Tissues at the ready, “The Grand Tour” fans – the last ever episode is gearing up to be a tear-jerker.
Prime Video has released a nearly three-minute-long trailer for the final episode, “The Grand Tour: One for the Road,” which sees hosts Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May head to Zimbabwe on what is being billed as their last ever episode.
Set to Bonnie Tyler’s emotional ballad “Total Eclipse of the Heart,” the trailer gives fans a glimpse of what to expect when the special finally drops on Sept. 13, including crocodiles, sinking boats and some good old nostalgia.
In one scene, Hammond notes: “We never thought that what we do together would go on as [long] as it has” while May marvels at how long the trio have been working together: “22 years!”
Clarkson, Hammond and May first teamed up on BBC motoring series “Top Gear” in 2002. After Clarkson was fired from the show for punching a producer, his co-hosts left in solidarity. The trio were soon scooped up by Prime Video to host another motoring show, “The Grand Tour,” in 2016, which was similar in tone and theme to “Top Gear.”
“I shall certainly miss doing this sort of thing,” Clakson admits in the trailer as he zips down a road in Zimbabwe.
In a synopsis for the special, Prime Video tease: “In their last adventure, Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May ignore the instructions of Mr Wilman and head to Zimbabwe in three cars they’ve always wanted to own, a Lancia Montecarlo, a Ford Capri 3-litre, and a Triumph Stag, for a stunning road trip through beautiful and sometimes challenging landscapes leading to an emotional ending on a strangely familiar island.”
In one scene, teased in the trailer, the three men are tinkering with what appears to be a broken-down car when Hammond quips: “We don’t all have to go to the same old folks home do we, I mean it’s not obligatory after this?”
Clarkson, gesturing to May, laughingly retorts: “He said he’s deleting our numbers as soon as we finish!”
