Haven't they not seen what happened to Top Gear in 2015 when the BBC did the same? Didn't exactly work wonders for them. Why do people ignore history?

Unlike Top Gear, TVZone’s article implies this has the approval of Clarkson, Hammond and May (probably Wilman also). I think as the whole Meghan Markle issue has blown over, I get the feeling now it was the hosts who called it a day rather than Amazon. If they did intend to cut their ties with Jeremy they wouldn’t have recommissioned Clarkson’s Farm again.

Let’s not forget Top Gear was one of the biggest shows on TV when it changed presenters first time round and there was intense pressure and huge scrutiny. It took the third attempt to get Top Gear right after 2015. Even then, it wasn’t anywhere near its former self. Chris Harris was probably best host to come out of this era.

This time, I don’t think whoever succeeds hosting The Grand Tour won’t be under as much pressure.

I still enjoy watching Clarkson, Hammond and May on TV as they work excellently on screen together. And I hope they work together again at some point. However, nothing lasts forever and 2/3 of them are in their 60s now, along with Andy Wilman.
