The first of them, “Seamen” aired in December 2019, followed by the second “A Massive Hunt” in December 2020. Starting with season 4, The Grand Tour is now only about feature-length specials. Amazon has expanded its deal with the trio, which includes new solo shows (Our Man in Japan for May, Clarkson's Farm for Clarkson, and The Great Escapists for Hammond). Elsewhere, there's Hammond crashing his RV (expected), playing pranks on someone else's RV (what can go wrong?), and being applauded by Clarkson, May, and the masked crew for doing something stupid, it seems.Īfter airing 38 episodes across three seasons between 20, The Grand Tour has really slowed down its production as it has moved away from the hybrid studio and outdoors format. You know, as well as I do, how's that going to go. The “Lochdown” trailer ends with May's car stuck on said bridge, with Clarkson about to use his patented use-all-the-power strategy to give him a push. The “Lochdown” trailer reveals that Clarkson, Hammond, and May will also keep switching cars throughout the new The Grand Tour episode.Īnd what are they up to? As Clarkson says in The Grand Tour Scotland special trailer, they have to build a bridge to. Their classic (read: old) cars will naturally give them a lot of trouble, be it boiling engines or the struggles of getting out of them. Of course, things are not going to be smooth sailing. And you can't argue with that, given the sneak peek at the vistas that we see in The Grand Tour Scotland special trailer. Still, May promises “the most beautiful drive we have ever done” in the two-and-a-half-minute long trailer for The Grand Tour season 4 episode 3 “Lochdown”.
Hence the pun “Lochdown” in the title, referencing the Irish word for lake - and the famous Loch Ness.
For those wondering why they aren't in a more non-British exotic place - such as Cambodia/ Vietnam for episode 1, or Madagascar for episode 2 - that's because The Grand Tour's Scotland special was shot filmed during the COVID-19 lockdown. In it, the former Top Gear trio of Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May get in classic American cars and take off for Scotland. The Grand Tour will return on July 30, Amazon Prime Video has announced, with a new trailer for “The Grand Tour Presents: Lochdown”, the third feature-length special part of The Grand Tour season 4.
