket as he switched it off.
Snuffling, Richard Hammond could be heard saying “that’s it” before the show ended.
Taking to social media, one viewer said: “Bloody crying my eyes out here. Thanks for that. 22 years I’m never gonna get back.”
A second wrote: “Don’t mind me, just a grown man crying over 3 blokes and a car show.”
“I can’t believe I actually shed some tears over this. What a beautiful love letter and ending to this show,” said a third.
While a fourth posted: “Just finished watching! Tears in my eyes, started watching when i was 7 and never missed an episode. Thank you.”
Meanwhile, The Sun recently revealed how Prime bosses are eyeing up potentially rebooting the series with new presenters.
Jeremy issued a warning following the news, saying: “My advice to Amazon would be – and I’ve given this to them already – for heaven’s sake, do not get well known people who ‘like’ cars.”
The Grand Tour episode guide
How many seasons of The Grand Tour are there and where do they take place?
The Grand Tour launched on Prime Video in 2016 and quickly became one of the streamer’s biggest hits as hosts Jeremy, 63, James, 60, and Richard, 52, felt it was time they move on from Top Gear hit the road.
They have now brought five epic series of motoring adventures to the small screen, each taking place in different locations and even featuring celebrity guests.
Series 1
- Series 1 aired from 2016 to 2017 and took the presenters to a number of foreign locales, including Jordan, Morocco and Italy.
- The series is comprised of 13 episodes, with episodes 7 and 8 making up a two-part special set in Namibia, where the trio embarked on an epic beach buggy challenge.
Series 2
- Jeremy, Richard and James returned for more motoring actor in series 2, and drove their way across Europe as they tested out some of their dream vehicles like the Bugatti Chiron and the McLaren 720S.
- This series, which aired from 2017 to 2018, is made up of 11 episodes. It features regular ‘studio segments’ filmed in the team’s permanent tent in the Cotswolds, and had regular participation from celebrities with two guests going head-to-head on timed laps every episode.
Series 3
- In 2019, the presenting trio crossed continents – from North America, to South America, to Europe and Asia – putting both new vehicles and classic sports cars through their paces.
- This series was the last to feature the regular studio segments, car reviews and timed laps.
- To mark the end of this era the final episode’s last segment includes a montage of scenes featuring the presenters over the course of their career as a trio, not only from this programme, but also from their time hosting Top Gear.
Series 4
- This series marked a complete change in format for The Grand Tour as it consists entirely for feature-length specials which aired between 2019 and 2021.
- The first two chronicle Jeremy, Richard and James’ epic adventures across Asia and Africa, while the third and fourth episodes saw them put foreign cars to the test on their home turf. And fitting American vehicles through Scottish roads is no easy feat.
Series 5
- Following the same format as series 4, the fifth and final series of The Grand Tour also consists of four feature-length specials.
- The first of these hits screens in 2022 and follows the trio as they travelled through Norway, Sweden and Finland in three Rally-Inspired Sports Saloons.
- The second episode was another Euro adventure while the third took the presenters back to Africa.
- The fourth instalment of the series and final ever episode of The Grand Tour, titled One for the Road, premieres on September 13, 2024. It promises to be an emotional one as the trio set out on one epic final adventure in Zimbabwe and reflect on their 22-year-long working relationship and friendship.
