What’s Going on With The “New” Grand Tour?

Haven’t heard anything since the announcement of the new hosts. I saw that Clarkson said something about it coming out in May, but maybe he was referring to the new clip show?

Thomas/James, in a recent Throttle House video, kind of said they've been busy with TGT, having a kid (James only, lol), etc. recently, which kind of makes me feel like they're probably coming to the end of the S1 filming.
All speculation from me, by the way.

Hold up. The previous James was the only one who had no kids, and the current James is the only one who have kids?
How the turntable
shadezownage@reddit
i think that Thomas has kids as well based on his SUV choices, etc. I was more clarifying that they didnt have a kid together and/or that James was the one having the kid, not Thomas. I hope they read this. lol
I should have just reworded the statement, lol.
hunterturk@reddit
He does, Thomas missed filming the Honda with Perez due to the kid. James missed the Reveulto one due to the kid

Aahh ok, I don't follow them on TH or anywhere to know anything about them 😅

I'm a bad salesman, but if you want some kind of mini TG/TGT road trip, check out this playlist. Almost all of their other stuff on Throttle House is individual videos/reviews/etc., which of course we love, but this is an interesting look at what might be possible with a proper TGT crew and a train nut in the third seat.

I just saw this thing called "The Grand-ish Tour" on Amazon, is that it?
Guardsred70@reddit
Good question.... on one hand, I'd sorta like them to hurry up. I can hear Hammond's voice, "Just get on with it....".
On the other hand.... I also wonder if Episode 1 will be a big swing to show us fans that this isn't a watered down, diet version of the show (even if we get the diet version in Episode 2).
I suspect the greatest hits show is there to remind us about the grand tour and push it up in our algorithm.
Alternative_Life9414@reddit
push it up our algorithm? Sounds rather unpleasant,
llama3822@reddit
Just relax the algorithm beforehand

James May is prison slang in the Navy for standing-up buggery

Grandish tour also again clearly shows that the trio is just unreplacable.. i would rather watch them do a podcast from the oldfolks home :D
robertpercy93@reddit
All three of them have quite clearly said they are NOT into the idea of doing a podcast together at all.

It looks like the first season of the new version of the show's finished filming. It'll likely be in editing now.
porks2345@reddit
Any chance the new hosts might “stop by” diddly squat at some point in the season?
XenophonSoulis@reddit
I don't even remember May and Hammond ever stopping by in the first four seasons, so I wouldn't expect that.
edaddyo@reddit
Hammond is the one who 'chromed' his tractor hanging in the pub entry and James May was featured on the episode where Clarkson was still looking to buy a pub.
cheesekun@reddit
What? They are two completely different brands
porks2345@reddit
Executive produced by the same guy.
Aceman1979@reddit
“Executive produced” is a tangential relationship at best.
Evening-Physics-6185@reddit
Wonder if they are scripted by the same team?
bobsvaginplsbabyjirl@reddit
No
Fast_Assumption_118@reddit
Or the pub maybe!
djandyglos@reddit
They have one more “greatest hits” show to go and then I’m guessing the new show will be launched at some point soon after although no date has been announced yet
MrP1232007@reddit
What greatest hits shows have there been altogether? I remember reading that there would be four, I think.
Watched one episode of "the not very grand tour" and it was a bit 'meh' and not heard or seen anynore episodes. I assumed they'd shelved it.
Aceman1979@reddit
It’s been rebranded as this current clips show. Which is only slightly better, but better nonetheless.
MrP1232007@reddit
I had no idea there was a current clip show! There's something to look forward to watching on the weekend.
Aceman1979@reddit
It’s the very definition of dialling it in. It’s not very good and there’s nothing new.
YodasGoldfish@reddit
Maybe after Clarkson's Farm ?
Schwartzy94@reddit
Still waiting trailer for that also :D even tough it doesnt need one but its still under month away and no trailer...
SophisticatedVagrant@reddit
New season drops on June 3. In the past the trailer's have only come out like 2 or 3 weeks before release, so I'd expect it in the next week or two.
Far-Orange-3859@reddit
Nothing... Clearly is going on. Start it now and feg over with.
NeoCoN7@reddit
Clarksons Farm S5 starts in June so they’ll be waiting to get that out first.
1trickana@reddit
It takes months and months to edit. Just like original GT. They'd film in like October and it'd come out July the next year.
