Jeremy Clarkson teases new Grand Tour is ‘very, very good’

The presenter, known for his work on Top Gear and Clarkson’s Farm, owns both The Farmer’s Dog pub and Diddly Squat Farm in Oxfordshire.

His TV credits also include The Grand Tour, on which we worked with Richard Hammond and James May for eight years since its 2016 debut.

The journey came to an end in 2024 with one final special across Zimbabwe and Botswana in Africa, entitled The Grand Tour: One For The Road.

It was announced in February that Prime Video had recruited three new presenters to follow in the footsteps of Clarkson, May and Hammond.

Trainspotter-turned-social media star Francis Bourgeois will front the show alongside James Engelsman and Thomas Holland.

Now, in a new article by The Times, where Mr Clarkson is a columnist, the TV legend has revealed that he has seen clips from the new trio’s adventures.

“I’ve seen some of it, and it is very, very good,” said Mr Clarkson.

When the trio were announced, the 66-year-old told Autocar journalists Steve Cropley and Matt Prior on their podcast: “Don’t be hasty. Do not be hasty.”

“I think Andy’s [Wilman] involved to some extent. Difficult to work out how much, but he’s definitely involved. I know this because I heard his voice on the guide track of their film.

“Oh, it’s different. I mean, it’s different because they’re three completely different people to us, but they’re bl**dy funny.”
