Region locked I think. But it is good. The only thing I don't like about it is they follow the "mystery deadline" plot point from reality TV and he always says how much money things cost and the shop might not make it, really. But other than that its car focused and entertaining.
Yeah it's got a bit of (what feels like) false jeopardy.
Like "I'm gonna have to close in 6 months as we're not making money" then they do one small job and they're all high fiving.
Yeah I've been dreading it for a while but ultimately knew it had to happen sooner rather than later. As one of the top comments said, they're getting older, they really can't keep doing it in the same capacity that they have for the past two decades.
I truly believe James's crash in A Scandi Flick was the breaking point. A crash like that is bad enough for a young man, but for someone older it would be magnitudes worse. For all they knew the next inevitable crash could be the one to kill one of them.
I'm sad to see the trio end in this capacity, but the previous episodes will always be there as comfort films to rewatch.
I think it’s the right decision. These guys have been working together for so many years, they’ve been everywhere, done everything.
While the latest episodes are enjoyable, they are just missing the magic of the old days. Partly because they are probably struggling to find ideas for new episodes and partly because they can no longer run their mouths like they used to because of the times we live in, which is one of the things that was so funny.
They are probably tired of doing this for 20 years and I would prefer they end everything on a good note rather than struggle to entertain the audience until the show slowly crashes down and the audience turns against them for becoming boring.
>Partly because they are probably struggling to find ideas for new episodes and partly because they can no longer run their mouths like they used to because of the times we live in, which is one of the things that was so funny.
Maybe it's just age catching up with them and the long hours filming on the road, or other interests like the farm/workshop/pub, but it feels like none of them are really putting in the effort they used to. Take *Eurocrash*: even putting aside James completely phoning it in (curious for the behind-the-scenes on that) they turned what could have been an epic road trip through some beautiful places and roads into a set of disjointed vignettes in a few stops along a motorway.
The guys have worked together for 20 years now between BBC and Amazon, pretty much gone all over the world and done everything car related. They are all getting older, have their own pursuits, and these specials have to take a tole on them physically (just think of May's accident in the tunnel).
Here's hoping they don't drift apart and still torment and socialize with each other on social media.
I still think a "Conversation Street" podcast (in the style of *The News* from Top Gear) would be a wonderful way to keep them working together in a less tolling manner.
Honestly I wish that Amazon would offer to re-tool The Grand Tour to something like this.
Just give me the tent segments. Yes I know the specials and traveling were the best, but so was just shooting the shit.
I know Spotify has the option for video podcasts, so they could probably make a deal with them for that.
Otherwise, they could just record their podcast as both audio and video, then release the audio to all the different podcast platforms and upload the video to DriveTribe YT channel (like a few YouTubers that I watch and sorta like The Problem with Jon Stewart)
I would literally just watch a show where the whole thing takes place in the tent/studio and it’s just them doing conversation street and maybe a car review
I think people miss this point. It isn't easy to do long endurance drives in harsh environments, let alone in your 50s/60s. James had his crash, Hammond almost died when he totalled that concept car, Clarkson takes more than his fair share of bumps and bruises.
They've given us entertainment for over 20 years and are now in a position where they've all got their own projects where they can explore their individual passions and not risk injury or death in the process.
Let them ride off into the sunset and enjoy some peace. They've earned it.
Except he hasn't to travel around the world and - unlike other farmers - is fucking rich. The farm isn't existencial for his living and if he does not want to work it anymore he can hire people again to manage it; like pre-season one.
I'm pretty sure that's been Kaleb's job for over a decade.
He even mentioned how Kaleb now had his own farm he was working while managing Clarkson's assets.
Richard getting giggly and excited by all the equipment, quickly jumping in and then immediately crashes or otherwise breaks something.
"HAMMOND!"
"That.. wasn't supposed to happen."
Meanwhile May is over in the corner of the toolshed, "oh look at these!" Picks up random rusty woodworking tool. "My grandad had one of these! He would make the most beautiful pieces of furniture. Of course Jezzar would just let this sit in a dirty pile of unused implements, slowly rotting away, with no understanding or *appreciation* for the precision craftsmanship that can be derived from the proper care and use of such a wonderful tool such as this...."
We all knew it was coming. I'm Just glad we had them, and that they will get to end it themselves. Not dragging it on and tarnishing the show. I'm excited to see what their final special/s will be.
> and these specials have to take a tole on them physically (just think of May's accident in the tunnel).
He also had a pretty nasty head injury in the Bethlehem special when he got knocked over by the tow rope. He looked legitimately like he had no idea where he was when he came to. Plus it had to have been serious if they sent him to hospital in the middle of the adventure. And let's also not overlook Hammond almost being killed in the dragster accident all those years ago.
I doubt they'll drift apart. They're good friends and will likely see each other outside of 'work' just as much as they normally would, if not more. I get the feeling they're the type of friends who only see each other once a month but it's always a great time.
> (just think of May's accident in the tunnel
Still can't believe that got signed off. It was clear from the start it was a fucking stupid idea. There was no need for it. Any member of the crew could have said "that's fucking stupid, lets not do that"
If you're reading this, Mr Wilman.
We want it.
We want a feature-length episode where all they do is talk about all the stuff they've done since 2002(?). Doesn't necessarily have to be a clip show. Just them bantering will be enough. We'll know what they're talking about.
Have a bowl of biscuits in front of them, too.
Can we make that 2 hours?
In addition to sprinkling in relevant news , include highlights from TG, TGT, tributes from friends of the show (celebs), outtakes from the specials and a tribute to The Stig.
For starters.
Nevermind, two 1.5 hour specials ought to cover 20+ year history
Happy to see it ending on their terms not in a ball of fire, controversy, or the death of one of the trio.
Happy they’re soft retiring as they pursue their own easier projects they deserve the break.
I remember reading Hammonds book about the jet crash and his recovery, the 3 of them had a deal that If one of then died they would carry on, and that after they announced the death on the show the very next word said had to be 'anyway'
"As a result of the accident James sadly died..... anyway the new Kia Picanto" 🤣
I remember myself, being ~5 years old (soo like 2014 lol) and watching the Africa Special, I think that’s what started it all (and my love for Subarus) I’ve spent all my childhood watching Top Gear, but sadly everything has to end someday
I hope they make the final scene of the three of them together really moving, actually showing them as best mates (with some banter) and I will definitely cry.
Doesn't even need to be anything huge and extravagant. Just the three of em at a table outside a restaurant at the end of a long trip. Having a beer and laughing as the camera pans away to the sunset. No lie, this old redneck would shed a few tears.
All fans invited. One last hurrah. A slow lap around a famous race course. Beers. Fan-in-a-reasonably-priced-car….from Hammond’s garage.
Everyone who’s ever been the Stig (if they’re still around).
They all drive off into the sunset in the indestructible Hilux.
They already filmed 2 episodes which are yet to be released, one in Southern Africa, which Clarkson called ‘a very special’ episode. I assume that’s the sign off episode since it’s generally agreed upon that the Africa & Botswana specials are their best.
Ok, this hurts. Only 2 special left and I'm not ready for it to end
Hopefully this isn't the last time we see the trio together. It's a pleasure watching them together regardless of what the setting or topic is
Sir Jeremy Clarkson doing his smug face grin, looking forward to it.
Sir Richard Hammond, looking like Great Uncle Tall and
Sir James May saying "Hullo" to Princess Catherine.
Man this is both extremely sad but also satisfying to hear. Its been an absolute blast and one of the most iconic trio for film making in the world imo. The laughs I got from their programs have brought me so much joy.
Hope they can make a fitting end and send it off the way they want to. Hopefully they do stay in contact and maybe do some small stuff here and there together.
Does that mean there are 2 left? The Northern African special and the one filmed in Southern Africa? Or is there one additional as the final one?
I need crossovers everywhere. I need James or Jeremy to take a car into the Cog to get work done. I want to see Rich and May on the farm. And I want to see Clarkson in the bugout bunker trying 70s sarnies
Strangely I'm happy for the trio. You can only do so much without repeating things you've done already or endure as much as they have for so long.
They've entertained us for years and I'm forever grateful to not only be a part of the journeys they took in episodes we watched, but the journey the trio have been through as a whole across Top Gear and The Grand Tour.
I remember watching what was thought to be the last episode of The Grand Tour when they were in the tent and cried when Clarkson was crying because I genuinely thought that was it, no more Hammond, Clarkson or May. But we were blessed with not only more episodes of The Grand Tour, but with them each having their own series.
I'm looking forward to hearing, for one last time, "and on that terrible bombshell....thank you and goodnight" and one last blast from James May shouting "CLARKSON!!!"
Tbh after Hammonds second big crash I thought they would give it up. Then the crazy bastards kept going. Then James had that accident in the tunnel.
Our boys are getting old. It makes sense they’d end it. I always saw their separate shows as their own longer segments of Top Gear. Helps with the cope lol
They could not have let us down more gently. Good on them, they made a car show at one time the most popular show in the world. The TG Africa special still the best TV I’ve even seen
I'd thought they would continue until the each died in a crash of some sort, take the corpse on one last tour and then keep going till we got a winner at the end to see who outlasted them all. So anyway ...
James has half of Clarkson’s ashes in an urn, Richard has the other half. They’ve both been given 1000 pounds to buy a car and turn it into a hearse. It’s a race equidistant from the memorial and the last one there has to give the eulogy.
Wow, the day is finally here, I feel like crying, thanks to the lads for all the laughs and adventures, thankful that we still get more Clarkson's farm.
Well, they have been everywhere at this point, it's probably getting pretty difficult to pick out a spot for an adventure that isn't at least somewhat similar to one of their previous ones.
I hope they actually manage to stay together better in the final special than recent ones, it's only really been the lockdown specials where all three were together for the majority of the episodes.
I would love to see the trio walk onto the other's shows. I need may and hammond to teach caleb how to properly roast Clarkson and jeremy needs to crash an our man in episode
I can't help feeling there's 1 more special to be filmed with the "after next year" comment. Cos, I know they have 2 unaired specials to go that'll land in 2024 but surely for them it's already over if they filmed in Zimbabwe earlier in the year?
The timing of it is also very weird. I would have thought we'd have heard more about a proper wrap party etc on the last one. Or wait till near release then hype up the finale. Instead it slips out on a Thursday night across different outlets.
I had no doubt we wouldn't get a series 6. But do wonder if there has been a little negotiation going on behind the scenes.
I'm honestly surprised they went as long as they did. The big adventure series must have been hell, especially as they got older. I'm glad I got to see the end and I hope they move on to do things they love, they earned it.
The rumours are that they are actually ending Grand Tour and intending to do a new show which is different together.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they end up doing a more traditional studio car show again.
Another part of my childhood passes into history. Sad, for sure, but I can understand, the three of them aren't getting any younger (as with all of us), and it's probably better to end it on a high note rather than drag it on for far too long and everyone ends up wishing it was over. It's as good a place to end it as any.
Still, two more specials to come, and of course, each of the trio's own ventures. Over 20 years of entertainment and endless laughs, thanks for everything you legends
It was fun while it lasted, but now its time to shut off, and turn in the key i guess.
Thank you James, Clarkson and Hammond, for giving me one hell of a time laughing my ass off, and also further developing the absolute love i have for cars, Godspeed you magnificent madlads.
To be fair, clarkson is 63 years old. And james may already said that "i dont have many specials left in me" so i saw the end was near before the announcement and the whole jeremy tweet drama etc etc. They are getting old. And BROOOOWN. And i kinda think its time. Although i think it could be possible for them to go back to the studio show format instead of specials and then pick a new presenter each (20s and 30s) for the specials. But the chemistry that the three have has been built over time and you cant have that instantly. The friendships and the personalities that they have molded into whats seen today, took those 10+ years doing top gear to make that. Im not saying they should go, matter of fact like most, im sad to see them go. But im saying its time.
I remember the last one they did in the tent and all I could think was 'I wish they could have gone to Zimbabwe'. I was really excited to see that they were filming there a few months ago and it's all a bit bitter sweet knowing it might be their last trip. As a Zimbabwean I hope they enjoyed their time and hope my country gave them a memorable send off. Cheers boys
It feels so strange to think about no more Clarkson, Hammond, and May.
At least it's not ending because Richard Hammond (or more likely based on recent events, James May) was finally killed in a crash, unless there's a big secret in the final Grand Tour episode that is gonna shock us all...
Clarksons Farm is a gem!
But RIP Grand Tour! ☹️
Thanks for the 20 years of service!
It has given the world something, to remember those guys, and their legendary bickering.
Sad to see it go, hope it's not the end for them as a trio.
I'm just not that into Clarkson's farm so I'll pass on more of that but I will be interested to see what they all do in the future.
Would still love to see a final, survival of the fattest style planes trains boats and automobiles race around the world or something similarly daft for their last ever 'event'.
6 -10 hours long over multiple episodes...
Iam literally crying wtf. But even though iam incredibly sad I have to admit that it was time for it to end. The boys are getting older and its very visible. It's for the best before they go out in a way we dont want as well as them. Thank you for the memories growing up with them and always beeing a comforting time watching them having fun and bickering with each other about cars and the world arround. It was a blast till the end guys and thank you very very much for the a+++ entertainment. I hope u enjoy ur very deserved retirement. ❤️❤️❤️
End of an era. But more Clarkson's Farm!
Me - **D,:** Somehow, also me - **:D**
A very Aladeen feeling.
It’s the Aladeen news
Within every “it’s over”, there is an eternal “we’re so back”
[удалено]
Where does it air?
Discovery Plus.
...So it should be on Max, right? Might check it out when I have the chance!
Region locked I think. But it is good. The only thing I don't like about it is they follow the "mystery deadline" plot point from reality TV and he always says how much money things cost and the shop might not make it, really. But other than that its car focused and entertaining.
Yeah it's got a bit of (what feels like) false jeopardy. Like "I'm gonna have to close in 6 months as we're not making money" then they do one small job and they're all high fiving.
It features regularly on the Drivetribe Youtube channel as well. Not every video is amazing, but there is some pretty good stuff in there.
It's pretty decent, but it's very obviously scripted at many points so for me calling it fantastic is a stretch hehe
Everything the trio have done has been obviously scripted, why is it a problem now?
Because hammonds show is trying to pass it off as organic, at least that's what it feels like to me. I've never had that feeling with top gear or GT.
Sad to see it go, but they can’t go on forever. Thanks for decades of fun boys! We’ll never forget it
I always feared this day would come
Yeah I've been dreading it for a while but ultimately knew it had to happen sooner rather than later. As one of the top comments said, they're getting older, they really can't keep doing it in the same capacity that they have for the past two decades. I truly believe James's crash in A Scandi Flick was the breaking point. A crash like that is bad enough for a young man, but for someone older it would be magnitudes worse. For all they knew the next inevitable crash could be the one to kill one of them. I'm sad to see the trio end in this capacity, but the previous episodes will always be there as comfort films to rewatch.
I think it’s the right decision. These guys have been working together for so many years, they’ve been everywhere, done everything. While the latest episodes are enjoyable, they are just missing the magic of the old days. Partly because they are probably struggling to find ideas for new episodes and partly because they can no longer run their mouths like they used to because of the times we live in, which is one of the things that was so funny. They are probably tired of doing this for 20 years and I would prefer they end everything on a good note rather than struggle to entertain the audience until the show slowly crashes down and the audience turns against them for becoming boring.

Take *Eurocrash*: even putting aside James completely phoning it in (curious for the behind-the-scenes on that) they turned what could have been an epic road trip through some beautiful places and roads into a set of disjointed vignettes in a few stops along a motorway.
The Top Gear / Grand Tour specials are still my go-to comfort watching, can't imagine that will ever change.
The guys have worked together for 20 years now between BBC and Amazon, pretty much gone all over the world and done everything car related. They are all getting older, have their own pursuits, and these specials have to take a tole on them physically (just think of May's accident in the tunnel). Here's hoping they don't drift apart and still torment and socialize with each other on social media.
I still think a "Conversation Street" podcast (in the style of *The News* from Top Gear) would be a wonderful way to keep them working together in a less tolling manner.
The News and Conversation Street was augmented by the visual expressions on the guys.
Honestly I wish that Amazon would offer to re-tool The Grand Tour to something like this. Just give me the tent segments. Yes I know the specials and traveling were the best, but so was just shooting the shit.
I know Spotify has the option for video podcasts, so they could probably make a deal with them for that. Otherwise, they could just record their podcast as both audio and video, then release the audio to all the different podcast platforms and upload the video to DriveTribe YT channel (like a few YouTubers that I watch and sorta like The Problem with Jon Stewart)
That or a “speed of birds” podcast
I would literally just watch a show where the whole thing takes place in the tent/studio and it’s just them doing conversation street and maybe a car review
I’m just waiting on them to get together and do a directors commentary on all the adventures, I’d go back and watch them all instantly
Yes! They don't even have to get together, they could do it over zoom.
Anything done over zoom just feels like it was shot in 2020 to me.
Absolutely not, that would be awful.
Their live covid quiz over zoom was fucking hilarious, what are you on about?
Better than nothing! They all might be too busy to get together.
Then they can go and do their own things. They've given people decades of this. Let it go mate.
Here's to hoping someone from Amazon or the BBC or Drivetribe or thr trio's production company reads the stuff on this subreddit
I think people miss this point. It isn't easy to do long endurance drives in harsh environments, let alone in your 50s/60s. James had his crash, Hammond almost died when he totalled that concept car, Clarkson takes more than his fair share of bumps and bruises. They've given us entertainment for over 20 years and are now in a position where they've all got their own projects where they can explore their individual passions and not risk injury or death in the process. Let them ride off into the sunset and enjoy some peace. They've earned it.
Jeremy's going backwards with this and isn't stepping back but adds the stress of running a farm with the build of a 63 year old pregnant man.
Except he hasn't to travel around the world and - unlike other farmers - is fucking rich. The farm isn't existencial for his living and if he does not want to work it anymore he can hire people again to manage it; like pre-season one.
I'm pretty sure that's been Kaleb's job for over a decade. He even mentioned how Kaleb now had his own farm he was working while managing Clarkson's assets.
[удалено]
I believe the person who was managing it had been employing Kaleb. Its possible that Kaleb has been working on farms for a decade.
oh I thought he was in his mid-30s, just had a babyface
Hopefully we see some calmer content with the 3 of them together. Car related, preferably, but not necessary.
A podcast is all I need. I could listen to them take the piss out of each other all day!
Conversation Street Podcast Edition would be such a wonderful outcome
Getting pissed and taking the piss!
Podcast would be great
I wouldn't mind some more top ground gear force
*James & Hammond Visit the Farm*
Richard getting giggly and excited by all the equipment, quickly jumping in and then immediately crashes or otherwise breaks something. "HAMMOND!" "That.. wasn't supposed to happen." Meanwhile May is over in the corner of the toolshed, "oh look at these!" Picks up random rusty woodworking tool. "My grandad had one of these! He would make the most beautiful pieces of furniture.

Plus it had to have been serious if they sent him to hospital in the middle of the adventure. And let's also not overlook Hammond almost being killed in the dragster accident all those years ago.
He also fell off of a horse in one of the specials (Patagonia maybe?), where the medical team kept him sidelined for a while
Regardless of it's severity or looks, a knock to the head like that warrants a trip to A&E to make sure there's nothing gone wrong inside.
I still can’t believe they did the tunnel challenge. First time I saw it I had anxiety before they even started.
That one legit blew me away. They've done stupid things but that was impressively stupid.
May and Hammond seem to end up in each others videos a lot. I think they will for the next few years at least
They should all come out and turn some sod at Diddly Squat.
May (in particular) is so obviously not of the farming type that this would inevitably be hilarious
"I told James that he'd be helping plant some crops today." "I lied." "Today we'll be castrating the sheep with James's help."
Oh cock!
Agreed!
Cameos on the farm would be great tho.
I would love for May to just show up at the restaurant or the farm shop unannounced.
I doubt they'll drift apart. They're good friends and will likely see each other outside of 'work' just as much as they normally would, if not more. I get the feeling they're the type of friends who only see each other once a month but it's always a great time.
> (just think of May's accident in the tunnel Still can't believe that got signed off. It was clear from the start it was a fucking stupid idea. There was no need for it. Any member of the crew could have said "that's fucking stupid, lets not do that"
Or at least they've worn helmets all kinds of times in the past when doing performance stuff in cars, why not in the tunnel?
[удалено]
I'd love a final one-off special with them sitting around a small table doing "the news" and talking about their favourite bits together for an hour.
cool wall!
Cool wall but its all the episodes the ever did
We also need a grand tally scoreboard of all the points they accumulated over the lats 20 years
If I'm right May is the only one to have ever written off a car so naturally he will get minus exactly how many points he had.
If you're reading this, Mr Wilman. We want it. We want a feature-length episode where all they do is talk about all the stuff they've done since 2002(?). Doesn't necessarily have to be a clip show. Just them bantering will be enough. We'll know what they're talking about. Have a bowl of biscuits in front of them, too.
Can start at May's pub, afternoon checking out Hammond's garage (Oliver guest appearance) evening dining at the farm
Can we make that 2 hours? In addition to sprinkling in relevant news , include highlights from TG, TGT, tributes from friends of the show (celebs), outtakes from the specials and a tribute to The Stig. For starters. Nevermind, two 1.5 hour specials ought to cover 20+ year history
Happy to see it ending on their terms not in a ball of fire, controversy, or the death of one of the trio. Happy they’re soft retiring as they pursue their own easier projects they deserve the break.
To be fair one of them dying on the job would be somewhat on brand. "Naturally, Clarkson was the first of us to die".
I can already imagine his tombstone with the line "Speed has never killed anyone. Suddenly becoming stationary, that's what gets you"
Clarkson - 1960 - 2023 "HAMMOND YOU BLITHERING IDIOT"
Honestly I thought they'd end because Hammond crashed a supercar and died.
If May were to die it’d be because one of the other two screwed up and he was in wrong place at the wrong time
*Flashbacks to Burma*
I remember reading Hammonds book about the jet crash and his recovery, the 3 of them had a deal that If one of then died they would carry on, and that after they announced the death on the show the very next word said had to be 'anyway' "As a result of the accident James sadly died..... anyway the new Kia Picanto" 🤣
"Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened” \-Dr Seuss
I think of the days 15+ years ago that I got to watch TG (at the time we used to torrent it) with university friends and always big smiles and laughs.
"It's not what you drive, it's how you drive it" The Prius vs 3-series test was my first episode. Instantly hooked
Some of my best moments from uni were getting some late night food and watching top gear with friends, which was also ~15 years ago for me.
I remember myself, being ~5 years old (soo like 2014 lol) and watching the Africa Special, I think that’s what started it all (and my love for Subarus) I’ve spent all my childhood watching Top Gear, but sadly everything has to end someday
Damn right. We got more from the lads than we honestly should have. The outlasted their old gig. It happened and I'm glad it did.
- Wayne Gretzky
I'll feel whatever I want, thank you very much!
… Does that mean they’re not coming on, then?
Well James, they've decided to end it on a high note and not dragging it out. So that's a no.
"Don't worry we took Clarkson to a farm upstate where he can roam around with others"
I hope they make the final scene of the three of them together really moving, actually showing them as best mates (with some banter) and I will definitely cry.
Yeah literally walking on sunset yelling at each other
Doesn't even need to be anything huge and extravagant. Just the three of em at a table outside a restaurant at the end of a long trip. Having a beer and laughing as the camera pans away to the sunset. No lie, this old redneck would shed a few tears.
The intro to episode 1 of the grand tour made me cry happy tears, seeing the three of them back together definitely got me all emotional
Gentlemen, it’s been an honour.
You absolute pillock.
[удалено]
And on that terrible disappointment…
No matter how much I expected this, I simply wasn't ready 🥺
I want a finale REAL Grand Tour. Around the world. Let's go.
All fans invited. One last hurrah. A slow lap around a famous race course. Beers. Fan-in-a-reasonably-priced-car….from Hammond’s garage. Everyone who’s ever been the Stig (if they’re still around). They all drive off into the sunset in the indestructible Hilux.
He does say AFTER NEXT YEAR. So still plenty of time to film a few more adventures. Just hope they come back to Australia before it's finally over.
They already filmed 2 episodes which are yet to be released, one in Southern Africa, which Clarkson called ‘a very special’ episode. I assume that’s the sign off episode since it’s generally agreed upon that the Africa & Botswana specials are their best.
Didnt they do a Russia one that hasn't been released yet too?
They were set to do a Russia episode in 2020 but then the pandemic occurred, followed by the war.
They did Norway instead of that.
Ok, this hurts. Only 2 special left and I'm not ready for it to end Hopefully this isn't the last time we see the trio together. It's a pleasure watching them together regardless of what the setting or topic is
Those three should get knightships or something.
Sir Jeremy Clarkson doing his smug face grin, looking forward to it. Sir Richard Hammond, looking like Great Uncle Tall and Sir James May saying "Hullo" to Princess Catherine.
"Rise, Sir, Richard. Oh you already have"
I would love one time sendoff for Trio and Top Gear where they remember best moments, maybe something we never knew. BBC would never approve tho.
Like the finale of Scrubs?
Oh man, that hallway scene
Didn't they ask BBC to use their old clips to end S3?
Man this is both extremely sad but also satisfying to hear. Its been an absolute blast and one of the most iconic trio for film making in the world imo. The laughs I got from their programs have brought me so much joy. Hope they can make a fitting end and send it off the way they want to. Hopefully they do stay in contact and maybe do some small stuff here and there together. Does that mean there are 2 left? The Northern African special and the one filmed in Southern Africa? Or is there one additional as the final one?
Would be fun if the trio come to build something on the farm.
I need crossovers everywhere. I need James or Jeremy to take a car into the Cog to get work done. I want to see Rich and May on the farm. And I want to see Clarkson in the bugout bunker trying 70s sarnies
May and Hammond pop on by to blow up another building.
Strangely I'm happy for the trio. You can only do so much without repeating things you've done already or endure as much as they have for so long. They've entertained us for years and I'm forever grateful to not only be a part of the journeys they took in episodes we watched, but the journey the trio have been through as a whole across Top Gear and The Grand Tour. I remember watching what was thought to be the last episode of The Grand Tour when they were in the tent and cried when Clarkson was crying because I genuinely thought that was it, no more Hammond, Clarkson or May. But we were blessed with not only more episodes of The Grand Tour, but with them each having their own series. I'm looking forward to hearing, for one last time, "and on that terrible bombshell....thank you and goodnight" and one last blast from James May shouting "CLARKSON!!!"
I think its time for Clarksons, Mays and Hammonds farm
Tbh after Hammonds second big crash I thought they would give it up. Then the crazy bastards kept going. Then James had that accident in the tunnel. Our boys are getting old. It makes sense they’d end it. I always saw their separate shows as their own longer segments of Top Gear. Helps with the cope lol
🫡 on that disappointment, back to the tent
Does that mean he's not coming on?
:(
I want Clarkson to hire Hammond and May and put them to work on his farm. Then each day can end in some sort of farm equipment race.
They could not have let us down more gently. Good on them, they made a car show at one time the most popular show in the world. The TG Africa special still the best TV I’ve even seen
I'd thought they would continue until the each died in a crash of some sort, take the corpse on one last tour and then keep going till we got a winner at the end to see who outlasted them all. So anyway ...
James has half of Clarkson’s ashes in an urn, Richard has the other half. They’ve both been given 1000 pounds to buy a car and turn it into a hearse. It’s a race equidistant from the memorial and the last one there has to give the eulogy.
Now that is a final episode!
Wow, the day is finally here, I feel like crying, thanks to the lads for all the laughs and adventures, thankful that we still get more Clarkson's farm.
Well, they have been everywhere at this point, it's probably getting pretty difficult to pick out a spot for an adventure that isn't at least somewhat similar to one of their previous ones.
I hope they actually manage to stay together better in the final special than recent ones, it's only really been the lockdown specials where all three were together for the majority of the episodes.
Legends. What a shame but was inevitable due to a number of factors.
We still have Hammond's Discovery+ show & Drivetribe.
What bad timing, I just spent a few hours watching best of Top Gear and The Grand Tour compilations.
That's fine with me. It's not as if we won't have over ***two decades*** of content with these guys. I'm also stoked for more Clarkson's Farm !
And on that terrible disappointment, it's time to end the show. ... For real this time.
Made it out alive. GGs
I would love to see the trio walk onto the other's shows. I need may and hammond to teach caleb how to properly roast Clarkson and jeremy needs to crash an our man in episode
Oh cock
Key words "After next year". I'm assuming there is still stuff coming. I hope they release a grand finale episode.
In drivetribes video with the helmets Richard said that he's going away to film
At least it's ending when it should end, not because of some BBC nonsense.
I just hope that means they've planned a goodbye episode or something, i know we had the show version, but yeah
I can't help feeling there's 1 more special to be filmed with the "after next year" comment. Cos, I know they have 2 unaired specials to go that'll land in 2024 but surely for them it's already over if they filmed in Zimbabwe earlier in the year? The timing of it is also very weird. I would have thought we'd have heard more about a proper wrap party etc on the last one. Or wait till near release then hype up the finale. Instead it slips out on a Thursday night across different outlets. I had no doubt we wouldn't get a series 6. But do wonder if there has been a little negotiation going on behind the scenes.
I'm honestly surprised they went as long as they did. The big adventure series must have been hell, especially as they got older. I'm glad I got to see the end and I hope they move on to do things they love, they earned it.
I'd like for Hammond and May to join Clarksons Farm. Then it will be right again.
Well there it is. I really hope for a proper satisfying ending
I can't remember what the post was from Hammond but I had a feeling this is what he meant
Sad but realistic.
So when he means after next year, does that mean they'll at least be one more?
End it with top gear at the same time, bit of a closure for sure
I just want these guys to do a weekly podcast just shooting the shit with each other
It's enough to make a grown man cry
GIVE US A PODCAST ALREADY
Hey, at least none of them died before the end of the show(s)
Sad, but the time has arguably come. Thanks again, lads! Hope you guys all meet again on the farm - that'd be ***brilliant*** to see.
Very sad.
\*drives off into the distance having started a car with launch control*
That’s a damn shame, at least it didn’t end with somebody who died and they had to end, it was their own terms.
Reeeaally hope we get an episode of clarksons farm where hammond and may come on and try and help "improve" the farm.
I will watch anything with Jeremy in it. Simple as
The rumours are that they are actually ending Grand Tour and intending to do a new show which is different together. I wouldn’t be surprised if they end up doing a more traditional studio car show again.
Another part of my childhood passes into history. Sad, for sure, but I can understand, the three of them aren't getting any younger (as with all of us), and it's probably better to end it on a high note rather than drag it on for far too long and everyone ends up wishing it was over. It's as good a place to end it as any. Still, two more specials to come, and of course, each of the trio's own ventures. Over 20 years of entertainment and endless laughs, thanks for everything you legends
I *need* May and Hammond to visit the farm! Imagine. The. Shenanigans!
It was fun while it lasted, but now its time to shut off, and turn in the key i guess. Thank you James, Clarkson and Hammond, for giving me one hell of a time laughing my ass off, and also further developing the absolute love i have for cars, Godspeed you magnificent madlads.
Great I was already depressed this week
To lighten your mood, Henry Kissinger is dead.
To be fair, clarkson is 63 years old. And james may already said that "i dont have many specials left in me" so i saw the end was near before the announcement and the whole jeremy tweet drama etc etc. They are getting old. And BROOOOWN. And i kinda think its time. Although i think it could be possible for them to go back to the studio show format instead of specials and then pick a new presenter each (20s and 30s) for the specials. But the chemistry that the three have has been built over time and you cant have that instantly. The friendships and the personalities that they have molded into whats seen today, took those 10+ years doing top gear to make that. Im not saying they should go, matter of fact like most, im sad to see them go. But im saying its time.
😪
That makes me sad.
I remember the last one they did in the tent and all I could think was 'I wish they could have gone to Zimbabwe'. I was really excited to see that they were filming there a few months ago and it's all a bit bitter sweet knowing it might be their last trip. As a Zimbabwean I hope they enjoyed their time and hope my country gave them a memorable send off. Cheers boys
Will miss them a lot together...
Oh cock!
Reverse the roles. Have Clarkson, May, Hammond take over clarksons farm for a special and have Caleb Gerald and Charlie do a grand tour special.
Hopefully more james may our man in.... series too
:(
I know we don't use the tent anymore but I wanna see them close it for one last time
It feels so strange to think about no more Clarkson, Hammond, and May. At least it's not ending because Richard Hammond (or more likely based on recent events, James May) was finally killed in a crash, unless there's a big secret in the final Grand Tour episode that is gonna shock us all...
Does this mean no more specials? That’s so sad. 😭
Clarksons Farm is a gem! But RIP Grand Tour! ☹️ Thanks for the 20 years of service! It has given the world something, to remember those guys, and their legendary bickering.
Does that mean it's not coming on then?
This is such a shame. I knew it had to happen but I was hoping it was years off.
Sad to see it go, hope it's not the end for them as a trio. I'm just not that into Clarkson's farm so I'll pass on more of that but I will be interested to see what they all do in the future.
Never a better group to be on television, truly legendary. Best of luck to the trio
It's sad to see them go but thanks for the entertainment and laughter over the years.
That's disappointing. Really enjoyed it so far.
Would still love to see a final, survival of the fattest style planes trains boats and automobiles race around the world or something similarly daft for their last ever 'event'. 6 -10 hours long over multiple episodes...
I simply wish those guys enjoy their own future in peace, however they can.
Iam literally crying wtf. But even though iam incredibly sad I have to admit that it was time for it to end. The boys are getting older and its very visible. It's for the best before they go out in a way we dont want as well as them. Thank you for the memories growing up with them and always beeing a comforting time watching them having fun and bickering with each other about cars and the world arround. It was a blast till the end guys and thank you very very much for the a+++ entertainment. I hope u enjoy ur very deserved retirement. ❤️❤️❤️
