Jeremy Clarkson admits the final The Grand Tour is his ‘favourite’ he’s ‘ever done’

Jeremy Clarkson will be heading to Zimbabwe with Richard Hammond and James May for the final episode which will air later this year.
After five series of The Grand Tour on Prime Video, Jeremy Clarkson has revealed his favourite episode of them all is the final one. The 63-year-old will be descending upon Zimbabwe with co-stars Richard Hammond and James May for the final instalment and Jeremy has admitted they saved the best for last.

He explained: “It’s my favourite one we’ve ever done. I’ve always thought we’d never go anywhere better than Botswana, and now we have.” The final episode will be airing on Prime Video later this year, but fans don’t have long to wait for the penultimate offering as it hits the streaming platform on February 16.

The Grand Tour: Sand Job will see the trio embark on the African country of Mauritania where the pals will replicate the Paris to Dakar rally. The show’s synopsis states: “Instead of bespoke Dakar racers, the boys must complete their journey in cheap modified sports cars.

“Their journey begins with the world’s longest train and sees them tackle the killer Sahara and perilous river crossings whilst protecting their precious fuel bowser from exploding.”

Richard, 54, drives across the Sahara Desert with Jeremy in sweltering heat and a broken air conditioner in his car. Richard takes a stunning Aston Martin DB9 Volante on the trip but is soon caught out.He quickly realised one of the most imperative tools had broken down as he battled to stay in a straight line.

Looking concerned, Richard quickly starts fiddling with dials on his dashboard but appears unable to fix the issue.

In the latest trailer, Richard explains: “Oh no. My air conditioning just packed up.”

However, instead of offering sympathy, his co-stars Jeremy and James, 61, laughed back at him.The programme was filmed back in May 2023 with temperatures said to be around 50 degrees. Reflecting on the show, Jeremy claimed filming was “b***dy tough”.

He explained: “We drank litres and litres of water, and we didn’t pee. I mean, I don’t know where it was going. Hammond said after three or four days, ‘I’m going to have a pee’. And I suddenly thought, ‘I haven’t had a pee this whole time’.”
