Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May Amazon Prime car show FINALLY has a name… The Grand Tour.
After months of deliberation and lots of useful suggestions from the public, Amazon has today announced that Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond & James May have chosen a name.
Because they are taking their new Amazon Prime show around the world, they have decided it will be called: The Grand Tour.
Jeremy Clarkson said: “We’ll be travelling the world hosting each episode in a different country, from a giant tent. It’s a sort of ‘grand tour,’ if you like. So we’ve decided to call it ‘The Grand Tour.’”
James May admitted to being underwhelmed by the name: “I wanted to call it ‘Nigel,’ or ‘Roger.’ We needed a name, and they’re names.”
Richard Hammond was more positive: “I already love camping,” he said “But this is something else. We are like our pioneering and prospecting forebears, sallying forth into a new frontier of broadcasting, and making our home where…”.
The Amazon Prime show will feature short films shot in different locations around the globe and the studio audience portion of the showcase will also take place at a different location around the world every week.
The pre-recorded studio sections of the program will be filmed in front of a live audience, all housed within a giant tent. Therefore in this spirit of travel, adventure and intrigue, the presenters have decided to call the show The Grand Tour.
